Title: Electrum restore try Post by: BitcoinSupremo on May 31, 2016, 07:22:38 PM My monitor broke down, so I cannot access my PC for the moment for a few days until I buy a new one. I have the seed of electrum 2.5.4 and have the same version of the 2.5.4 installed in my laptop, I am restoring through the seed but its taking quite a while. Is this normal and is a problem to have the same wallet in 2 different PC ?
Fast answer is greatly appreciated. Edit: Everything went perfect now. Is it a problem to have same wallet in 2 different places ?

They will both automatically derive the same addresses.

Is it a problem to have same wallet in 2 different places ? To answer your last question: it's not a real problem to have your wallet in 2 different places. I do this all the time (i have one wallet at home, and the same one at work), the only problem is you'll have to sync your labels once in a while (well, at least that's my experience with this).

Yes I restored from the seed and they have the same addresses , it is syncing well in my Laptop running Linux Mint latest version, with latest updates, the problem is I have to check my PC after a few days how long it will take to sync there, but I guess it will be no problem keeping same wallet in different places, thanks for your help. My PC is running another debian based linux, not Ubuntu. Title: Re: Electrum restore try Post by: racezefi on June 02, 2016, 10:36:50 AM Is it a problem to have same wallet in 2 different places ?

My PC is running another debian based linux, not Ubuntu. Since Electrum is an SPV node, it takes about 5 minutes to download the full headers for the blockchain on a decent connection. On a terrible connection it took me once about 30 minutes, that's tops, and from scratch, not an update. An update should take seconds. |
