Everyone, please update your wallet to the latest version
v1.9.0.0. from the official github
https://github.com/xenonflux/1337/releases/tag/v1.9.0.0 . Only Windows qt is available at this moment and Linux users can compile the latest version from github just like before. Sorry Mac users, there will be a slight delay as I am still working on mac wallet compile. New reward halving will kick in
Sunday 24th Sept, 2017 13:37 UTC. This will set the reward APR to
20.890625%. Also, please keep in mind that anyone with v1.9.0.0 cannot send/receive coins to/from v1.8.0.0 and vice-versa. I will try to upload the latest snapshot(bootstrap) as soon as I get a chance. Below are the steps on how to update,
- Backup your wallet and save your backup somewhere safe (
This is very important)
- This step is not necessary but just to be safe, backup (copy) your 1337 folder in your C:/Users/
/AppData/Roaming to your USB or your Desktop.
- Close your wallet (older version) if its open
- Download 1337-qt9252017.zip from the github link above.
- Extract the zip and run 1337-qt.exe
- If you see an assertion error or if you are unable to start new wallet at all, go to your above Roaming folder and delete 1337 folder (before deleting make sure you backed up your wallet)
- If you are having connection issues, please download the 1337.conf file from above github location and paste/replace it in your Roaming/1337 folder.
- Once the snapshot/bootstrap is available in the above github location, you can use that to speed up the sync process.
- For any other issues, please join our official Slack channel https://the-1337-foundation-invite.herokuapp.com/ and we will try our best to help you asap.
On a different note, our main developer Velvet78 is unreachable at the moment due to an emergency so I have stepped up to carry out his development work. More exciting stuffs are coming up next. Stay tuned!

Thanks for the instructions! My wallet's beginning to sync up again. So, once the wallet syncs up, I should replace the wallet.dat file in the folder with the one that I saved on my usb stick?
On a totally separate note, I'd like to toss out the possibility of rebranding 1337 and possibly making it a masternode coin. Whatever the case, something needs to be done. This coin is dying a slow death.
can some1 tell me how to restore my back up file on my wallet plz, i done everything i was told and on execution my coins went into unconfirmed mode so i need to restore back up asap
and welcome.
