Haha if that were the case this wouldn't work out for long
heh, yeah, your wallet doesn't store your coins, it just examines the blocks to see where they have earmarked for you.
Ok thanks! I figured it wouldn't work.
If this would work, Bitcoin would be dead already ^^
No the 1BTC would be spent. All the transactions are in a public database called the blockchain. Your wallet.dat only contains some bitcoin address with the corresponding private key. The private key let you sign a transaction and once it's been broadcast to the Bitcoin network then it's too late... The bitcoin has been spent.
Hello,
I was thinking about this. So what if you were to make a copy of your wallet with 10 BTC in it and save it to a USB. Then you send 1 BTC to someone else's wallet. The copy of your wallet shows it as having 10BTC so if you were to put it on another computer and use it as the wallet.dat file, wouldn't that account still have 10 BTC even though you just sent 1 BTC to someone so if you did this in between three computers, you could generate free BTC?
