Superb instructions. Thanks!

My wallet didn't quite follow the script but things turned out fine (I think).

The script said:

step 6) launch the wallet, choose "YES" I want to rebuild the block index

12.1 uses a different indexing format so must walk the entire blockchain.
step 7) take a break, grab a sandwich, enjoy some sun

this can take anywhere from 3 to 4 hours depending on your machine
once complete, enjoy your new upgrades!

The button actually says "OK" not "YES" (hair-splitting), and in my case the wallet crashed almost immediately after that with one of those unhelpful Windows messages "an error has occurred" (and we know what it was but we won't tell you).        Wink

I restarted the wallet and it seemed to sync up fine on its own in only about half an hour! Balance and transactions look normal.

Very nice!


I have used the updated instructions and still get the same error in reading the mncache.dat file. I have deleted all the .dat files except the wallet.dat and I still get the error.
"Failed to load masternode cache from mncache.dat"
I had the same. You have to delete mncache.dat and mnpayments.dat in the DashCore folder then start the wallet again.
