  • Save the file under ~/Libary/Application Support/EuropeCoin.
    You can reach the Libary folder by holding the "Alt key" while clicking on "Go" in the menu bar.

  • To secure your wallet go to "Settings" and click on "Encrypt Wallet" and enter a new passphrase. Make sure to keep a copy of the passphrase on a safe place to recover your coins.
    Next go to "File" and click on "Backup Wallet" I recommend to keep this file on at least two different places.

Note, if you lose your Passphrase and or the wallet file your coins cannot be recovered !!!
