Hi dudes.

I've got some computers... and i want to see my wallets (bitcoin, litecoin, feathercoin, etc...) on all those computers.

So, i've to sync all the wallet.dat files (dropbox or with a pendrive), or i can just copy and paste them and connect wherever whenever i want??

ahm that Rescan must be done always? so it maybe would be better to syncronize all the wallets?  Undecided

2 Things:

First, wallet.dat is where you store personal info, mostly your private keys. A wallet.dat of BTC is different from a LTC wallet.dat, watch out!

Second, a simple rescan on a already synced computer(by synced means that it have the whole blockchain) should do the trick.

Apart from labels and useless data like transactions, how is it different?

Okay, yes, there's the info of the wallet and all the addresses... but that's no info about movements? i mean, if i copy my wallet.dat, i use it on a computer where i get synced some incoming bitcoins, and later i use an older wallet.dat file without those bitcoins... i could lose it or it could happens something "bad"? or it just can get my real-time BTC wallet by syncing the client?

You won't lose anything
The point of -rescan is to sync all the incoming bitcoins

Some of alts have a bit of difference, like a LTC address starts with L, not 1.

Exactly my point: a wallet doesn't contain the leading byte

And the private key will stay the same?
