Few Rules with bitcoin wallet you should never forget!

in #bitcoin8 years ago (edited)

 Here are some things I have learned that should probably be common knowledge for anyone using Bitcoin.

  • Keep a backup, don’t ever delete a wallet.dat file unless you are sure that your backup is up to date
  • Be aware that a transaction can result in change that will go to a newly created address in your wallet.dat.
  • Encrypting your wallet will reset the 100 pre-generated addresses that are used for change and new addresses.
  • Don’t make transactions while waiting for the blockchain to sync.
  • If a wallet for some reason does not contain an expected transaction or address dump the data with pywalletand search for any relevant information.

Keep your Bitcoins safe everyone!
