Title: my new Multibit address
Post by: pinksheep on March 27, 2014, 04:22:39 PM
I have just added a new Multibit wallet to the 2 I had previously. I have yet to put any BTC in it. My question is do I need to back it up before I have anything in it or does it affect the security of other 2 wallets if I don't back up the 3rd one now? The 3rd one is just for putting a few pennies in to practice sending and bringing back from my paper wallet.

Always save your actual private keys offline

You can backup your wallet, before sending bitcoin to it.

does it affect the security of other 2 wallets if I don't back up the 3rd one now?
Nope.

Good luck and no the other two wallets shouldn't effect throne that u just did. You should be fine just be careful. And you should always back up a wallet that has coins in it

They are available to hackers who want to steal them.
