Title: Wallets from mac to pc, can you encrypt and move them? Post by: 2bfree on January 16, 2014, 07:31:22 PM Is there a guide somewhere how I can move all my Mac altcoin wallets and move them to windows (and encrypt them first)??

I have been searching for that file on my mac and can't find it there is a .app file which is the wallet but where does it make and store the wallet.dat file?

Just use private keys Code: dumpprivkey <address here> ^ Copy that key Open on new machine Code: importprivkey <priv key you copied> <label> Remove all the < and > obviously Title: Re: Wallets from mac to pc, can you encrypt and move them?

Open Finder, choose Go -> Go to Folder (Command+Shift+G) then enter Code: ~/Library/Application Support/ Inside of that folder you will find a folder for each of your clients, e.g. Bitcoin (~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/). In that particular folder you find your desired wallet.dat. Title: Re: Wallets from mac to pc, can you encrypt and move them?

Thank you @instacash, I see the problem i don't have bitcoin-qt i have one of the other wallets but for example for fathercoin i see wallet.dat It's now a problem dealing with all of them all over the place there are so many.
