FTC Wallet RESET...

I downloaded FTC wallet. I then bought and successfully had the coins added to my wallet. I then made a backup to an offline backup drive. I also uploaded the wallet.dat file (renamed as `feathercoin-wallet.dat`) to my DropBox account. I then realized I hadn`t yet encrypted the wallet…

My question is:

I`m nervous about my un-encrypted wallet being hi-jacked while uploading to DropBox. How do I go about getting my existing coins out of the existing wallet and into a new wallet… `without losing all my FTC` in the process?

Thanks for any ideas/suggestions for a complete noob!

There’s a number of ways to take care of this, but the easiest and safest way would be:

Transfer the coins to an exchange. Once they have been confirmed and added to your balance on the exchange you choose, make sure your client is closed and delete the wallet.dat in the %appdata% folder. When you open the client again, a new wallet.dat will be generated with new a new private key and a new public address for you to send the coins back to.

Exchanges:

I would also recommend you retain your old wallet.dat backup just in case something happens to the block chain and you need to recover them from the old wallet. This is very unlikely to happen, but better safe than sorry.
