I'm curious about my wallet settings. Do I need to leave the wallet unlocked when I turn off my computer? It's locked every time I open up the wallet and I have to unlock with my password. Will this prohibit me from gaining interest with my PoS? (I'm new to the cryptocurrency world). Cheers for any info
Just checked myself... You are right, we need to unlock it every time. Let's wait for a reply from someone of knowledge.
My wallet is encrypted, but it needs to be unlocked to stake:
1. In the wallet app, click Help -> Debug Window
2. Click Console Tab
3. On the command line enter: walletpassphrase 999999 true
This will unlock the wallet for MINTING ONLY and is safe. Put in your wallet passphrase in place of the <> above (your wallet IS encrypted, right?)
So if your pass phrase was bob you would enter:
walletpassphrase bob 999999 true
The 999999 is seconds.
