I am in the same boat. I have some Faircoins from an old wallet last updated on 05/2014 and looking to see if there is anyway to recover them and move to an exchange.
any help would be really appreciated
Thanks
you can update to faircoin 2, just by downloading the same wallet, on the new version on your computer
https://download.faircoin.worldit should detect your /.faircoin folder, and get the private key for giving you access
