I don't think you will ever mint anything unless you update your wallet.

Close your client/wallet down.
Go to the mintcoin folder where the blockchain and wallet files are.
This is usually located in C drive>users>username>appdata>roaming>Mintcoin
Copy that entire mintcoin folder and save it in a safe location (this is your backup). Now go back to the mintcoin folder and delete it. Once you have deleted it, run the new 1.14 client. It will create a new mintcoin folder and install the blockchain from scratch. It will also create a new wallet.dat file with zero coins. Don't worry about that. Just wait for the wallet to sync. All you have to do is turn your client off again and replace the wallet.dat file in the new mintcoin folder with the wallet.dat file from your backup. Then restart the client/wallet again and once it is done syncing you will have your coins.

I just updated the client and it synced. Did not redownload the blockchain and it works.

I think technically its not a fork. Since there is still only 1 chain... Right?
December 19, 2014, 06:13:57 PM
if the new wallets are only needed for minting, is it safe to send coins to my new wallet from the exchanges?
December 19, 2014, 05:23:46 PM
Basically, if you want to mint new coins, and help secure the network, you need to upgrade your wallet. Old wallets will not mint anymore.
December 19, 2014, 05:05:47 PM
I would say it's a fork, sorry. 
BestChain needs to be on the new wallet...

Hi Robo,
But old chain can be used, am I right?
I did some test for ZEIT - no problems so far. Looks like a seamless switching.

There was no fork. The chain just stopped until the 1.14 wallet was released, then it continued. Old wallets will not be able to mint new coins, but should function fine otherwise.
Ideally everyone would upgrade to the latest wallet. I know some exchanges have been waiting because a couple wallets back the new wallet required the blockchain to re-download.

I downloaded the new client but did not redownload the blockchain. The wallet is minting, block 1051812.
How to check if it is on the right chain?

Hi, I'm on Wallet 1.9.1. I opened it up to backup, and now it says I'm up to date and on block 1051878. Am I ok to just leave it alone?
Not if you want to mint coins. Old wallets will work for sending and receiving transactions but if you want to mint coins and support the network you need to update to the 1.14 wallet.

Yes. It's the right wallet - it says 1.4, but it's the correct one.
so to download it from mintcoin.cc?
