Cant anyone help me understand the Devcoin wallet? How does one get it back if their computer fails them? When I created a wallet here http://devcoin.org/devcoin-wallet.html it never gave me the ability to create a passphrase or password or even if this is the public or private wallet. I have been searching for devcoin useability but it seems like its pretty technical and not as easy as other coins. Been on devtome.com as well and kind of hard to find anything there as well. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi orimar.

You can find a great HOWTO about the DevCoin wallet from a post of cpol a while ago. Here is the link:

https://steemit.com/busy/@cpol/how-to-compile-your-very-own-devcoin-wallet-in-ubuntu-18-04

Just like a BTC wallet you would want to backup wallet.dat which is normally in a hidden folder in the home directory. On Linux it would be .devcoin

Hope that helps.

I am not sure how to check the wallet.dat file on a mac. also the mac GUI wallet gave me an address.

Thanks! this seems to be for Linux OS? I have a mac OS and I can't seem to find anything online as to help me with it. I have the wallet installed and have an address. so i moved my dev coin to this address and my wallet doesnt show the transaction but a search on the blockexplorer shows the coins there. I think something is wrong with the wallet interface as it looks a bit "out dated".

Yes the HOWTO of cpol takes place on the Ubuntu release of Linux. Best to double check that your new installation uses the same receiving keys (wallet.dat) as you used when sending the coins.

How does this help me on the mac os side? I cannot find my wallet.dat file. the GUI mac oS gave me a address.
