Hi everyone,
maybe you can help me: I thought crypto works this way: If you create a wallet, then you can create a seed (as example many letters or 12+ words). Based on this data the private key will be generated.
Now I downloaded the pivx wallet. Just in the beginning I had a wallet with a public key to receive funds. In next step I decided to encrypt it. I entered some letters. But I think the private key did not change at all :/.
So I wonder: Is is correct that my private key is generated throught that encryption or did the wallet just create one private key in the beginning that was encrypted later?
(and if it is really a random private key, how can I safe it not to loose not all my funds, in case my computer crashes? - i have linux running)
