Hate to keep asking the same question on wallet upgrades, but do we just run the installer and let it overwrite the existing contents of the old version? Do we need to delete any app/roaming folders or specific files?

Introducing DigiByte v3.0.1 MultiAlgo
Mandatory Update before block 145,000

Please give us feedback if everything worked for you, especially with the OSX wallet. Mining pool, exchange & block explorer operators please notify us when you have updated your DigiByte wallet.

It is very important we get everyone updated before block 145,000 as at that point sending coins from a v3.01 wallet to a v2.9.1 wallet or earlier could result in problems.

As always, backup your wallet.dat before upgrading! (File -> Backup Wallet -> Select location to save to)

Note: It may be necessary to reindex/rebuild the chain after upgrading.



Why did DigiByte switch to Multi-Algo mining?

1) To update DigiShield and speed the blockchain back up to normal.
2) It is the most fair POW mining option out there (embraces ASICs & GPU miners alike on an even playing field).
3) More secure than a single POW mining scheme (much harder to 51% attack).
4) Speed block timing up to 30 seconds to facilitate faster merchant transactions (ties in with DigiPay LLC development).
5) Tap into used Bitcoin ASIC miners market. (Use those old ASICS to help secure the DGB blockchain)

If you can think of another reason multi-POW is better, let us know!


MultiAlgo DigiByte.conf & Options

You need to set the algo you want to mine in the digibyte.conf:

Code:
rpcallowip=*
rpcuser=yourusername
rpcpassword=yourpassword
server=1
daemon=1
txindex=1
debug=1
algo=scrypt
rpcport=14022
port=12024
addnode=216.250.125.121
addnode=74.208.230.160
addnode=74.112.204.202
addnode=46.4.32.220
addnode=198.27.109.88
addnode=54.204.36.33
addnode=198.41.184.140
addnode=144.76.94.182
addnode=95.85.50.188
addnode=162.159.240.70

Once multi-algo mining kicks in you need one of these settings in your .conf to solo mine whichever algo you choose:
Code:
algo=scrypt
algo=sha256d
algo=groestl
algo=qubit
algo=skein
