Re: [UNO] Unobtanium Info & Discussion - Update to 0.10 Wallet

Hey there, I have the old unobtanium wallet and went to the website and it seems the only new Mac wallet is an electrum wallet. Is it a light weight client? I always prefer downloading the blockchain when possible rather than rely on light weight clients. But I'll take whatever wallet will work. What are my options and how do I utilize my current wallet.dat file? Would I just replace the wallet.dat in whichever wallet I use.

Thanks

Correct, the electrum wallet doesn't need to sync the whole blockchain. However the new version of the core wallet should work well. From my experience it might even recognize the old .dat automatically. Otherwise you would search for your UNO wallet folder then drag and drop the .dat. Either way, click file > backup wallet and save it to a USB drive (as suggested above). Then you could also load the .dat from the USB drive rather than searching it in your PC hard drive.

Also if you save it to a USB drive be sure it's password protected (encrypted) or you could then delete the file of course (in case you lose the drive), but best to have a backup at all times anyway

Edit: Oh, I don't know about the latest version of the core wallet for Mac, sorry.
