A little how-to save your $Arch

There are some simple and easy ways to save your wallet and privatekey !

Save your wallet

Wallet->File->Backup Wallet-> Save

Save your wallet.dat on any device or storage you want (usb, cloud etc.)

Privatkey

this unlocks your wallet if you have locked it, you should always lock you wallet but dont forget without a unlocked wallet there is no staking (unlock with staking only)

-dumpprivkey

-walletlock

Copy your privatkey anywhere you think it is save or save it into a .txt, but be aware whoever gets your privatekey have access to the coins if you dont locked the wallet !

To restore your wallet

Easy paperwallet

- Input your Privatekey here https://www.the-qrcode-generator.com/ and print the QR-Code on a sheet and store it where it is save Cheesy

If you want to be 100% save and you dont want to stake use a real cold wallet !

Download the wallet from the official site and copy it to a source without any internet connection or the best way a new OS.

Send your coins to the new wallet from your hot wallet and dont sync with your cold wallet and connect to the internet, that should be the safest store but always save your wallet.dat and privatkey again.

Overall always have 2 sources of save who are not at the same location and lock your wallet !
