I have been away from sia for awhile and my wallet version is pretty old. Last time I was here (like 4 months ago) there were issues with coins being lost. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can safely download the new wallet version and how to get my old wallet.dat file in the new program? There were changes on where the wallet.dat is saved so I'm not sure how to proceed I don't want to lose any coins. I also had sianotes as well.

Thanks for the help!

1: Download and sync the new sia client. Don't unlock your wallet until it syncs.

2: Click the wallet tab then "new wallet" (or something like that) on top right of screen.

3: SAVE the long password they give you! That is your password.. and you can also recover your coins with it even if you lose your wallet.json file

4: Unlock your wallet and then click load legacy wallet. Point it to your old wallet with the old funds and you should be good to go from there.

If you have siafunds.. I believe you can import them using the same method. I haven't done this myself though not because we can't but because I just want to make damn sure everything is working the way it should before I play with those.

FYI: Your wallet.json file can be found in your sia folder under resources>>App>>Sia>>wallet
You should probably still make a copy of this even though the long password is as good as your wallet.

Thanks for the quick reply! Why is the wallet.json file there instead of in library>>application support like most other wallets? And is the wallet encrypted in this version? Thanks again!
