i got some presale ether. i am a average user. i wonder if there will be a save wallet in near future? i dont feel save with etherwallet.org, or com a webwallet. will there be a wallet that i have on my pc ?
I just downloaded the wallet, but still looking for the "back-up wallet"option, any help?
mist reads the geth accounts. there is no backup option yet, but it is quite simple to backup both, accounts and wallets.
A - accounts are ether addresses protected by passphrase. you can simply backup the keystore files found in ~/.ethereum/keystore/*
B - wallets are smart contracts belonging to accounts. to backup wallets all you need to do is backing up the owner account (see A) and the wallet public key. as the owner account controls the wallet, all you need to remember is the public key :-)

I find you have to watch reddit to keep on top of new announcements.
