Title: few questions about bitcoin clients
Post by: accord01 on November 08, 2013, 10:18:12 AM
I remember before it used to be that wallet.dat is everything u need to back up your wallet.  What are the files ending in .wallet?

Also, do wallet passphrases apply to the wallet.dat / back up when u load it to a new client?

Thanks

.wallet?  With Bitcoin-Qt?  I thought that was a file from MultiBit?

Yes.
