Version 0.9.1.60 of Credits client released. Major update, shrinking working dir to 7.7GB!A new release of the Credits client is out now. This version is a major refactoring that will trim the working dir to a fraction of the previous size.
Updates in this release:- Version number bumped to *.60.
- Further stability improvements have been done to address the problematic "claim tip" error.
The working directory bitcoin_chainstatecla will be merged with the credits_chainstate directory.
This change requires a reindex of the working directory, or downloading an up to date
version of the working directory from a torrent.
- The Bitcoin blockchain will be trimmed once all Bitcoin blocks have been parsed. This will save
a substantial amount of space on disk, the working directory will be approximately 7.7GB instead of 45GB.
- Continued renaming of internal code base from Bitcredit to Credits.
--------------------------------
How to UpgradeNOTE! Starting with version 0.9.1.60 the Bitcoin block chain will be trimmed to preserve
spaces, unless the option bitcoin_trimblockfiles has been set to 0. If a reindex
is done, or initialization done from a clean install, the download process will require 22GB
free on disk, which shrinks to about 7.7GB when the syncing of the working directory has finished.
NOTE 2! If you are upgrading from a version of Credits that is lower than 0.9.1.51, the
working directory could still be called Bitcredit or .bitcredit, depending on operating
system. You have to rename the directory yourself.
The default working directories are:
For Windows: C:/Users/
/AppData/Roaming/Bitcredit
For Ubuntu/Linux: /.bitcredit
For Mac: /Users//Library/Application Support/Bitcredit
And should be renamed to:
For Windows: C:/Users//AppData/Roaming/Credits
For Ubuntu/Linux: /.credits
For Mac: /Users//Library/Application Support/Credits
If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely
shut down (which might take a few minutes for older versions), then run the
installer (on Windows) or just copy over /Applications/Credits-Qt (on Mac) or
creditsd/credits-qt (on Linux).
!!!BEFORE YOU START THE WALLET, MAKE SURE TO MAKE BACKUP COPIES OF THE FILES CREDITS_WALLET.DAT
AND BITCOIN_WALLET.DAT, IF YOU HAVE A PREVIOUS INSTALLATION.!!!
Once installation is done, we highly recommend you to bootstrap the blockchain download and sync by downloading an up to date working directory:
Quick initialisation from torrent file
