Again a huge thanks to everyone in this awesome community for sticking it out through this ordeal, the rollback will happen and the coin will progress forward.

Please download the appropriate release for your system and follow the detailed instructions on how to install the rollback binary and properly rollback the coin on your system.




Windows Instructions for Rollback:

  • Make a backup copy of the file wallet.dat MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THIS BACKED UP. After backing up the wallet.dat file delete the entire contents of the directory.
  • Next, paste the new GhostCoin executable into this directory and paste your BACKED UP wallet.dat into this directory and run the GhostCoin executable
  • After running the executable it will sync after a few minutes to the new blockchain and you will now be using the new blockchain with the rollback.


Mac Instructions for Rollback:

  • After downloading the DMG for Mac navigate to the following directory in finder: ~/Library/Application Support/GhostCoin  you will need to use the finder "Go to folder" option to navigate to that directory as it is hidden by default on Mac.
  • Make a backup copy of the file wallet.dat MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THIS BACKED UP. After backing up the wallet.dat file delete the entire contents of the directory.

We understand that this is not a perfect solution, but unfortunately there is no perfect solution in this scenario. After a lengthy discourse with multiple parties we decided that this is the best course of action moving forward. Again we would like to thank everyone in the community for their patience, there will be further updates related to the rollback to address any issues.
