Noirshares Upgrade Process

Step 0 Dump Private Keys

Step 1 See if blockchain redownload is needed.
   Help > Debug Window > Console. In the console type "getblock ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffeeee"
   If return is Block not found (code -5) there is no need to re-download the chain proceed to step 5
      1a otherwise backup privatekeys type "dumpprivkey " and copy down the output some place safe as this is how you will get your coins back.
      1b repeat 1a for each receiving address
Step 2 Shut down NoirShares, verify not still running in background

Step 3 If Block found open application data folder for NoirShares
   Windows default is %appdata%/NoirShares
   Linux default is ~/.NoirShares
   Mac OSx default is /Users//Library/NoirShares

Step 4 Delete everything except wallet.dat(unless you dumpedprivkeys in step 1) and (optional)NoirShares.conf

Step 5 Install new QT, unzip new QT, or build new Qt.
   Allow to sync to block height found at http://nrs.argakiig.us

Step 6 If keys were dumped in step 1
   Help > Debug Window > Console type "importprivkey ", Repeat for each private key.
   (Note: Qt can appear to hang during import step this is normal as block-chain is being checked for address to update balance with)

Do i really need to dump private keys and all this jazz? I just backed up the wallet file and deleted everything else. New client is installed and re-downloading the blockchain... looks good so far.

If you delete everything but the wallet.dat you shouldnt have any issues. this was more of a CYA then anything else. Plus if you dumpprivkeys you have a backup of your wallet and could essentially make a paper wallet if you wanted. Just a thought

Hope this helps

Thanks. I had seen that in the OP but step 1 worked fine, so jumped ahead like it said. Just deleted and reinstalled, working fine now.
