Cautions using the Encompass client:
1. The client does not check for Proof of Work for Darkcoin, like Electrum usually do. The reason is simple, Darkcoin went to so many POW variations since its inception, that nobody has come up with a python implementation to check for it. However, the Encompass client connects to the Electrum-DRK servers, the servers do connect to the official Darkcoin daemons, the Darkcoin daemons
do check for POW. Electrum added this feature as a belt over suspenders type of security, against would-be-evil Electrum-servers. If you are not sure, you can at least trust the server "
electrum.darkcointalk.org" provided by
Propulsion. Mine is "drk1.electrum-servers.us". I know that Vertoe was also planning to set one up, which is currently live in IRC, but for an unknown reason, it doesn't show on the list of servers within the client - maybe Vertoe could fix that when back from the Berlin pub crawl...
2. PLEASE provide a password when you first create your wallet (after the seed instructions). The same seed is used for all the coins in the wallet. It is a multi-coins wallet - if your wallet is un-encrypted - you risk loosing them all!
3. Most Electrum plugins are disabled at the moment. Encompass needs to do more tests on them to "enabled" them. That means Trezor is not supported yet (although the code is there, and DRK is supported by Trezor), same applies to many others plugings which are present in Electrum 2.0.
