I have created a paper wallet and I've used that address to receive my mining pool coins.

I am also using the windows-qt wallet. I entered the address generated by the paper wallet and everything seems good.

All my mining coins appear on the wallet-qt program.

I have also encrypted my wallet with a passphrase.

My question is, what if my windows get corrupted and i need to do a clean install and i did not back up my wallet.dat file.
However, the paper wallet (the address and private key) is safe as I backed up in a usb drive.

What happens to my coins then?
Will I still get the coins once I install the windows-qt program and just enter the same public address?

thank you.

Hi, can you please advise me? Windows qt-wallet works well, I receive the coin from the pool at my address. I generated a paper wallet, but I can not import it into windows-qt wallet ... Is it possible to do it? I'm desperate :-D Sry for my English.

With public address generated from the paper wallet, got "Receive" --> "New Address" and copy paste the public address there. Click OK, and that's it. Then go to your mining pool., use that same address in payout of your mining pool. Choose minimum payout and that's it.

Hello, thanks for your reply, but I can not. That's what I'm trying to do all the time, but that window is not active so I can put something in there.

In your wallet, go to the console and import the private key from your paper wallet

Code:

importprivkey [label] [rescan=true]

Thank you very much Wink
