Trying to update to 1.4 here and whenever I download the .rar file the wallet wont run without the qtnetwork4.dll so I tried extracting all the .dll files into a folder with the wallet and it gives me the blkindex error.......

I had version 1.2 on my computer with some coins in it before I started trying to download the 1.4 and I aside from bitstar I am always paranoid that I'm going to lose my coins somehow when I update to a new version of any cryptocurrency wallet. Could someone maybe give me a scenario where I would accidentally do that? Do the wallet.dats always stay on my hard drive? Maybe some kind of wallet 101 course would set me straight right? Kind of rambling on here sorry...

Anyways what should I do to update to 1.4? Do I need to completely uninstall my last wallet?

Best you make backup of your wallet.dat file and remove all other .dat files / database folder from the %appdata%\Bitstar folder (usually: C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Bitstar )
Download the fast sync package and extract in the %appdata%\Bitstar folder.
You then have an updated ( couple days / a week old ) chain with new blkindex format.

Just make sure you always have a backup copy of your wallet.dat

Then you can run the new 1.4 wallet.

Quote

To all users getting "error loading blkindex.dat " message when updating to 1.4 wallet ... you missed the 1.3 update ;-)
Since 1.3 the blkindex.dat format has changed for faster wallet loading. Use the fast sync package to download most of the chain..

Well it's really weird, I don't even have a %appdata%\Bitstar folder. I'm trying to download on a separate computer (on windows)..even if I extract the wallet and all the .dll files to a folder and then extract the bootstrap to the same folder I still get an error....lol I don't know whats up with it but Ill figure it out eventually.

One question though, you mentioned I should delete ALL OTHER .dat files while backing up my wallet.dat. Speaking in general about wallet backup is it a bad idea to keep .dat files from seperate coins in the same folder. for example wallet.dat for bitstar and a wallet.dat for vericoin in the same folder.

can we withdraw superBITS from NXT AE to our wallets?
Is there a superBITS MGW server operational?

and if not, is there an ETA on that?

Yes, use the Supernet Client (also available in wallet), then you just use "send" and send to your wallet address (or anywhere else you want to send to)

i'm using SuperNET 1.4.18 and only see BTC and BTCD in the multigateway section.
Is the feature available only in the Bitstar-SuperNET enabled wallet?

That's a very old version of supernet, its available on current versions.

1.4.18. is very old? man, do i lag..

Anyway, i seem to have this tx stuck for a few days. Could you take a look at it?
https://nxtblocks.info/#section/txid/17541648885334838494

I used the 1.4 bistar wallet, not sure if that helps.
I posted about it in the MGW support thread over at nxtforums, but i don't know if the superBITS cluster is maintained by the guys there.

EDIT: Please disregard this, the coins are there, it was a blockexplorer issue.

That makes me wonder - is there a place where SuperBITS are traded? If so for what?

They can be traded against NXT in the NXT Asset exchange if that is what you mean

Hi. I updated from 1.3 version to 1.4 version just by extracting directly to same folder by overwriting files. It worked just fine. I didn't have to do anything else.

Hey I've been away for a while and when I opened my wallet it won't stake. I am using the old simple wallet. I am around block 1057826. Now when I try to open the new wallet I get an error loading blkindex.dat. What do I do? Huh

Sorry if this has been answered already.

Upgrade to the new wallet. Nothing below version 1.4.0.0 will work anymore.

You didn't understand my message. I already downloaded the new wallet. When I open the 1.4.0.0 wallet I get an error message. error loading blkindex.dat

Best if you download the latest bootstrap as well: https://mega.co.nz/#!JBE0GYpb!9fUb4WlNEBPQcHnbltoX8HuIwjONuXi5R5hm1APxJOs

If your on windows : close bitstar wallet, go to your roaming folder (hidden), and then bitstar folder. Delete everything in there EXCEPT wallet.dat, launch bitstar wallet. This will resync.

I confirm my wallet is still working good.

By the way do we have any updates about the ATM (even month) release?
I am around one hour away and want to step face to face, send photos etc.

Interesting fact I just noticed on changing details in the OP to reflect the new 25% a year interest, The first year POS made 3m new coins, we now have just over 18m coins in circulation.

That means the market capitalization of Bitstar is around $43-$45K at current BTC prices. Not bad for the first year.
