I have quite crucial question. I linked my btc successfully but I dont remember setting up the wallet. Was there a seed to write down or something? How should I proceed if I dont have the seed anymore? I still run the old version wallet. Thank you in advance.

Before you upgrade to the latest software version you need to backup the Byteball folder contained in a hidden folder called local. You lose your blackbytes if you lose that folder. It needs backing up after each blackbyte transaction.

It's important to back up your seed, but you can only recover your byteballs with it, not your blackbytes. However, using your seed to recover your byteballs is not easy, it's best to use a backed up folder.

After you have backed up you need yo install the latest version of the software without first uninstalling the old version. The latest version will detect your old wallet, and is needed to see your byteballs.

Thanks HI-TEC99 and CryptKeeper for clarification

What exactly I need to do to secure a backup before update to v1.0.0?

"To restore wallets, you will need a full backup of Byteball settings. Just the wallet seed is not enough"

It's vital to backup this windows folder to ensure you get your blackbytes.

C:\users\\AppData\Local\Byteball

The folder is normally hidden. If you haven't configured your computer to make it visible then click the windows orb, type %appdata% into the search box and press enter, Your hidden appdata folder should open.

It's also important to back up your wallet words (the seed) that you can view in the advanced section of your wallet.

Searched the %appdata% on windows 10 machine and that sucker is no where to be seen. Not even a folder in that list that says "byteball". Nada. Any clues how I get the mysterious folder to display? I have 600GB of blackies in there ad I've already smashed the screen on my nexus this morning so I'm not feeling lucky atm!

Thanks in advance to anyone who can assist with my shit windows skills.

When you type %appdata% into the search box and press enter a folder called roaming should open.

If you then press your "alt" key and your up arrow key at the same time you should see your appdata folder. Inside it there should be a folder named local, and inside the local folder there should be a folder named byteball.

I haven't used windows 10 yet. Those instructions are good for windows 8, but only someone who has used windows 10 can confirm they're good for that platform.

If you are sure you are in your local folder inside appdata, then try downloading the software linked below.

Run it and use it to search for the word "byteball". It should show you every byteball folder on your system.
