Hey guys I have a question, if my computer is only ever used by myself do I really need to encrypt my wallet? Aren't macs secure enough from viruses not to need this? Have you ever heard of cases where peoples coins were taken from a mac by a virus ect? Thanks
You don't necessarily have to but if you want to backup your wallet and save it at several places (e.g. USB Sticks etc.) -- what you should definitely do by the way -- you might want to encrypt it so that it is locked just in case somebody should get their hands on your wallet.dat. |

This. You are not secure from someone physically stealing your Mac or any backup you have. Encrypt and put on several USB drives. Put the USBs in different locations. |

What is the lowdown on mac wallets? Do they have to be compiled separately for every osX version? So someone has to compile a 10.6 , 10.7,10.8 and Mavericks version and offer four separate downloads per coin?

As far as I can tell, the only OS change that makes a difference is between 10.6 and 10.7. If you compile a wallet on 10.6, it should work on 10.6 through 10.9. If you compile a wallet on 10.7 or above, it should work on 10.7 through 10.9. |

The joulecoin mac wallet is out of date. An update to the wallet software means you can't sync until about 12 weeks before without an update.

Could someone please point me in the direction of any guides that might exist for compiling an alt-coin on OSX (I'm interested in windows as well). Thanks!
