If somehow I have an address with its corresponding private key but I have no wallet (well maybe I use some wallet to generate the address/key and then throw it), would it make sense to collect coins to that address and in the future redo the wallet with the addr/key to handle them?
Does that make sense? I am thinking of it as a security police to not have a wallet on a computer (neither connected to the net or not)
This is perfectly acceptable, however given human nature, it may be likely you lose them. If you lose those 256 bit numbers (however long they are) that's it you have lost your money. So DO NOT bother asking how to recover the private key. There is no way. Also you can generate the address (public key) from the private. So do not lose the private key. – marshal craft – 2017-08-25T10:44:06.307
