So I went to protect my wallet with a passphrase and it told me that minting was suspended because of a locked wallet... So will I never receive POS distributions because of the passphrase? I also went to remove the passphrase and that option is greyed out, so I'm in a bit of a bind here...
Simplest way without having to go to the debug console whenever you restart your client:
Create a .bat file in your mintcoin folder which should also have the daemon in it (mintcoind.exe)
Inside the bat file put this:
@echo off
@echo Enter password...
SET /P variable=Password :
mintcoind walletpassphrase %variable% 9999999 true
After starting your wallet, open the bat file, enter your password and you're done until you restart the client again.
