I just upgraded to the most recent darkcoin client.  It says that there's a security issue and I should create a new wallet and transfer my funds to it.

OK, fine.  How do I do that?  I don't see any menu options for making a new wallet.

Thanks for the help.


send all your funds from your old wallet
to your new wallet !
super easy

the you have a new .dat file
and that is what this so all about !

How do you get a new wallet? I just had this message too. Do you have to install another DarkCoin wallet program?

Close client, rename your current wallet.dat to something else, like wallet-old.dat, then fire up the client again. Because there is now no wallet.dat, it will create a new one. Copy the new address, close client, rename wallet.dat wallet-new.dat, rename wallet-old.dat back to wallet.dat, fire up the client again, send funds in old wallet to new wallet address...
