how to change between TITAN &NON TITAN?

[Tuck Fheman]

$   enable_raw

$    blockchain_get_account

"type": "titan_account",

+5% thanks for the tip!

Well, that confirms it.. unfortunately this is yet another example of outdated documention, as I am pretty sure about having done the necessary research and reading that TITAN would be there by default.


At this point I can no longer assume any documentation in our wiki is correct. This is cause for concern, since few amongst us actually have the time to go through the source code digging for how stuff works (and even fewer could actually do that).



Could someone knowledgeable on this topic explain:

- Whether my privacy has been completely compromised - ie, can anyone get the current balance and complete past history of my accounts

- Whether it is possible to convert the account to TITAN, and if yes, how to do so.

- The consequences of switching to TITAN at this point (ie, the privacy implications of doing so)


Thanks..

Ouch... :-[

Would you know how to confirm which account type it is, from the console?

So the default account type is TITAN, when created from the GUI, yes?

At least it's the default in the CLI:

account_type (string, optional, defaults to "titan_account"):

but it seams that the web_wallet (GUI) uses public accounts as (fixed) default:

I agree with arhag .. we need memos for public accounts too ... that way btc38 can proof solvency and let costumers tranfser funds to a NONTITAN account

had updated the code let no-titan account can received memo ?

Public accounts can receive encrypted memos.  The wallets support this already.

OMG
public accounts do not receive memos and all payments are made to the active key
&blockchain_get_account_public_balance  can show the balance

Yup  :(

Although it seems wrong to me that public accounts do not receive memos. There is no reason this has to be the case (encrypted memos are doable with transfers to public accounts without requiring the public account to scan the blockchain). Can I get confirmation from devs on this?

[sudo]

GUI create new account that is  public_accoun   
consolo  create new account that is    ttitan_account
