Topic: Use same wallet/address on multiple PCs? - page 2. (Read 8531 times)
Yes, but you can't really carry a copy of your wallet. With the plethora of PC remote access software I wouldn't think it'd be a big deal
So if I want to use Bitcoin from multiple device I'd have to actually send the bitcoins between the wallets on the two devices? I'm wondering how that will pan out if I want to use Bitcoin on my smartphone. 
Seems unwieldy to me, since one would expect to model a wallet after a real wallet where an owner has one wallet and carries it in the pocket of the pants he is wearing that day, rather than tying the wallet to a specific pair of pants and then when he drops the pants in the washer, the wallet gets washed as well!

I still have a number of things I'm looking at, but for now my first question is how do I use my bitcoin wallet on multiple PCs? Is there some form of identification that it uses that will allow the bitcoin client to synchronize the wallet between, (for instance) a laptop and a desktop PC?
Thanks!
Thanks!
No. There's no identification system built-in the bitcoin network other than your public and private keys.
Hello. I'n new (as if you can't tell from my post count )
Saw the Bitcoin discussion on /. yesterday and am quite intrigued. We're writing a game and for the first version many of the players have asked for other payment alternatives apart from our credit card processor and Paypal. Maybe Bitcoin will fit the bill, I'm not sure yet.
