Topic: Restore paper wallet on another computer with BIP148? (Read 319 times)
There should be no problems in doing this.
I'm still wrapping my brain around the BIP148 scenario but from everything I'm gathering one of the best scenarios is to have two copies of bitcoin running where one is Core and the other is Core/USAF. Currently my laptop has Bitcoin Core and Armory and I don't think I have enough room for another blockchain. As a result, is it possible to set up a fresh copy of bitcoin USAF and Armory on another computer and then restore the same wallet from my paper backup? I have no plans on transacting bitcoin from Aug 1st until there is a clear path so I assume that I'm ok in any event as long as I have the paper backup (since I could theoretically keep things running as is and then switch to USAF if/when BIP148 becomes the consensus and armory would still behave like nothing happened)?
I guess in short my assumption is that the paper backup can be restored onto a system running Core or Core/USAF at any point in the future and it shouldn't cause any problems provided I didn't transact anything between August 1st and whatever time the wallet is restored?
