Re: [ANN][DRK] Darkcoin | First Anonymous Coin | Inventor of X11, DGW and Darksend

can someone please show a way updating my wallet to the latest...i mean i just need to replace the wallet.dat file??or is more complecated??and i want also to setup 12 masternodes !! can this be done by me on windows just following the guides or i do need help?

on windows on the search bar type in:

%appdata%

A folder will pop up. Go to Roaming and then Darkcoin.

Inside the darkcoin folder, you'll see a "wallet.dat" file.

Rename it to "wallet.dat.old" and then start the new QT. This will generate a new wallet. Copy the first address to a notepad and close the wallet.

Back in the Darkcoin folder, rename the "wallet.dat" file to wallet.dat.new and rename the "wallet.dat.old" to "wallet.dat"

Open QT again. Send your entire balance to the new address and let it get one confirmation. After that, close QT, rename "wallet.dat" to "wallet.dat.old" and "wallet.dat.new" to "wallet.dat".

Open QT again. Now your entire balance should be in the new wallet format.

If you have trouble with this, I don't recommend you trying to run your own Masternode.

Why not simply run new wallet over old?

Because the keypool size changed from 100 to 1000.

Great. I did it and... when I first opened new QT there was 1 adress. I did all as said, copied that to notepad and closed wallet. changed wallet.dat as said, and at the end when opened new wallet again: nothing. ! And adress at receive is not the same now?? Help?

Did you send your funds to the new address you copied from the new wallet? That's what you need to do in the old wallet. If you are partial to the receiving address of the old wallet, you need to go to the console and dump the private key, then import it into the new wallet.
