Hey guys I'm trying to update my wallet to the latest version, I haven't opened my wallet in 11 weeks so my client is way out of date. I've opened my old wallet to let it sync but it's sitting at 95656 of 644289 blocks. It says I have 3 active connections to the network, it was sitting at 1 for a few minutes, but the blocks still aren't going up. What should I do to make sure I don't lose my coins when upgrading to the new wallet? I asked this about a week ago but I didn't get around to actually doing it. Here's a response I got around a week ago but it requires my old wallet to sync. I was told I have to do these steps if I want to be able to use darksend. In the about darkcoin tab it says I have version 0.10.4-unk-beta.
Go into %appdata% and change the name of your old wallet.dat file to something like OLDwallet.dat
Delete peers and darkcoin.conf
Open new Wallet and allow it to create new wallet.dat file.
Allow it to sync
Create a new RECEIVE ADDY and right click copy the addy
Close the wallet
back into %appdata% and rename the wallet.dat file to NEWwallet.dat
rename OLDwallet.dat back to wallet.dat
Open the old wallet client and send all your coins to the newly created addy from above.
Once you send all coins close the wallet out.
back into %appdata% rename wallet.dat to OLDwaallet.dat
rename NEWwallet.dat to wallet.dat
open new version of darkcoin - you should be good at this point...
What should I do? Thanks for any help!
Edit: Now 4 connections to the network but still no change in blocks.
Download the latest Darkcoin client. Either 9 version or 10.
Go into the darkcoin directory. Rename your wallet.dat file to wallet.dat.old
Start the new client. It is going to create a new wallet. After it finishes syncing, copy the first address and close the client.
Now go back into the darkcoin directory and you'll see a new wallet.dat. Rename it to wallet.dat.new
Launch the old client with the old wallet renamed from wallet.dat.lold to wallet.dat
Send your full balance to the new wallets address that you copied down previously.
Close the old client and once again rename wallet.dat to wallet.dat.old
Rename wallet.dat.new to wallet.dat
Launch the new client. You should see an incoming transaction of your entire wallets previous balance in the first address.
