Ok,

After some various attacks against my setup...........this solution should work for at least a little while......


You should probably use at least a VPN for this Tutorial


IPFS Client to upload Encrypted Wallet.dat

https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-desktop/releases


Nexus.io

Create Nexus Username/Login

You will need a couple coins as making a address have a name is 1 Nexus around .30 cents currently, this is where the CID download link will be stored for Tidecoin Wallet.dat file............


Honestly it's just a lot easier to use Nexus Address for the password Generation for the Wallet.dat Encryption also, just add some easy random Characters to the Nexus Address to make it "Quantum" Secure for future........CTRL V to paste


This is how to Encrypt Your Tidecoin Wallet.dat file........Backup to Home Folder OpenSSL only works under the home folder by default..........this is where the renamed TIDE.dat is REQUIRED to be located........there will be an error if it's not correct before asking for encryption password 2 times.................

Open Command Line Terminal

ALT+CTRL T

openssl enc -e -pbkdf2 -chacha20 -md sha512 -in /home/Computer-Name-Here/TIDE.dat -out /home/Computer-Name-Here/TIDE.dat.enc


RandomNexusAddressPassword


openssl enc -d -pbkdf2 -chacha20 -md sha512 -in /home/Computer-Name-Here/TIDE.dat.enc -out /home/Computer-Name-Here/TIDE.dat



In fact it would be good to Create a Nexus Address with these OpenSSL Instructions saved also just switch the -d and -e for decrypt and encryption.........................


So Nexus is the keystone, Either use Namecoin Password/Pin or Memorize your login.........



Anything uploaded to IPFS should be encrypted using OpenSSL



Using this method should last you a Lifetime and IPFS uses Sha-256 CID Hashes so it's something to keep in mind, but as long as you keep your CID private it might be left alone...........


This is the Only method that I have a high confidence in backing up Physical Wallet.dat files

Nexus is a good place to store XMR Monero Seed Phrases ect............but it costs 1 Nexus each backup

It's probably best to learn this now as Nexus is cheap doing this later might cost a lot more as it will always cost 1 Nexus.....
