this has always been a solid coin

A seed will recover all public and private keys together, so i have u have for example 10 fct addresses they all will be recoverd including  their private keys,
while a private key recovers only 1 address linked to that key

thank you so much for your time optimusprime and lolikop.
I managed to install the wallet en synced it online(no need to download the blockchain)and put my private key in(from papermill).
Now i see my balance.......GREAT!
I dont know how i can download the full blockchain that doesnt go automatiq in ubuntu?
And a last question......When i use papermill for a private key this is a string of letters and numbers....if i put this in to the wallet i get a 12 words seed?
So what is the diffrence with the private key from papermill and the privatekey from wallet(12words)?
Is it not treu that when you only have the private keys from papermill and you delete your wallet you just download the wallet again and put your privatekey(from papermill)
And you have your balance again?
Is there anybody that can ELI5 for me?

I dont really fully understand what they mean by this.....
Backing up your wallet can protect you from loss of Factoids and Entry Credits. Exporting your seed will back up any addresses generated from this wallet seed, however will not back up any address that were NOT generated from the seed. If you have any balances on addresses not generated from your wallet seed, you may want to move them to an address generated from your seed.

Caution: Importing will replace your current seed but will retain all addresses in your wallet (which will then be shown as addresses not generated from your seed).

EXPORT SEED TO FILE IMPORT FROM FILE
thanks

Search ur fct address in factom explorer ( http://explorer.factom.org/ ) im sure u will be able to see ur factoids

docs for uploading private key into enterprise wallet:  https://docs.factom.com/#import-private-key

Thanks that worked out great just send my first ammount from polo to the paperwallet, still a bit troubled by the fact that I cant see them but I know with my private key I can upload them somehwere. Is it already possible to upload private key into enterprise wallet?

Factom is one of the steady and stable coins with great team and efforts. Seems to be moving slow but once the governments and organisations start using it, it will sky rocket similar to XRP and ETH. It's not just for pump and dumps, it will create a significant change in blockchain industry. As of today FCT seems like moving slowly but the trend is upwards. Hoping to see it reach 50$ soon considering all other unexpected alt-coins jumped so high in no time.

Ans 1- Yes, I usually save both Key and Address for reference. Address can be used on web to check the balance if required.
Ans 2- Yes, On Windows every time I execute factoidpapermill, it generates new address and key. I save the one I am going to use.
Ans 4- I always save the both key and address. That's it.
Ans 6- What matters is the private key and the address. It could be generated from Linux or Windows, doesn't matter. It can be used to import in any valid wallet on any OS.

Consider these as suggestion to help you start. Take necessary precautions to save the key from prying eyes.

hello,i just started to use ubuntu(always used windows)but i cant get the wallet installed.
But i want to get my factoids off the exchange.
So i also have a windows computer that was never online with the program factoidpapermill on it.
I put it on there last year.

1-So if i use this program i see a adress created with a private key......is this the adress where i can send my funds to?And save the private key?
2-Is it true that everytime i start up this program i get a new adress and a new private key......so i can send my factoids to different adresses with different private keys?
3-does it matter that i put this program(factoidpapermill)on my computer 1 year ago?
4-do i only have to save the private key that is given with factoidpapermill?nothing else?
5-When i put only this private key(from the factoidpapermill) in to a wallet(enterprice or exodus)does my adress with the balance then show up?
6-Is it possible that i can use the created private key with papermill in windows........that later on i can use this in to a wallet in ubuntu?

The thing is that i cannot try these things out because i cant get a wallet working.
So its very scary to send the factoids to a created adress from a offline windows machine.
But maybe even scarier to leave them on exchange!
sorry for my bad english and i am a total noob with this.
thanks!

Oh yes, one of the most solid ones, considering fundamentals behind it. I really expect some news from the dev team. There has not been any updates on their blog for some time.

fct is a solid and stable project

Have there been anymore use cases for factom ? I remember that the US gov't signed up for 2 contracts.

Any more news for Major uses ? Any reason for the large increases or is it just because all the alt's are rising

You can. Just press right mouse batton on the window -> select all. Next press second time right mouse botton on the window (or cntrl + c) -> coppy.

I thought it was possible to upload your private key into the enterprise wallet ? wanted to check if it arrived since I cant copy paste from cmd prompt

haha thanks that worked !

Just drag & drop the file into a command prompt and press enter.

What kind or result do you get when you try to open it from a command prompt?

another question about papermil wallet.. how hard can it be right lol 

I decided to transfer to the paper wallet so I downloaded it from factom website but when I double click it it wont open. I saw that for mac and linux this was normal and tried the instructions for those OS and tried to open it in the command promt but also without succes. Does anyone know why? some app missing on my pc or am I missing something here ?

l ve learned ONE thing in cryptosphere that never fall in love with a coin.we all know what happens when your expectation don t met FCT is a great project with huge promising but l DON T really like DEV.

Well, we re all on that road. Cause if this project, which s got a great software product to back it up, will not skyrocket, then I do not know what will.
