Hi all,
Please tell us the way to safely stake our BTCD if you know.
Thanks!


AFAIK  you click on settings in wallet then click on encrypt wallet and create password, make sure password is
1: Strong
2: Unique
3: Copied to a safe location......This is most important, if you forget lose password you can't access your coins ( I stuffed my next password and it cost me heaps)

After restarting wallet click on settings then unlock wallet. Enter password making sure the "For staking only" box is ticked

you should now be staking safely.

Make sure that you backup your wallet.dat file to a safe location

Hope I've got it right and it helps

Yes seriously keep your password somewhere safe, I've lost it once too Roll Eyes

For additional safety I have my wallets on my second computer which is only used for safekeeping (otherwise clean install). That way I can reduce the chance of malicious programs touching my precious.
It is rather easy to get keyloggers and rats on your computer nowadays from the internet.
