This is the latest tech update.  We were waiting until we had the windows compile and a certain mac issue to announce.  Also, it looks like some were encountering errors that require that the blockchain cache be cleared.

An important update regarding whitecoin

I would like to thank everyone for their support. I am amazed at how this community has come together. Since announcing this, I've had hundreds of people reach out to me offer moral, material, and technical support.

A work group of major stakeholders in whitecoin has been assembled, our plan is to commission a dev to properly update the wallet for us in the coming hours. We have found the dev we need. However, we feel it is only fair that those who are devoting their expertise be compensated. Real people with real jobs will be dropping everything to save whitecoin. 

Our plan will be handled via a transparent process, we will not accept code from an anonymous or non-qualified dev. Here are some basic facts for everyone:

1. The premine is gone, we believe it was dumped long ago, and still no contact from the whitecoin creators.
2. A vast and financially backed alliance is forming to create a legitimate whitecoin foundation.
3. The blockchain is secure and your coins are safe.
4. We expect to release a wallet update within 24 hours if not much sooner.
5. To continue to protect the block chain, if you support this plan, we ask you to point your hash to whitecoinpool.com at port 3377
6. We continue to request that all users avoid transferring their coins wallet to wallet, and that exchanges not permit exit of whitecoin until the update and hard fork.
7. Notice of the hard fork will be given in advance.
8. Transparent fundraising via an escrow service will be announced tomorrow so that whitecoin can move to the next phase and recover.
9. All users at whitecoinpool.com (chunkypools) were protected from this crash by virtue of the fact we had no time or faith to process our final WhiteCoin buys once this situation became clear. Your hash from the last 24(approx) hours has been protected as BTC, payouts will resume in the morning.
10. After this message you will not hear from us until morning, when after I've received an update on the new devteam's progress, I will make a followup announcement.

My personal goal is to see WhiteCoin move to 10K sat+ where our community believes it should be. I won't quit until that happens.

Thanks again for all your support and patience, point your miners, let's get some sleep, and it's a new day for whitecoin tomorrow.

With highest respects,

Chris Salsman

You wallet needs to be unlocked to start staking. Whether it's encrypted or not has no affect on staking, it's the unlocking that starts the staking, then you just have to wait. If you have a lot of coins you will se pos coins faster. if you only have a couple hundred you're going to be waiting a while.

To start Staking whilst retaining the security of your wallet, go Help>Debug Window. Now select the Console tab. Type the following at the bottom: walletpassphrase YourPassphrase 9999999 true
Replace the YourPassphrase with your own passphrase. (the encryption password you added earlier on) The 9999999 relates to the amount of seconds that you wish to leave the wallet open for staking. Once you have added this hit Enter.

Just use new wallet 1.0.1

see here for the backstory. I am now one of the devs. We are trying to get a whole bunch of stuff going on right now. We have not vanished into the ether, but there was a major shakeup. We have big plans, but they will take some time. Hang tight.

In the meantime, there are some things everyone involved can do. Use Earthazaar, buy silver from ATXsilver, get merchants interested in the coin, and frankly, buy it while it's cheap. If half of what we're trying for works out, it won't be cheap for very long.

What exactly do you mean by controlling?
