lesson 2:
Lock It and Back It Up

A wallet file without a passphrase is a strongbox with the door hangin' open. Encrypt it, then make a backup on a USB stick ya keep somewhere safe:

ammocoin-cli encryptwallet "<a long passphrase only you know>"
ammocoin-cli backupwallet "/path/to/usb/wallet-backup.dat"

Write the passphrase down on paper and keep it apart from the backup. Lose both and nobody on the frontier can get yer coins back, not GLiBz, not AMMOcoin, not the Sheriff.

Safety: Never share yer private keys, seed phrase or wallet file with anybody. GLiBz never asks fer 'em, and neither does the QuarterMaster.
