Title: Question about Wallets and updating Post by: Zhukov0 on July 19, 2013, 12:53:51 PM Hi dudes.
I've got some computers... and i want to see my wallets (bitcoin, litecoin, feathercoin, etc...) on all those computers. So, i've to sync all the wallet.dat files (dropbox or with a pendrive), or i can just copy and paste them and connect wherever whenever i want??

Just don't forget to bitcoin-qt -rescan Title: Re: Question about Wallets and updating Post by: Zhukov0 on July 23, 2013, 07:00:38 PM Copy/paste them wherever and whenever you want. Just don't forget to bitcoin-qt -rescan ahm that Rescan must be done always? so it maybe would be better to syncronize all the wallets? :-\ Title: Re: Question about Wallets and updating Post by: jackjack on July 23, 2013, 07:31:44 PM I'm not sure, give it a try

First, wallet.dat is where you store personal info, mostly your private keys. A wallet.dat of BTC is different from a LTC wallet.dat, watch out! Second, a simple rescan on a already synced computer(by synced means that it have the whole blockchain) should do the trick.

Okay, yes, there's the info of the wallet and all the addresses... but that's no info about movements? i mean, if i copy my wallet.dat, i use it on a computer where i get synced some incoming bitcoins, and later i use an older wallet.dat file without those bitcoins... i could lose it or it could happens something "bad"? or it just can get my real-time BTC wallet by syncing the client?

The point of -rescan is to sync all the incoming bitcoins Title: Re: Question about Wallets and updating Post by: Zhukov0 on July 23, 2013, 09:13:37 PM You won't lose anything The point of -rescan is to sync all the incoming bitcoins great! :D but teorically that rescan is not done when the client starts?

I don't know for altcoins Title: Re: Question about Wallets and updating Post by: DarkHyudrA on July 23, 2013, 09:26:16 PM 2 Things: Apart from labels and useless data like transactions, how is it different?First, wallet.dat is where you store personal info, mostly your private keys.

Some of alts have a bit of difference, like a LTC address starts with L, not 1.

Exactly my point: a wallet doesn't contain the leading byte Title: Re: Question about Wallets and updating Post by: DarkHyudrA on July 23, 2013, 09:52:45 PM 2 Things: Apart from labels and useless data like transactions, how is it different?First, wallet.dat is where you store personal info, mostly your private keys.
