Title: How hard is it to complie a wallet if you have the backup Post by: BitCoinNutJob on February 10, 2014, 03:19:46 AM Having troubles with my laptop right now but my wallet is backed up (after i've encrypted it) on a flash drive. If my laptop blows up what skill level is needed to compile the backup of my wallet from the flash drive on a new computer?
