Litecoin wallet zip
Secure and backup your cryptocurrency.
Create redundant encrypted local copies of your wallet.dat files.
Create a triple-encrypted, double-obfuscated volume containing all your crypto-wallets (using 7-Zip and TrueCrypt).
Securely upload, email, share, and place this volume on the cloud.
The first step is to secure your crypto-stash locally:
- Sync your wallet with the bitcoin-litecoin-dogecoin-whatevercoin network.
- Encrypt your wallet with a good, strong password, either 10+ random characters or 8+ random words. Ideally, you should use 14+ random characters, despite what the bitcoin-qt wallet shows you:
Now it is impossible for someone to pilfer your coins without some Mega-Serious Cracking Abilities (MSCA).

Your wallet is secured, however, it must be backed-up in multiple (i.e. three or more) locations.
I save an extra wallet copy in a folder in My Documents, and another copy in another folder on my external hard-drive. I also occasionally backup my important folders and my whole system on a third hard-drive.
Typically you can find your original wallet location on your computer by typing the following into the Start Menu search area:
%APPDATA%If you type this in exactly, it should show a folder called ‘Roaming’ in your start menu. Press ENTER and it will transport you to this typically-hidden folder. Inside you should see a number of folders containing application-data, including one titled Bitcoin, and perhaps others, Dogecoin, etc. if you have them installed.
When you enter the Bitcoin folder, you will see a number of things. One is ‘wallet.dat’. This small file contains your entire stash of coins, now protected if you’ve encrypted it in LA PRIMERA ETAPA.
Each time you want to duplicate and backup this ‘wallet.dat’ file, you should do the following:
- In your Bitcoin/Othercoin wallet program, choose ‘File > Backup Wallet’.
- NAME IT: Something indicating the Coin-type and the date would be good.
- CHOOSE A DESTINATION: Somewhere safe. Multiple media types are ideal: CD’s, USB’s, Hard-drives, Floppies, etc.
~ LA TERCERA ETAPA ~
Now your stash is encrypted and well backed-up — assuming you named and backed-up your wallet.dat file in 3+ places in a way and manner in which you will not lose or forget these files exist.
The next step is an added layer (or two) of extropy needed to protect your coins from totally ridiculous calamities, such as fires, floods, earthquakes, and nuclear bombs.
