Hi,

I have a couple of beginner type questions:

1. When i back up my wallet on a mac. The format of the .dat file is VLC. Is that all good, or should i be saving in a different format?

2. Does Dash also suffer from transaction malleability?

Thanks in advance.

Hello there,

1. Yes, it's fine. VLC thinks it's his files because of the .dat extension but internally they are completely different.
2. Bitcoin addresses malleability (more or less) in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/commit/1cea6b0. Dash 12.0 has no such fix yet but will have the same fix in 12.1.
