Thank you
Yes your CPU will be used on the mined coins to stake once they age 10 days. It is generally very low usage, it only gets high if you have many thousand small blocks of coins, try to stake at once.
Creating mulit-wallets (one for mining and one for staking, and one for general spending) is good practice. But it all depends on how many you mine, and how often you plan to move them around. No need to stop mining while loading or unloading wallets. Encrypted wallets can be problematic, and need to be unlocked once loaded. See walletpassphrase usage.
By coin size I simply mean how man coins were included in a certain transaction. I like to collect the mined coins in my wallet until they get to 100+ then I move them to staking wallet. Each person
I get approx 10% orphans on stake, your results may vary, depending on CPU speed/usage and network latency. You can decrease the chance for orphans by increasing the maxconnections. By default it is set to 8, but can be overridden by -maxconnection switch or by use in the conf file. And for mining you can help by setting the scan time to be much lower, like 20 seconds, in cgminer
The name came from the original developer thundertoe. It was thought up during a chat session at Cryptsy's with a few other people. My plans for the coin is to create a very easy way to give to your favorite charity. But it is free to be used for any purpose a persons wishes. :-)
Welcome aboard. See our giveaway thread for free coins!
Very informative post! I hope it's OK for you if I copy parts of your post to our mining pool's welcome page @
hbn.smartmining.net to keep users informed on how to handle their wallets.
