Title: Re: Bitcoin wallet Encryption Post by: netrikare on April 18, 2013, 03:15:18 PM Hello,
actually only private keys that are stored in your wallet.dat file are encrypte. Your public key (which is your address to receive payments) is not encrypted. When new transaction arrives form network, bitcoin client checks if it is for your public key (address) and modifies your balance accordingly. As for second question - yes :) Title: Re: Bitcoin wallet Encryption Post by: netrikare on April 18, 2013, 03:19:35 PM Correct. You only need it to spend them.
Title: Re: Bitcoin wallet Encryption Post by: shcnard on April 18, 2013, 07:33:51 PM I believe you just need to copy the wallet.dat file to a USB key and then delete it from your hard drive.
Location of the wallet.dat file is OS specific. |
