A few questions about wallets and maybe you guys can help.
I finally got a Nano. I wanted to transfer the coins into it.
First a bit of a backstory.
I originally held the coins on my desktop wallet app from the Ethereum developers. That wallet was fine, but I hated having the block chain on my computer and I also upgraded to a new MacBook so I transferred the coin into my wife's wallet (same app and using the traditional send coin to another wallet way) on her MacBook, while I did the upgrade just to be safe. She's been holding on to it since as we were waiting for the Nano wallet to arrive.
So, she was having issues completing the block chain for whatever reasons. Apparently Ethereum Wallet can run into some snags sometimes and issues can occur, which is just another reason to keep a physical wallet for us. We are also long term holders with it, so keeping it safe and offline is a nice thing.
Because her wallet was taking too long and acting up, I wanted to try to see how the keystore folder worked. It always confused me what it exactly was and I had a vague understanding that it was possible to redownload the wallet app, use the keystore folder and place a copy of it in the appropriate space (e.g. FILE-> BACKUP-> ACCOUNTS) So, because we were looking at a situation where we wanted to transfer the coins to the Nano, I did just that on my computer. It seems to have worked and now we both show the coins in our wallets and I believe they are the same wallet, just on two different MacBooks. So first question, is this possible? Same wallet in two separate places? When I put the keystore in my wallet file structure, I was never prompted to enter a password for that keystore.
Also, when it comes to the Nano, one I set its up, those coins will be physically removed from my app based wallet and then put onto the physical one correct? Can I then get rid of the Wallet App on my computer and the blockchain as well?
Sorry for the long winded story, but this part of it is the most confusing to me.
Thanks!
