Do I need to create an account?
No. There are no accounts, no sign-ups, no email addresses. You are in full control of your wallet from the moment it's created.
What if I lose my computer — do I lose my QWR?
Your wallet file contains your private keys. Back it up by copying the wallet.dat file from your Qweercoin data folder to a safe place (a USB drive, for example). On Mac it's in ~/Library/Application Support/Qweercoin/wallets/, on Linux in ~/.qweercoin/wallets/, on Windows in %APPDATA%\Qweercoin\wallets\.
