Title: Electrum why backup wallet? Post by: opentoe on March 17, 2013, 09:11:22 PM I have a question about why you backup your wallet with Electrum when all you need are your seed words to restore your wallet?
Computer crashes. All is lost. I do have my seed words. I setup new computer. Install Electrum and enter my seed words in. My wallet is restored. I don't need to restore my wallet from a backup, right? Thanks Title: Re: Electrum why backup wallet?

Also if you forget your seed you can take it from your electrum.dat (even if it is encrypted), you just need to decrypt it running a new electrum instance and enter your password. |
