Title: You can still rebuild a account/address from a private key after encryption??
Post by: jubalix on April 02, 2013, 04:03:46 AM
I am 95% sure that you can still rebuild a account/address from a private key after encryption of a wallet.dat

but I just want to be absolutely sure! 100%

how can I esnure that my BTC QT - client has the BTC's in a particular address

or how can I dump ALL private keys for all addresses


I REALLY THINK THE QT client MUST UPGRADE TO SHOW ALL HIDDEN ADDRESS IN THE KEY POOL AND ANY AMOUNT AGIASNT ANY ADDRESS

THIS IS CAUSING SO MANY HEADACHES and UNCERTAINTY

Yes but you need the passphrase
You can use pywallet

passphrase....why....?


does encytping wallet do something to the block chain???

I meant  I had taken the private key before I encypted

Oh  OK I didn't think you encrypted beforehand
Then yeah no problem you can import without it
