The quickest, safest, and easiest way to make sure you backup all you need is to follow these simple steps:

0) Make sure your wallet is encrypted!  This should have already been done anyway so it's step 0 .

1) Shut down your client

2) Find your wallet.dat file (in %AppData%/Protoshares or /home/<user>/.protoshares)

3) Copy your wallet.dat to another location and called it pts_wallet.dat or something similar so you don't confuse it with your XYZcoin.dat wallets.  For example I have pts_wallet.dat, ftc_wallet.dat, ltc_wallet.dat, btc_wallet.dat, etc. etc.).

4) Put the USB stick or whatever you copied it to in another physical location (in a drawer at work and/or home, your garage, etc.).  Somewhere that can be accessed if one location burns to the ground, gets wiped out by a plague of locus, etc.

5) Restart the client.

6) Rinse and repeat about every 100 transactions to make sure your backups have all your latest change address key pairs.

Depending on your level of trust in online storage solutions you could rename the pts_wallet.dat file to something like mittens.jpg and put it in the pictures folder of your Google Drive or other service.  Since it's encrypted it's reasonable safe from theft (though technically not totally safe) and renaming the file would save you from quick scans by someone who hacks an online storage site and scans for wallet.dat files.

The wallets are really really small.  On most $10 USB sticks now you could even back up the entire blockchain if you wanted to save yourself the time of downloading it again in the future but it's not required.  Your wallet.dat file is like your SIM card in your phone.  Everything else is generic software.

Thanks for update. What if one person own two Keyhotee IDs, is it OK if he use the same identity?

This actually raised another question in my mind. If I have another persons information, what's stopping me from posing as someone else through Keyhotee? I mean like if I had my friends License and Passport/Social Insurance number and created a Keyhotee ID under his name? This would be easily done since you are aloud to have multiple identities.

No worry about this. The personal info. is just for strengthen your brain wallet security, will not be shared to anyone else, it's just in your wallet data. No one can see it and you could not show it to anyone, and even you could show it means nothing... In my mind, the Keyhotee ID is a new identity of everyone, no direct relationship to the real world identity and any other identities(e.g. ID on this forum) in the Keyhotee system itself.

But when Keyhotee officially launches you will be able to purchase things online from say Amazon with your Identity, and they see your name and address.

Amazon support is probably a ways out    But you will have control over who sees what and when.

Yes but if I held anothers information and created an ID with it, and bought something using that identity showing their information, it would come up as that person buying that item correct? Sounds a little like identity theft.

That would be a self-signed ID which wouldn't be as authoritative as having a signing authority vouch for you.

Also assuming they took crypto you'd either need access to their private key to pay for it, steal their credit card info, or pay for it yourself.  So you may look like them but it'd be your cash unless you also stole their money.

Hi, I created my identity but forgot to check "register", and now in the contact my profile shows "unregistered" and highlighted as yellow.
any comment on how to solve it? is it a big problem?

Also after a bit of mining mine went from Yellow to Green.  Not sure if that was related.

Your welcome

Thanks donshoe, that's nice and straight forward.  Stupid request - Is it possible to reverse sort it?  The most recent line of the current day has the most useful information for decision making but it's allll the way at the bottom .

What's the rush?  Today, next week, early Q1....as long as it's a quality product I see no benefit in having it tomorrow vs next month.  You only get one chance at a first impression and if Keyhotee has teething issues because it was rushed it could adversely compromise the entire project.

I believe I'm preaching to the choir however as delayed release dates vs buggy releases seems to be the direction I3 has chosen.

Nice clean interface.  Note another LTC reference in the FAQ: Send LTC to Deposit address (must be between the max and min)

Sweet! Keep up the hard work we are all exicted! To be honest I am more excited about
Kehotee ID than the New Year 

but Happy New Year anyway  .  Hope you guys found some time for a few wobbly pops while squashing bugs!

has anyone replied with their public key yet?  I got an email saying I got my 1st choice, but, that's all I've done so far...I've sent nothing...

ADDENDUM: looks like I've missed nothing yet! (12/30@12pm central USA)

Same here.  I think that email was just a heads up for further communication.  The next email I expect will have a download link for software we can use to mine our chosen founder ID's.
