How do I verify that I have activated POS correctly?
I typed the relevant stuff in to the console, hit enter, it went green, followed by an empty line, and that's it.
Not sure if it is working or not.
Thanks!
In console, type "getmininginfo" (no quotes), and in the listing you should see: "hashespersec" : #. If # is 0 then something was done incorrectly, otherwise you will see a number.
My bad...you should also see "generate" : true. Then you are doing POS.
"setgenerate" true is for cpu solo mining, for pos you just need to unlock your wallet. Make sure you encrypt wallet with a password and then go to debug console and type "walletpassphrase" xxxxxxx "999999999" true (xxxx is your password with no quote marks) you will have to retype this if you close your wallet, and no coins will be generated by pos until coins remain in your wallet for 365 days without being moved.....!
To see if pos is activated just look at the lock icon on bottom right corner of wallet it should look unlocked. Also just hold your mouse over it and it should say "wallet is encrypted and UNLOCKED"
