I started the wallet with sudo systemctl start ppcoin-qt@pi.service. Can i start minting in the graphical client too or do i need to type peerbox -mint in the terminal? ??? (I know that the coins need to stay 30 days in the wallet before i can start).
And how can i see the desktop in putty? I tried startx(Don’t have the permission…) and sudo startx(Pi crashes…).
I’ve my pi since 2 days… I need to learn a lot :))
I hope you can understand my English and thanks for your help
[quote=“irritant, post:552, topic:2353”]you could leave your wallet offline, and only mint at the moments that your coins are matured, there were calculators for it but I can’t find them or they’re gone (http://www.peercoincalculator.info/), or maybe here it is: http://poscalculator.peercointalk.org/
for convenience (and better contributing to the network), it is also possible to go ahead and unlock wallet for minting what will happen is:
def walletpassphrase(self, passphrase, timeout=99999999, mint_only=True):
'''used to unlock wallet for minting'''
return self.node.walletpassphrase(passphrase, timeout, mint_only)
leaving the wallet unlocked for minting for 99999999 seconds[/quote]
Gotcha. The second link to the peercoin minting calculator worked, and was actually really helpful with putting the whole concept of minting into perspective. That’s what I needed! Thanks!
[quote=“Intensor, post:554, topic:2353”]I enabled port forwarding for the port 9901 but i still get just 8 connections.
There is a setting to connect thorugh a SOCKS4-Proxy. Do i need to activate it?[/quote]
The same thing happened to me when I first set my node up. I just restarted my pi and I eventually got more than 8 connections (that took a few minutes though). Don’t know if that will help you, but it’s worth a shot at least.
You have to wait until your wallet is fully synced, otherwise no external clients will connect to you.
(8 connections is the amount your client made by itself)
