Also alfmad, you will need to make a new copy of the wallet.dat after using the wallet a few times even if you don't create any new wallet addresses yourself.  And by using the wallet I mean sending funds plus also yes every time you create a new wallet address.  As if FairCoin wallet is the same as Bitcoin one it creates a new change address after every 100 outgoing transactions iirc.  You could also back your wallet.dat up in the cloud once you have encrypted your wallet.  Like in a free Dropbox, Google Drive or SpiderOak account.  In case your USB stick is ever lost or damaged.


Uhhh, what ?? Is this true Huh

if yes then this is completely new to me.
I was under the impression that a backup of the wallet.dat file is a backup that can ALWAYS be restored.
But now I understand that you have to make regular copies (Huh)
Can you please explain why this is so ? And if I just have my initial backup, what will happen if I restore after I've done alot of transactions ?
