camosoul for the love of dog run a dumprivkey on whatever you have left...
I believe he got everything back
I hope so, all the more reason to backup now to paper, and so should everyone else.
Plus, as we've seen it isn't enough to have backups, you need to verify them each time too if possible - I know it's a pain in the arse but it saves grief down the road.
Nobody takes backups seriously until it's too late and they're screwed.
A newbie question - how do you back up to paper? Is the private key stored in plain text? Or is there any app to get it out of wallet.dat?
I have a few digital backups but would not mind the paper as well
This is Backup.
To make it quick and easy, type 'dumpprivkey <public address that is in your wallet>' in the wallets' console, and write down (copy paste to a text editor, public and the according private key) both.
Then print it out, twice, and store each in a different physical location.
Fresh paper wallet.
The nice way would be to grab the DRK address generator, go offline, open the file in web browser, generate new wallet (with qr code, and nice layout), print that out and distribute the your coins across these 'new and fresh' paper wallets. So the coins are nowhere online, just on the papers' cold storage address.
