my wallet is catching up 8 weeks behind but stuck at 36904 for an hour, even rebooted, is it just slow?

Make sure you have the latest wallet from the website posted in the announcement thread, v0.9.3.3-unk-beta.

but how do I transfer from old wallet to new?

Backup your wallet.dat following the guide below just in case and replace the darkcoin-qt.exe with the new one.

could I get a new wallet on a diff computer and transfer from old to new or would it have to be synched before I can send drk?

If you want to transfer the coins to a different computer on your network that has never had the DarkCoin client on it just place the wallet.dat file from the old wallet with the coins in the DarkCoin APPDATA folder on the new computer and start the wallet download to download the blockchain. You should always wait until the wallet is fully synced before sending any coins.

To copy the wallet.dat from the old computer to the new one

-Backup the wallet.dat from the old computer with the coins

-Press the WIN+R keys on the computer you are transferring the coins to

-Type the %APPDATA% in the dialog box and hit OK

-In the path that opens, create a new directory named DarkCoin

-Place the wallet.dat file with the coins in that directory

-Start the wallet and let it sync

-Your coins will either show as unconfirmed or not at all until the wallet has synced and downloaded the blockchain


thanks but my wallet is stuck on synching,, its been a few hours... it was 9 weeks behind..
