Do I have to back up again after making any transaction? (ie. Bitcoin-qt client auto create change address after making transaction so you have to back up the wallet again)
keypool=aBigNumber
No need to copy and paste the key... just send it to your account name. Be sure to vote for some delegates first

I just exported & backed up my wallet. I then imported my protoshares. Does the importing automatically move those PTS BTSX to an address that is controlled by my BTSX deterministic wallet?Or does importing the PTS wallet just copy the PTS addresses into my BTSX wallet? In that case would I have to re-backup my BTSX wallet?I really want to get this right...Importing just loads the keys, you have to make a transfer to move the funds.Thanks BM. So should I copy-paste my Account Key from the Advanced tab as a new contact named "Me" and send the funds to that address?

The problem is that due to the nature of TITAN, we currently must scan every transaction with every key you own to check if you've received anything. This scanning is slow.
I feel auto backups should be made once a new account is created. Newbies wont create backups and when there comp crashes and needs reformatting they are SOL.

I assume at some point we might be able to ignore names in the wallet so they wouldn't require crypto-calculations 0, but there are tons of things like this that need to be done. For now don't have create many accounts unless you really know what you're doing.

wallet must be open to execute this command. You can:(o) Open an existing wallet(c) Create a new wallet(q) Abort commandCommand aborted
>> (c)Error: invalid command "(c)"
Try c without parentheses.
>> cError: invalid command "c"

is it safe to change the password from the win gui console from time to time ?
How deterministic are we talking here? I created two wallets on two machines (one to use and one delegate server) with the same pass phrase (strong). Are these two machines effectively running the same wallet?
