actually ipominer.com is mining all day ecc..wether is profitable or not... its not a multipool... its an ecc pool!!
  Grin Maybe they fall in love with ECC girl that's why :-)
To Hostmaster,
I Encrypted my wallet and have couple questions regarding that matter.

1. When I click the unlock button and close the wallet, will I still be able to mint ?

2. When I reopen the wallet it automatically locks. Is there a way to permanently unlock the wallet so that it won't lock and stop the minting process every time the wallet is reopened ?

1. No. You have to have your wallet open in order to mint pos blocks
2. No. If you want your wallet unlock all the time, then don't encrypt it

you can try to use console

at Debug window, click Console type
walletpassphrase WALLETsPASSWORD 3600 true
3600 = 1 hour you can try this not sure if works use 0 to make it 10 hours...
Thanks for the quick answer Hostmaster. One last question. Is there a way to permanently decrypt a wallet ?

I don't think there is an easy route for this..

Here is what you could do. If you decide to do this.. please do so at your own risk.

1) Close ECCoin wallet.
2) Find wallet.dat (default location is C:\Users\"YOUR USER"\AppData\Roaming\ECCoin).
3) Rename it to wallet.old
4) Launch wallet.
5) Copy the address from this new and empty wallet.
6) Close wallet.
7) Rename (new) wallet.dat to wallet.new
Cool Rename wallet.old to wallet.dat
9) Launch wallet.
10) Send all your ECCoins to the copied address from new wallet.
11) Close wallet.
12) Rename wallet.dat to wallet.old
13) Rename wallet.new to wallet.dat
14) Launch wallet.
15) Enjoy your new and unecrypted wallet with your previous balance (keep in mind that you won't be able to use your old address of course)

In a few words, you are transferring your balance to a brand new wallet. Should take you 3-5 minutes maybe

Why would you like to have it decrypted anyway? I find the new "unlock" button quite convenient Wink

or, if he need the same address,
-get the private key of the address (dumpprivkey
)
- close the wallet qt
- rename the wallet.dat to wallet.old
- open wallet qt again, this will create a new wallet.dat
- then import your private key (importprivkey )

Thank you for solutions to share.
