Can you restore BTS holdings, assets and shares just by the private key for that account?

Yes, just rescan after importing.

I've been working on a new electronic cash system that's fully peer-to-peer, with no trusted third party. - Satoshi

I have multiple accounts in one wallet and backed up their private keys, this is sure way to restore the account.

It's fine to have multiple accounts in a wallet. In the past, account keys were not generated deterministically so you would have had to back it up after every account. But I think that was fixed. In any case, just back up your wallet after you make all the accounts you want and you will definitely be safe.

So how many accounts would be safe on one wallet and is there a way to remove that account and maybe import it on its own wallet if not could it just be removed??

I know more accounts makes it slower to scan. I'd like to see some quantitative details on this.

I don't know whether or not it makes restoring a wallet a lot harder.

I think I saw somewhere on this forum something about having multiple accounts on the same wallet makes restoring a wallet a lot harder, and sometimes even impossible. Is this still the case? Should I only have 1 account on the BTS client?
