Title: Re: I did it! Post by: The 4ner on September 28, 2014, 03:03:02 PM Why you do it? you will need to update every day, and that will take some time. Because the Bitcoin-Qt wallet is the most secure. Eventually they will have to implement a feature like in the Electrum wallet where download of the entire chain isn't necessary. Title: Re: I did it!

Title: Re: I did it! Post by: manselr on November 30, 2014, 05:12:26 PM I had a format C: recently so I need to download it again, it's a nightmare but this time I saved the entire Bitcoin folder with the blockchain and everything. I hope that when i try to use the already downloaded blockchain I don't get it corrupted as it has happened everytime I tried to use my backup downloaded blockchain. I hate this thing but im paranoid about using anything that isnt the Bitcoin Core.
Title: Re: I did it! Post by: Lethn on November 30, 2014, 05:22:32 PM As long as you have your wallet DAT file backed up somewhere you aren't formatting it should be fine, I made a thread on this issue because I'm going to be doing a format tomorrow as well and wanted to double check things.
