The private keys all remain encrypted. Ive never used the qt befor as i use the blockchain.info wallets,So Will i be asked to enter the Passphrase Upon Withdrawals? Yes. Anytime the wallet needs to access an existing private key, or create a new private key, it will require you to enter your password. The password. This will allow the wallet to decrypt the necessary private keys or encrypt the new private key.

There's no reason for you to ever decrypt your wallet, as that would pointlessly decrease security. |
