Anybody else having problems synchronizing their wallet ?
Mine's stuck the past 3 days. Tried everything, yet can't download the latest blocks.
You have to download the latest version of Wallet in order to synchronize it to the new block chain.
Do these for successful syncronization:
1) Backup your Existing wallet fully (The complete Folder under C:\Users\User-name-of-computer\Appdata\Roaming\GoByteCore
2) To Ensure safety of your existing Wallet folder, simply rename the above path GoByteCore folder to something like GoByteCore-BackupOldBlockchain
3) Download the new Gobyte wallet version (as of today it is 0.12.2.3) from the GoByte website and Install it.. This will create a new Wallet altogether since it's a fresh installation
4) Once the wallet is installed, simply delete or rename the existing wallet file i.e. wallet.dat of this newly installed wallet. Please note by default it will now be under the same folder like old C:\Users\User-name-of-computer\Appdata\Roaming\GoByteCore
5) Open your old wallet folder which you had taken backup (The Original one with Coins) i.e. C:\Users\User-name-of-computer\Appdata\Roaming\GoByteCore-BackupOldBlockchain. Now copy the wallet.dat file from this backup folder and paste it in the newly installed wallet folder i.e. C:\Users\User-name-of-computer\Appdata\Roaming\GoByteCore
6) Run the GoByteCore wallet and it will be successfully synchronize.
Ultimately what we did is, simply installed a new version wallet on the computer and had pasted the wallet.dat from the backup folder to this newly installed version. It works.
Please note, if you are RUNNING masternodes, you will need to copy masternode.cnf and gobyte.cf files under this newly installed folder by replacing the exiting one so that the masterndoe settings are restored. Once the wallet is synchorized, you need to START ALIAS the masternode to ensure it is working!
VERY IMPORTANT: TAKE THE BACKUP OF THE WALLET WITH COINS BEFORE DOING ANY STEP AS ABOVE. THE ABOVE PROCEDURE IS FOR WINDOWS WALLET. FOR LINUX, COMMANDS WILL BE DIFFERENT, BUT PROCEDURE IS ALMOST THE SAME.
Cheers!
