Hello!

Dont know what I am doing wrong....I was running that old 1.1.2 with wrong blockhain so I took it away from my machine (not appdata). So I upgraded to this 1.1.4 but its
still showing wrong blochain. I have backed up my wallet.dat but I am real confused what to do next. I am not mining right now and the term deposits seems to be as usual...help would be nice.

shutdown/close your Wallet.
Backup your files in AppData RoiCoin (wallet.dat, roicoin.conf if created), delete all files in RoiCoin folder but wallet.dat and roicoin.conf not.
Then start your wallet again and wait till it is resynced...

Thanks for clarification. I have only mined through putty with linux so I deleted all but wallet.dat from appdata and synced the QT-wallet. And now I am on the right blockchain.
These updates are bit confusing to newbies. My last question is it enough to backup your wallet.dat only once or do I have to do it in regular bases? Huh

?

I would do it frequently. This is because that backup copy is your only protection from losing all of your coins. Also make sure that backup is not only on the same PC as the wallet so put it on a usb stick or different pc or even cloud storage. Lastly, you should also encrypt - password protect your wallet also.

Yes I have that wallet.dat on USB stick. My only roi is on term deposit now but that password protection sounds reasonable. Thanks for the answers both of you.
