Wallets from mac to pc, can you encrypt and move them?

[2bfree]

Is there a guide somewhere how I can move all my Mac altcoin wallets and move them to windows (and encrypt them first)??

Copy the wallet.dat and that's it, all you need is your private key which is in the wallets.

I have been searching for that file on my mac and can't find it there is a .app file which is the wallet but where does it make and store the wallet.dat file?

You can do this in the console, as well, if you can't locate the %appdata% folder on mac

Just use private keys

Code:

dumpprivkey <address here>

^ Copy that key

Open on new machine

Code:

importprivkey <priv key you copied> <label>

Remove all the < and > obviously

Open Finder, choose Go -> Go to Folder (Command+Shift+G) then enter

Code:

~/Library/Application Support/

Inside of that folder you will find a folder for each of your clients, e.g. Bitcoin (~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/). In that particular folder you find your desired wallet.dat.
