Re: [ANN] BlackCoin (BC) | on exchanges | PoS

hey guys i am holden a large amount bc. how i can save this 100% safe?
any ideas?

do you think this site is serious? http://paperwallet.ga/BlackCoin/

just save your wallet.dat on an usb stick, and/or on another pc so if your pc crashes you still have your coins

you do not want this file (wallet.dat) on an computer connected to the internet or it could be compromised!!

is there specific, for a newbie, steps on how to get it off? I have saved that file to usb sticks, but don't know what to do now.

Mac? PC? Linux? You need to find the directory that holds the original wallet.dat file to remove it. This is the exact same process for a Bitcoin wallet when using the Qt client. There are plenty of tutorials out there to access your wallet file for the Bitcoin-Qt. Same procedure, same directory, but for BlackCoin-Qt folder

I'm on a Mac. I've actually never had the bitcoin-qt downloaded before (the blackcoin-qt is my first and only). I didn't realize I could find a bitcoin tutorial and have it be the same process as this one. I will go try to dig around!

Since you are on a mac you will need to start by pulling aside the veil...to look into your system files. Here's a link to a tutorial that shows you how to show-all files:

Next, open finder and go the the home "user" tab... you should see a greyed out "Library" folder. Look inside, find "Application Support." Inside you will find the "BlackCoin-Qt" folder which contains your wallet.dat file. If you were backing up a Bitcoin wallet I would suggest saving the blockchain too (because its a huge file - 17+ gbs - and its a pain in the ass to download).
BUT, since you are dealing with BlackCoin the blockchain is new and very small. So, just worry about wiping your computer of that "wallet.dat" file Wink

Best of luck to you and your stash of coin!

thank you so so so much!!!
