Please forgive me for the "n00b" questions here - trying to make the most of my BBP.
1. You mentioned RPC - what is that? Is that the same as the console in the tools window?
2. You discussed using a fresh wallet for testing. That makes sense. I currently have one main BBP wallet. Would you recommend that I create a second one specifically for staking? If so, can I do that on the same computer?
Hi Radar,
On #1, yes RPC = the "Tools | Info | Console" command line. For example where you type 'getmininginfo'.
On #2, I do not recommend using a new wallet, no. Going to a new wallet erases your rsa key, nickname, hoses up the podc purse key in the config file, etc. I only meant that I was testing our utxo system for a new user with a clean wallet to ensure they did not run into problems spending the last coin. For all of us with established wallets, I highly recommend Not moving to a new wallet (unless you plan to deliberately make a new wallet, put a stake in it , put it on a usb flash drive and put it in a safe and let it sit there as a long term investment). Because if you have e-mails or any CPKs or any social interaction with your current wallet.dat, you will just want one wallet so that all of that remains working.
