Title: How do I see my wallet as numbers? Post by: balletdoll on June 16, 2011, 01:32:50 AM I remember reading that I could, if i wanted to, memorize my wallet somehow(i know it would be hard). How do i make it so that i can see the stuff i would have to memorize? when i open wallet.dat it just looks all crazy with squares and random stuff. Does anybody know?

For some reading about bringing the wallet.dat out of the digital world, I suggest you take a look at this article : http://bitcoinmagazine.net/brain-wallets-the-what-and-the-how/ No need to hex edit your wallet.dat as it contains a lot more stuff then your privatekeys. ;) Title: Re: How do I see my wallet as numbers?

I've never given much thought to anything above hexadecimal. |
