Title: downloading blockchain before importing wallet.dat in satoshi client? Post by: glub0x on February 15, 2013, 09:43:57 AM Hello, it's all in the question, i got an encrypted wallet.dat file. I know if i just put it in the satoshi client, i'll have to wait for him to download the all blockchain... So my wallet.dat will be exposed (time to dl the 5gb ...).
I'd just like to check it's integrity so basically download the blockchain and THEN put the wallet.dat to only expose it for a few second. Also i would love to do it on my ubuntu livecd but i'm not sure if this is even possible. any idea? Title: Re: downloading blockchain before importing wallet.dat in satoshi client?
