Quote from: dumdumdum on July 24, 2012, 04:02 pmHi,Im going to be reformatting my computer over the next couple of days and was wondering if anyone could answer a couple of my questions???How would i go about keeping my PGP keyandkeeping my bitcoins that i store on my computer?cheersTo back up your secret key:gpg -a --export-secret-keys -o mysecret.asc 0xDEADBEEF Where 0xDEADBEEF is your key ID. Then copy mysecret.asc to an external device (e.g. a flash drive) to be copied back to the new system and imported back into your keyring.I would advise making a copy of your entire GPG directory (usually ~/.gnupg/ on POSIX systems).To backup your BTC just make a copy of your wallet.dat file. You can do this from within the Bitcoin-qt client.
