Can anyone advise on issue above please? I am using the  V.15 wallet and it wont sync

of which wallet?

I use the Odarhome wallet but its only version 0.90.9.6

I am using the original V.15 QT wallet for over year now.I know nothing about this Odarhome version and do not know how to use it or masternodes.I also have more than 1 wallet . dat so cannot sync them all at the same time anyway even if I was to try this Odarham version.


there are also several QT wallets for BTX - I would suggest trying a newer version, you could do one wallet.dat file at a time. Odarhome QT wallet can open each one separately. you can then alwasy decide whether to merge them/sweep them into one if you wanted to.


The issue is whether I am now on different algo or something as my version 0.015.2.2 QT wallet which is a GUI node for bitcore has stopped syncing at block 670861 and if I put wallet. dat into this odarham wallet or whatever then there will be some conflict with my wallet. dat causing coins to be lost.I want confirmation from developer as to what I need to do or whether I can continue using V.015 wallet and this sync problem can be addressed without changing version.

I need clear instructions how to sync numerous wallet .dat files if updating to this new wallet and algo to prevent coins being compromised.

yes the algo changed and your old version wallet will not sync past where the change occurred.  When I updated to the new QT wallet, all I did was download it and then opened my .dat files and I had zero issues.  

If concerned about corrupting the .dat files, you could always make copies of the .dat files and put them in a different directory and try opening the copies with the newer version.

as for the developers giving you assurance, they should be along and hopefully they will answer you soon.

Thank you for your advise on matter and I have sent a pm to developer but they do not have been online since October 01.   I will wait a while to see if there is response before attempting this as I am not very adept unfortunately. Much appreciated
