Okay ... I'd better explain my situation ...

I installed "your version 3.2.0 ..." on two PCs, and I can move my coins from 1 PC to the other PC ... Does this mean that everything is OK or not Huh

QT ver.3.2.0 is not working with current blockchain.
It's not possible move coins between old wallets.
But possible to recover old wallet/wallets on new blockchain in QT ver.5
If you have several old wallets with different addresses, you must recover every of them apart.

If you have only one old wallet and want to move coins to other PC:

Use 3.2.0 only for privatekey dumping on first PC (debug command in console).
Save this privkey.

Go to second PC.
Check whether directory ..AppData/Roaming/Flappycoin exist.
If YES, rename entire folder to other name, for example /FlappycoinOLD
Better way is to make archive copy of this old folder somewhere in secure place away from ..AppData/Roaming.
May be this folder contain another old wallet and you want to recover this one too.

Download new QT ver. 5 from Github, save proper .conf file and .lib

Start QT ver. 5 application. Wait for full synchronization.
You will have 0 (ZERO) balance at this point. It's normal.
QT ver. 5 will create new clear wallet on "clear" PC (old Flappycoin folder is renamed to FlappycoinOLD or moved to archive copy (not removed forever !!!) and not seen by application).
So this ZERO in not your balance yet.
Go to debug window.
Type importprivkey yoursavedprivatekey
Press Enter and wait some minutes for full blockchain scan.
Your old wallet with all previous information (old address, coin amount, thansaction data) will be recovered.
Wait for full synchronization.
Exit application.
Save arhive of entire new ..AppData/Roaming/Flappycoin folder in secure place.
Save archive of your new wallet.dat file from ..AppData/Roaming/Flappycoin in secure place.

NEVER LEAVE YOR WALLET.DAT FILE NOR PRIVATEKEY STRING ELSEWHERE IN PUBLIC ACCESSIBLE PLACES !

If you have "several" old wallets with the same address but different coin amount (actually the same wallet from different PC), you will have the last coin amount recorded in blockchain (according to last confirmed transaction for this address).

If you have more than one old wallet, save them all in secure place before any manipulation.
Rename every wallet.dat file to different name (for example, wallet-YEAR-MONTH-DAY.dat) to prevent overwrite.
Make privatekey for every old one
(copy back to old ..AppData/Roaming/Flappycoin folder on first PC
rename wallet-YEAR-MONTH-DAY.dat to standard wallet.dat
start ver.3.2.0 application
dump privatekey and save)

Import every privatekey in QT ver. 5 on second PC and save every new recovered wallet under unique name.

I'm a bit confused. I downloaded the new wallet (its named flappycoin-5 windows qt but confusingly it's version 3.2.0.0 - I think that's just an oversight). I just synced the wallet and then copied over my old wallet dat and the coins show up fine. Will these coins vanish after the swap?
