Random dumb questions about proof of stake minting

Support
1

Should I be generating a new address everytime I make a peercoin deposit in my qt client wallet, which I use for POS minting? Does the timer reset the way it does when an outgoing transaction occurs?

is history -w && history -c && clear sufficient after everytime I enter my password into the command prompt, or should I really be using a script? if so, will the same script in the windows tutorial thread work for linux?

When proof of stake minting starts, will it only take those coins that are a month old, or will it start a little later and take all the coins and I missed out on coin days?

I guess I’m a little confused about best practices and why.

also, hi, peercoin community. I bought thousands of peercoin and 15 cents and traded them in at 25 cents. Don’t I feel dumb now. Lol.

Anyway, this coin previously had my attention, now it has my interest.

Here is a linux script for setting up minting without using the password in the shell. Change the /location/ to where your ppcoind is located. If you installed it into a folder in your PATH then you can just remove the /location/

#!/bin/bash
echo “make sure ppcoin-qt is running first.”
read -s -p "Enter ppcoin wallet passphrase : " passphrase
echo “Starting ppcoind with stake mining enabled”
/location/ppcoind walletpassphrase $passphrase 9999999 true

Let me know if you have questions, if anyone wants to improve on this please do :slight_smile:

script vetted, up and running, and working beautifully!

note to anyone else in my position of being a linux noob: after creating the script file, right click it in explorer, go to permissions, and check “Allow executing file as program.”
anyone know how to do this from the command line, just out of curiosity?

thanks CoinBadger! Someday i’ll tip you when I’m not poor.

can anyone clarify the other questions I had?

The command from the commandline is "chmod 755 "

chmod a+x script
works too, a denotes all permission levels (user/group/other) and x denotes execute permission
