Thanks! In mine it's install-dir/resources/app/Sia/ and then what you had. In /Sia/wallet I have wallet.json, wallet.log, and Sia Wallet Encrypted Backup Seed-____________.Seed. Do I need to backup all 3? All they all encrypted or just the Encrypted Backup Seed? I don't want to store unencrypted backups.

In addition I was wondering how to check my siafunds address? I have a SiafundAddress_Key0.siakey file but when I open it in text edit it's all gibberish.

Thanks!

The wallet.json and the encrypted backup seed are both encrypted, you can't open them without the password. Just backing up the wallet.json is enough, at this point I'm forgetting why there is the 'Sia Wallet Encrypted Backup Seed', I was using it personally at some point but now I don't remember what it was good for.

To check your siafunds, you should import the siakey into the wallet, and then restart 'siad'. The wallet should then be able to display your siafunds balance.

I think the 'Sia Wallet Encrypted Backup Seed' appears when you make a new wallet so you can copy down the seed. Because when the wallet first opens you don't know what seed is being used for your list of addresses. Once I make a new wallet though do all my addresses come from that seed that I was able to copy down?

If I import the siakey into my wallet are my siafunds wiped from my siakey and imported into the seed addresses? I'm worried if that's so, I won't always have my siakey to back up and if something happened with my wallet that my siafunds would be forever lost.

Thanks for the help!
