Hello,
i downloaded an altcoin software
https://github.com/ethereum/mist/releasesAnd it offered me to create wallet, then invited me to fund it. I sent a few dollars thru Shapeshift.io exchange.
But then blockchain syncing started
And it is around 5 days, 100% HDD usage and i may not be in the middle of the sync!
So my question is if i can withdraw money from my wallet without completing the sync? How? (update: here is the way, go to
https://www.myetherwallet.com/#send-transaction and upload your wallet keystore file located in Win+R , %appdata% , Ethereum\keystore ; in my case Wind10 it is at C:\Users\Me\AppData\Roaming\Ethereum\keystore)
When i open Windows App, it shown no wallets inside
Or if possible how to do some fast sync on the Linux and then transfer downloaded block chain data to my Windows computer?
Windows 10:
C:\Users\Me\AppData\Roaming\Ethereum\chaindata - 010009.ldb ...
C:\Users\Me\AppData\Roaming\Ethereum\keystore - 3 files like: UTC--2016-09-19T11-17-48.380481800Z--someLongPhrasseHere
So far the size of App folder is 20GB :-(
I have some RAM free, but found no configurable option to define higher RAM cache
----
As mentioned, while i was able to Withdraw my wallet just by having keystore file, i can just one-time backup this file and then be able to use/withdraw wallet just having this keystore file right?
