USING CRYPTO WALLET BACKUP:

1) Unzip and copy the program to a USB memory stick or some form of external storage, e.g. portable hard drive, mobile phone, digital camera, SD card, etc.

2) Run the program.



3) Click the "Find My Wallets!" button to automatically find all your wallets.



4) Drag and drop any other files that you want to back up from Window Explorer to anywhere on the program. They will be added to the backup list. e.g. A Keepass database, etc.

5) Click the "Back Up Files" button.



6) Done! Run it again from another portable storage device so that you have more than 1 backup.

The program minimizes to the taskbar notification area (system tray) so as to not clutter up the taskbar. Just double-click the icon then click the backup button any time you want to create a new backup.

Wallets are backed up in date & time stamped folder names with each wallet (or file) renamed with the full path (as you can see above). This keeps it extremely simple and you can see in the file name where each wallet would be restored to. It also eliminates the need for subfolders so you can see all your wallet files backed up in 1 place without browsing through different folders.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:

• Windows
• .NET 4

No other special requirements.

NOTES:

There is more information in the "readme.txt" file that comes along with the program. The source code is available there as well. So far the source code has been checked out by 1 person here: http://doges.org/index.php/topic,2807.msg14905.html#msg14905.

If anyone else would like to check the source, please do. There are a lot of douches out there, I'm just not one of them. So if someone else could check the source for the sake of those people that don't program and can't read code, it would be appreciated.

This isn't a general backup program though, and it's not designed to backup large amounts of data. It's meant for quickly backing up wallets and perhaps a couple other critical files.

WHY?

I've been meaning to write a very simple and easy to use program to backup my wallet.dat files, and finally got around to it. (Seeing the price of Bitcoin and other crypto dropping was pretty depressing, so I needed to do some coding just to relax.) I backup my wallets to quite a few devices, and it's really a pain in the butt. This just makes it a lot easier.

I wanted something that I could run from a USB stick or other portable storage so that I could have multiple backups without a lot of the fuss and pain of using some crazy massive backup "solution".

Hopefully that will save someone some pain down the road.

UPDATE 2014-03-29: v1.1 adds in testnet wallet.dat and CONF file backups.

Search on Github. It's there.

Oh... I forget the 100,000,000,000,000 instamine. Can't forget that.

Well... It would be mined at 85,000,000 per month until Janet Yelller took over the FED then it would be 129.000.000 per month.

Kind of a pointless coin.

If you want shit, just get USD.

Any faucets or anything to help encourage those that don't have several MH/s of power?

Will it? Who knows?

Could it? Yes.

Is that likely? No. Or at least not until the US begins to hyperinflate the USD and you can finally buy a sandwich for either Ð5 or $10,000. That's more likely. 

Mined for 2 hours. Didn't get 1 doge.

Agreed. I'm not really worried much, but I would like to know. That's the important thing. If QRK goes dark for a day while a server is slotted in or something like that... well, that's just normal maintenance. It's the lack of communication which freaks people out - me included.

Lots of complaints on Twitter as well.

So, logging in to Cryptsy and...



Huh?

What happened there. They don't show up in balances either.

They were there earlier today.

Ðitto.

Apple is openly abusive to their developers and customers. They regularly censor applications for no other reason than they could potentially compete with Apple. They're anti-competitive and monopolistic.

In one case, Apple took down an app then replaced it with one of their own. It was purely malicious and greedy on their part. They have no excuses.

Crypto currency is an extension from crypto-anarchism, where freedom and liberty are highly valued. Apple consistently acts in bad faith, which is a problem for people who lean towards thinking freedom is a good thing and that contracts should be honoured.

So, that's why you're getting a bit of flak.

While Google is no poster-child for liberty, at least Android's source code is open and the platform offers infinitely more freedom than iOS. I'm not saying that Android is perfect, but it's far more aligned with the principles of openness, transparency, and liberty than iOS is.

If you get a Ðogecoin wallet, then post in one of the Ðogecoin threads, I'm pretty sure someone will tip you to run it.

Stop being all sad and impatient! It's only 2 years away!

Thankfully crypto currencies are voluntary, and nobody is forced to participate.

Also, that someone doesn't like them doesn't stop others from using them.

So, hate dogecoin all you want. You're not going to deter people who enjoy them.

That was awesome!

I totally would have donated if you'd have said you'd be buying an Android.

But crApple? Nope. I will never give another single Ðoge to those wankers. They censor bitcoin apps. F* 'em and their walled garden.

The Samsung Note is an Android device, and really darn sexy too.

And all the poo-poo'ers will complain about it being fun... F* 'em. This is a wild ride!
