Title: Deleting the wallet Post by: DrakonX on December 06, 2017, 10:53:24 AM Assuming the case, I have a paper wallet, can I safely continue with the dialog shown on the screenshot? Or will I lose all my bitcoins?

Title: Re: Deleting the wallet Post by: DrakonX on December 07, 2017, 04:33:46 PM Well, that means as I don't have a non-watching-only copy left somewhere else, I won't be able to spend the money regardless of having a paper backup that has been created befor I change the wallet to a watching-only one?
Title: Re: Deleting the wallet Post by: gangtraet on December 08, 2017, 02:16:43 PM It means that you will only be able to spend the money using the paper backup.
From the paper backup, you can create a full wallet. You do not need the watch-only wallet for that process.
