Run geth about open-ethereum-pool

[auttasak]

geth --rpc --unlock [wallet address] --cache 1024

[gddrx]

If i currently dont use "--unlock [wallet address" what happends? :(

[Ethash95]

geth --rpcaddr 127.0.0.1 --rpcport 8545 --rpc --unlock [wallet address]

THEN you have to type the passprhase (the password you set when you have created your coinbase address on the server with geth)

if you want to automate the unlock process use

geth --rpcaddr 127.0.0.1 --rpcport 8545 --rpc --unlock [wallet address] --password passwordfile

where passwordfile is a text file containing the password you set when you have created your coinbase address on the server with geth.

[gddrx]

I create new account in geth.After i sync all blockchain, and now its running without "--unlock [wallet address]" - it's not good? :(

[Ethash95]

without unlocking the wallet address the system is not able to process payments

[gddrx]

at this moment i mining on pool 20 hours, so i need restart now with this options? or what i need to do? I dont find any blocks at this moment. Or waiting first block and after restart?

[Ethash95]

stop geth and restart with correct options

[gddrx]

it somehow affect what has already miners worked 20 hours?

[Ethash95]

i dont' think

[gddrx]

Okay, i try, thx.

@Ethash95 can i use console to unlock the address like:personal.unlockAccount(_)

[Ethash95]

you must run geth using the following syntax :
geth --rpcaddr 127.0.0.1 --rpcport 8545 --rpc --unlock [wallet address]

THEN you have to type the passprhase (the password you set when you have created your coinbase address on the server with geth)

if you want to automate the unlock process (to avoid password typing) use

geth --rpcaddr 127.0.0.1 --rpcport 8545 --rpc --unlock [wallet address] --password passwordfile

where passwordfile is a text file containing the password you set when you have created your coinbase address on the server with geth.

If you use a password file, keep in mind anyone that hacks the server will have the wallet password and can drain funds with ease.

@mikeyb @Ethash95 thank you very much,if i don't use pwd file, run geth like: geth --rpc --unlock [wallet address], it will print:
Unlocking account 0xxxxxxxxxxx | Attempt 1/3, and still cannot unlock finally, what wrong?

[Ethash95]

type the password and press enter :)
