Hi 2112,
Does it mean that it is possible that if I created a wallet password in a PC which crashed, now in a new PC maybe Bitcoin-qt does not accept the password?
If this is the case, and I don't know the encoding of regedit.exe, what can I do to be sure that I test all the encoding possibilities in the ubuntu's terminal?
Thanks in advanced
Anything is possible, especially in the presence of bugs or various typing-utilities/spelling-checkers/etc. Blind typing into the bitcoin-qt window is a classic failure mode for that, e.g. for Germans:
Kongressstraße vs. Kongreßstraße.
For KGB agents the example would be: Microsoft vs. Microsoft. (For non-KGB-agents: the second "c" is actually a cyrillic "s".)
Edit: Oh, and guys, please don't race into registering the homo-glyph accounts for the Bitcoin luminaries. Registering as "Gavin-non-break-space-Andresen" is not that funny.
Edit2: Fixed the external link.
