just test on clean new install of debian jessie 8.1XFCE i586 (not update/upgraded) on T420 (not 64bit but works anyway)

make sure to place a copy of your still working faircoin1 installation alongside the new installation like this:

./FairCoin
./faircoin2

where ./faircoin2 is the new by the installation process created folder containing faircoin2 PoC

Code:

su
apt-get install build-essential autoconf libssl-dev libboost-dev libboost-chrono-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-test-dev libboost-thread-dev libqt4-dev libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler libqrencode-dev git libleveldb-dev libleveldb1 libtool autoconf autotools-dev pkg-config libdb++-dev libevent-dev

git clone https://github.com/faircoin/faircoin.git

cd faircoin

./autogen.sh
./configure --disable-tests --disable-bench --with-incompatible-bdb

make
make install

exit

when you initialize faircoin-qt the first time, probably straight away from your console:

Code:

faircoin-qt

faircoin2 will ask you where to place the installation folder ./faircoin2 , probably proposing:
/home/username./faircoin

Make sure to place a copy of your working installation of your old FairCoin installation alongside this new folder before going on with the instalation:
/home/username./FairCoin
/home/username./faircoin2

Then finish to initialize the installation process of faircoin2.

You should have access to your brand new faircoin2 PoC coins → faircoin

If you had trouble with coins send from old addresses to new addresses, like mentioned a few pages before:

Quote

I sent faircoin from old wallet to new wallet and did not receive any faircoins can any one tell how can I retrieve my faircoins

for example by sending your coins from a faircoin1 wallet to the identical address of the new bittrex wallet, try to get an older back up of your wallet.dat and use that as initializing wallet.dat for the upgrading process. Also it is possible that the transaction simply will not figure in the new faircoin2 chain and you might see your coins anyway.

That said your faircoin1 tokens do still exist and rest in the wallets of bittrex.
That's a unacceptable circumstance!

Welcome to faircoin2.0 PoC!
--------
let's save FairCoin PoS as a token te evolve more blockchain related proposals for a fairer cooperation.
we keep minting faircoin1 and hope to convince the FairCoinTeam to do so too!
