For now account aliases could be created using 'Other' type and data in this format:
acct:XXX@fim
where XXX is a numeric account.
Great thanks, thats how it will work to! I'll put that on the other
forumRight, so that should count as a "Sent" transaction that secures the account and allows forging. Right?
Yes. That counts as a transaction. Sending a message counts as a transaction to.
I assume it is only forging is you are running the client and logged in. OR are you saying, my dgex balance is forging even though I haven't installed and logged into a client yet?
You must either run a node and start forging there. Or start forging on the public node

But. I don't recommend doing that with large stakes. There is always the risk of that server being hacked/snooped or whatever.
We consider our sysadmin to be very good, but as a rule you should be very careful sending your passphrase to public nodes.
