Here How To Backup Your VirtaCoin Wallet

You all need to backup your VirtaCoin desktop wallet, because when your computer are broken all your coins will be lost. But you can get your coins or VirtaCoin back if you already backup your VirtaCoin desktop wallet.

So Here 2 Ways How You Can Backup & Restore Your VirtaCoin Desktop Wallet

1. Backup Your VTA Wallet With Your "wallet.dat" File

1. To backup your wallet, you need to make a copy of your " wallet.dat " file and store it on another computer, flash drive, external hard drive, or other storage device. Please store your "wallet.dat" backup in a save place. 

   So to create your backup of your "wallet.dat" backup, go to the top of your wallet and click "File" button, and then click "Backup Wallet".  Then you can name your backup file as "wallet.dat".

   ( WARNING, please name your backup file as " wallet.dat " only...it will not work if you changed your backup file name to others name )

   This is also can be found in your VirtaCoin home folder here:

   • Windows: C:\Users\USER NAME\AppData\Roaming\Virtacoin
   • Mac: /Users/USER NAME/Library/Application Support/Virtacoin
   • Linux: ~/.virtacoin

2. How do I restore a backup of my "wallet.dat" file?

   To restore a backup of your wallet, go to the VirtaCoin home directory (see question above) and delete the "wallet.dat" files in the directory while your wallet is offline. Then, Replace your new "wallet.dat" with your backup " wallet.dat " to the home directory and start up your wallet. After you replace your new wallet.dat with your backup wallet.dat, you will get back all your coins back.

You can find and restore your "wallet.dat" backup here in your VirtaCoin home directory below:

• Windows: C:\Users\USER NAME\AppData\Roaming\Virtacoin

2. Backup Your VTA Wallet With Your "PrivateKey"

As long as you have your private key of the Funded Account, 

you still have all your coins intact.

(Some members reported that they don't received all their coins from their "PrivateKey" after they installed back their PrivateKey backup...SO PLEASE create your "PrivateKey" backup for every addresses you have in your wallet for safety. So each addresses in your wallet should have their own PrivateKey backup)

How To Create Your PrivateKey:

First click on the "help" on the wallet software, then "Debug window", click on the "Console" and at the bottom you will locate a space where you can type. Click inside the box and type this there.........

Type this command:   dumpprivkey "VTA receive address"

for a set period of time so that you can dump the private key

- to unlock:

type:

walletpassphrase "passphrase" 60

This will unlock the wallet for 60 seconds, then type

dumpprivkey "VTA receive address"

and the 31 or so character key will be presented

STEP 1 (unlock your wallet first):

Example 1:  walletpassphrase "YourPassword" 60

Example 2:  walletpassphrase "YourPassword" 600

(you can use 60 seconds or 600 seconds)

STEP 2:

Type This Command:  dumpprivkey "VTA receive address"

(you will now get your PRIVATE KEY after step 2 finished)

Let me just state here there are NO coins stored on the wallet server itself. In fact 95% of coins will be kept in an offline wallet. The website runs on a premium hosting account in a datacenter located in the Netherlands. Passwords are stored using 1-way encryption. There's much more to it but that's for another day. John"

VirtaCoin Has Finally Launched And Goes Live On 1 July, 2014

As VirtaPay ends, VirtaCoin begins

VirtaPay’s centralized virtual currency service has reached an end. The transition to VirtaCoin embraces a new way of thinking… a decentralized currency that is owned by everyone who holds it.

Centralized currencies have many inherent and potential problems:

• Centralized currencies are typically issued, governed and controlled by people. This adds costs and requires high levels of trust in those people, because they could easily manipulate the currency.
• Inflation is unpredictable and potentially devastating. Each time the controlling party adds more currency to the system, it devalues the existing currency base.
• The currency must “live” in a certain country. It must abide by the rules of a specific jurisdiction, which adds cost, risk and requires trust in the leaders of that country.
• If it’s a private currency (non-national) it can be easily targeted for shut-down, because all resources are centralized and controlled by a single party.

VirtaCoin is Decentralized

VirtaCoin reduces or eliminates those risks and problems. VirtaCoin is a decentralized crypto-currency, like bitcoin. In fact, it is based on the bitcoin codebase, so it works almost exactly like bitcoin.

Here are a few of the benefits of decentralization:

• There is no central organization or authority that controls VirtaCoin. It is completely governed and operated by an open source program. It is regulated by the laws of mathematics, not the whims of people.
• VirtaCoin is not a company or corporation. Instead, it exists as a distributed, peer-to-peer ledger on the computers of all who use it. It is collectively “owned” by all who hold the currency.
• VirtaCoin “lives” on every computer that installs and runs the wallet software… making it nearly impossible to shut down.
• It is “trustless”. This means that no trust is required for transactions. Funds are transferred directly between parties without risk of interception or interference by an intermediary.
• Fund transfers are permanent, without risk of refunds or charge backs.
• It would be nearly impossible for anyone (bank, government or other) to seize funds from a securely stored VirtaCoin wallet balance.

Because VirtaCoin is truly decentralized, the project is completely in the hands of the VirtaCoin community.

VirtaCoin is Yours

It is up to the VirtaCoin community to collectively contribute and make VirtaCoin what you want it to be. To give VirtaCoin the greatest chance of long-term success, please consider contributing to some or all of the following:

• Forums — VirtaCoin needs places for the community to gather and discuss issues and ideas. You could set up a forum, become a moderator, or even just contribute your ideas and opinions on a VirtaCoin community forum.
• Exchanges — If you would like to exchange your VirtaCoin for bitcoin, for other crypto-currencies, or even for fiat currency, please contact crypto-currency exchanges and follow their procedures to ask them to list VirtaCoin.
• Solo Mining — To earn more VirtaCoin and contribute computing power to securing the VirtaCoin network, you can try solo mining.
• Mining Pools — If you have the knowledge, you can create a mining pool. This helps large groups of people to work together and share in the mining rewards, while helping to secure the VirtaCoin network.
• Developers — If you are a programmer, or know someone who is, you can help to maintain and improve VirtaCoin by working on the open source VirtaCoin Project on GitHub.

Import Your Balance

Important! Were you a member of VirtaPay before the transition to VirtaCoin? Did you have a balance in your VirtaPay account?

If you answered “yes” to these questions, your balance has been transferred to VirtaCoin. To access it, you will need to download a VirtaCoin wallet and import your transferred balance…
