Guys, is this the right place to post a question about moving Swing UI Wallet from one PC to another? I know it is used for zencash, although I am using it for another coin.
How can I help? Please explain, what problems do you have with Swing wallet?

Hello, I am using the java based Swing Wallet UI for the first time, running it through the .jar file.
I want to transfer the wallet to another PC eventually though, what is necessary? I assume I only need to export the private key from old wallet and import into the new, or? Thanks in advance.

Wallet.dat can be found here:
for Win c:\users\"user"\AppData\Roaming\Zen
for Linux  /appdata/roaming/Zen is ~/.zen
for  Mac /appdata/roaming/Zen is  ~/Library/Application Support/

Copy this wallet.dat file. on safe location!
Then try to paste this wallet on the other PC.
Be very careful if you paste this file over existing wallet with funds, you will lose access to those funds..


Other way is importing of private keys..


Hey,

So I have:

PC 1 with Swing UI wallet with funds
PC 2 with Swing UI wallet with 0 funds

In order to move the wallet and the existing funds to PC 2, I can:

1. Export private key from PC 1 and import to PC 2
or
2. Copy the .dat file as you guys advised.

These are the two options and both of them will allow me to have the wallet on both of the PCs, right?
