Qtum Staking Tutorial using qtumd on a Raspberry Pi 3

in qtum •  8 years ago 

Thanks for the great guide! It seems like if you're dedicating a Raspberry Pi to nothing but QTUM staking it would make sense to not encrypt it. If I understand correctly, encrypting it makes it less likely to remain staking in the event of a reboot (e.g. power outage), and also introduces the need for re-entering an unlock password whenever the unlocked_until expires. Is it possible to encrypt it so and unlock it with a command line option that mentions it should remain unlocked for the next 365 days even in the event of reboots?

    I do recommend encrypting your wallet, but I have another guide to cover that.

    I'd be careful leaving any trace of your passphrase on the Raspberry Pi. Instead, it's better to have a watchdog process to inform you if the qtumd process goes down or if the qtumd PID changes (so that you can manually bring it up again, then securely unlock it). This topic is a bit more advanced though... but you have the right idea.
