Title: Make your own MPEx database copy. Post by: MPOE-PR on October 26, 2012, 11:22:27 PM That's right. Go to http://polimedia.us/bitcoin/db_dump.php and save the dump somewhere. There's enough info there to reconstruct ownership of all coins and all assets in case of catastrophe (such as the Internet no longer existing, for instance).
Title: Re: Make your own MPEx database copy. Post by: smickles on October 26, 2012, 11:45:12 PM Good deal. I assume part of the disaster plan would be to release the key. Is this the MPEx key which signs the STATs and such?

Create a new GPG key on a machine that never connects to the Internet. Do not advertise this key anywhere, do not register it with gribble, do not use it anywhere at all. - http://polimedia.us/bitcoin/faq.html#18Title: Re: Make your own MPEx database copy.
