Re: Cryptogenic Bullion | 2014 THE YEAR OF THE BULL!

FYI, unlocking your wallet every 90 days will assure you of earning max PoS interest (1.5% annually). 30 days will get you 1.2% annually.

Hi,
So I finally got around to doing the stake minting, but it failed to accept my pass-phrase which was verified as the correct phrase. I followed the prior instructions, again, and again. That was a couple of weeks ago.

Then last week I noticed I was using the prior Qt wallet, not the newest one.

1. Was that the problem possibly - the Qt wallet was not the newest one???

2. Or was I just not doing something correctly instead???

I am a bit baffled.

3. Lastly, can we simply not stake mint for several months or longer, and still get our stakes eventually, and
   will they be just as large as the "every 90 days" stake minting percentage returns??? Or More??? Or less???

4. Or is the every 90 days minting the most Optimum point to get maximized returns???

   I ask this because of course it was pointed out that every 30 days is less than optimum, so I can only
   wonder if I did minting only once a year it would also be less than Optimum??? Or Not??
...

Let me see if I can help here, I hope I address all of your questions. You can always reach out to the team via the website support https://cryptogenicbullion.org as well.

- You should download the new client from the website mentioned above
- The old client will still work for your interest earnings, so that was not your issue
- Unlocking your wallet every 30 days will get you 1.2% interest per year, every 90 days 1.5% interest
- 90 days is the max weight so waiting > 90 days will still earn you the interest accrued over the 90 days (1 year would equal 90 days as an example)
- I will get with the dev team regarding your Armory request

Command for unlocking you wallet to collect interest (remember to do this every 30 days at the minimum and every 90 days as the maximum - every 90 days is the ideal for max interest) - NOTE: Do not type the < > symbols.

PC:
walletpassphrase 999999

Mac:
walletpassphrase <"passphrase"> 999999

Hope this helps and thanks for the feedback and advice - good stuff! I am going to send you a CGB for the input

Please provide you addy

Would just like to add to elamberts post.

I'm on windows and when I first tried to unlock for minting I kept getting an error.

The problem was I used a pass-phrase with spaces between the words.

Here is an example of how not to do it if you use a phrase with spaces:

walletpassphrase my wallet passphrase 99999

Error: Error parsing JSON:passphrase

Eventually I realized I needed to put it in like this.

walletpassphrase 'my wallet passphrase' 99999

Was nice to see that stubborn little catch flip open on the lock on my client.

Hope this helps if this is the case.

Thank You! This worked. I will confirm below what did end up working for myself.

This Last tip unlocked my wallet for minting.

=====================================================

Step 1. Open your CGB Qt Wallet Client

Step 2. Let the wallet update and fully sync up to date.

Step 3. After sync is complete then click HELP/DEBUG WINDOW/CONSOLE tab

Step 4. enter the correct command as shown by example below into the bottom
   of the Debug window where the input box is, after the correct input phrase
   then click ENTER on your keyboard. The inputted command you just typed
   will then display on the screen in the Debug Window. Wait until minting as
   expected is completed. That may, or may not take a little while.

Notes: You can close up the Debug window to monitor the Minting Progress in the
   Overview/main screen while you wait. A popup window will announce any
   received minted coins.

Note: Note your beginning CGB balance so if you miss the popup receive notice
   you'll instantly realize they came. Or check the Transactions window/tab to
   check if the minted coins arrived if you didn't note the beginning balance.

Note: Simply close the Qt Client to end the minting session and to re-lock the wallet.

To confirm exactly what to input:

if one's pass-phrase is for example = password123

then this is exactly what I inputted below to make minting begin.

This is exactly correct command phrase, per example format:

for example one's password = password123
enter exactly what's below this line, on the next line, note the spaces too:

walletpassphrase 'password123' 99999

Just don't forget the quotes around your pass-phrase, they may, or may not be required. First try with the quotes, and if that doesn't work then try without the quotes wrapped around one's correct 'passphrase'.

This unlocked the CGB Qt Wallet for my own minting purposes. It's extremely easy to do once one does it once. Then I left it open until the minting is done, note the balance before beginning in case one misses the popup message indicating newly minted cgb coins have been received.

the ' ' wrapped around the password123 was what was needed here, without the ' ' it simply didn't work no matter what else I tried before. But apparently for some Windows PC's that's not the case.

So at least some windows PC's will need those quotes rapped around the persons 'passphrase' to unlock the wallet for minting purposes. Seems odd some Windows PC's need that, and some don't, but at least that is solved.

That's really easy once one knows exactly how to do it, and I will assume that soon it will be refined even more.

Just realize that if one mined those CGB that the first minting session will result in minting that trickles in over a while, in small drips and drabs per say (that's my own situation, and it's trickling in a little at a time, with one transaction after another, for myself starting about 10 or so minutes after starting the minting routine).

Thanks Again for that last tip, it was golden,
