I just downloaded blackcoin-qt from blackcoin.co. then I sent my blackcoins from mintpal to that wallet. now what? are they safe? I don't know what a qt or blockchain is...all I see is the wallet window that shows balance/stake/unconfirmed on the left in a box and recent transactions on the right. Is that it?
Also how do you backup the wallet? I clicked the backup button from the drop down and found it in my "downloads" file on my computer. I just see some file name like blackcoinwallet.dat that I can't open. What am I supposed to do with that?
when you want recover you just rename blackcoinwallet.dat > wallet.dat // leave it in main roamin folder and rdy
blackcoinwallet.dat - cannot be opened ^^ just like that this file is readable only by blackcoin client ^^.
bun it on CD or USB whatewer you want to backup it.
I appreciate the response! Is there any chance (my most common request here) you can explain it to me like I'm 5?
I literally feel like I'm reading a foreign language. What is /roaming/blackcoin/wallet.dat? What do you mean by main roamin folder and rdy?
So I just want to get that backup .dat file I downloaded from the wallet to my computer onto a disk? And then say my computer crashes and burns...then I can use that backup on a new computer to get my coins?
