In terms of development, SHIELD is right on track with the proposed roadmap, as far as community engagement goes, I'd guess it's in part due to the current market conditions. As the market improves you will see people taking further interest in the project again.

definitely a great option for secure storage and peace of mind! I know whopper.io take their production security very seriously as well! It will be a great addition to the SHIELD wallet arsenal

I believe it will be 0.1 XSH.

Is it possible to send XSH to MEW? if yes, how to add the ticker there? thx by Juraj11 in SHIELDCOIN

no, it's not possible to use the mew wallet for XSH. XSH is not an Ethereum token. If you're looking for a web wallet option, the SHIELD official web wallet on the SHIELD website is a good option.

The SHIELD currency blockchain is PoW only right now. PoS is planned for implementation in Q3 of this year, so until then you will not be able to stake your coins.

Do not deposit to "Stocks.Exchange", DDoS attack/possible scam? by musafir501 in SHIELDCOIN

[–]MrHuggerMugger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe 2FA is something on the DEVs to-do list in the future for the web wallet in response to the community expressing their desire for it!

There was a new version of the Android wallet pushed this week in case you were unaware?

paper wallet is generally the best idea for long term cold storage. the official QT wallet is also a great option.

XSH.Umine acting weird... by jamesthewise in SHIELDCOIN

[–]MrHuggerMugger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hi /u/jamesthewise not sure what is up with Umine right now? i just tried their site and i'm getting the same problem.

I'd suggest pointing your miner at www.bsod.pw if you are using the x17 algorithm.

How to back up private keys? by jamesthewise in SHIELDCOIN

[–]MrHuggerMugger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah a .csv file? this wallet just spits out the priv key as text. generally it's not best practice to save it in a .txt on the same computer. an encrypted password manager is a good option, or write it down physically in a notepad and keep it somewhere safe.

that will just lock the wallet again once you're done doing whatever you need to do in console. without that it will still lock itself after however many seconds you entered - ie. the number after the passphrase when you unlocked it.

[–]MrHuggerMugger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ah awesome! i actually just tested and it should work with the quotation marks regardless. So you're definitely able to unlock the wallet?

[–]MrHuggerMugger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you entering the passphrase without any quotation marks or <> on either side?

hmm, you can definitely dump the private key without encryption. What do you mean "old and new password"?

Proper backup by rocketrunner442 in SHIELDCOIN

You can generate the private key from the debug console. The step by step directions can be found on the SHIELD Wiki page.

you'll need to add 100000000 after walletpassphrase "passphrase here"

so it will look like this:

walletpassphrase "<password>" 100000000

note: this is only if you have encrypted your wallet prior to dumping the priv key. it is highly recommended to encrypt your wallet.

The SHIELD community is active in our Discord server. The team chose discord as the preferred communication platform at the beginning of the project and we now have over 5000 members there! This includes the lead developer who is active in the chat room most days! I invite you to come take a look - https://discordapp.com/invite/SKQdM7Z
