Topic: Securing My Bitcoin Wallet (Read 556 times)
I sent a few Bitcoins to my wife's wallet. I then encrypted my wallet with GPG and stored a copy in a secure location.
I then opened my Bitcoin client and of course a new empty wallet was made. I then transferred the Bitcoins I stored on my wife's computer back to my wallet. I did discover I now have a new address and the old one won't work. I lost .001 Bitcoin testing but I'm guessing I'll get that back when I open my saved wallet.
This worked for me and I hope it'll help someone else.
