All files created by Bitcoin Core in the datadir are the same format regardless of OS.Title: Re: move wallet.dat from ubuntu to macos Post by: Decoded on September 28, 2016, 11:20:37 PM I would expect so. Bitcoin is meant to follow the same protocol over all platforms. I'm pretty sure that a wallet.dat is a plaintext file that is in some cases encrypted (Dont quote me on that). They both are built on UNIX, anyways :)

I'm pretty sure that a wallet.dat is a plaintext file that is in some cases encrypted (Dont quote me on that). I am quoting you and that is not true ;DThe wallet.dat file is a Berkeley DB file. The encryption is that some of the entries (your privkeys and some other stuff) are encrypted, so the file itself isn't actually encrypted. They both are built on UNIX, anyways :) Not originally. Originally Bitcoin was actually a Windows only software when Satoshi release 0.1. |
