Will also need to Figure out how this would work for the Web version.
Need to discuss this with @jeroenvanwissen as it would most likely be handled in the wrapper layer for desktop. For Web it would be something more akin to exporting their private key but we need to figure out proper handling and security around that as well, just a lil different than the desktop scenario.
There is a possibility of doing this with the dumpwallet
and importwallet
APIs already present in syscoin-api. We could make the experience even better (for read at least) if we can present an OS-dialog for file selection, this may require interaction with the wrapper layer. Because dumpwallet
writes in a diffferent format than wallet.dat, we should use a custom extension for backups like .sys
. Both of these functions appear to read/write from the location of the blockmarket executable.
Create a "Backup" feature (just a ui exporting wallet.dat to a user selected location) This will eliminate guiding the user to often hidden %appdata% folders which takes a lot of support time with the amount of incoming new users that are new to crypto, and spoiled by web wallets.
