yes, delete everything but the wallet.dat.

Thank you so much for the reply. That I know how to do (and have done many times).

Just so I know I'm on the same page, do I run the exact same wallet software that I currently have, or has there been an updated version I need to upgrade to?

Any devcoin software version should work if you remove the content of the subdirectories first. I tested a couple on Windows and Linux and they all synced well.

So there is no updated version of the DVC wallet? That is what I'm assuming. I'm running the same wallet version I've had for years. It's about halfway through downloading the blockchain. So far so good.

Wiser: correct, the last release of the wallet should be fine as well as the preceding one.

Thank you for the confirmation. My wallet is still syncing--I'm hoping it will be all done by tomorrow.

Cool! For anyone else needing a wallet:

I confirmed this! It is working now.

If you start with an empty wallet, you will sync to present day.

CTYA

I am not sure if I must be doing something wrong? I have a new install, empty wallet and still it says no block source available. Sorry to be a pain but can you advise what I should do next?

no pain at all!

If you installed devcoin on this machine previously, you should find the location of the devcoin software and remove the directories in that folder

For example, on my Windows 10 machine, Devcoin was at c:\users\ctya\appdata\roaming\devcoin
So I made a backup of the wallet.dat in that folder, then deleted the contents.
Finally, once that directory is clear, start devcoin.exe again and you should start syncing.

As an alternative, installing the Windows wallet from devcoin.org on a machine that has never had the Devcoin windows wallet before seems to also work well.

CTYA

I'm about to give this a whirl. Would it work if I deleted everything but the wallet.dat file? I'd like to preserve my wallet file. However, if it truly has to be an empty wallet, I could at least sync up the block chain and then swap in the original wallet.dat. Would that work? Or would it be better to just import private keys into the new wallet? I'll be setting this up for tonight, so my wallet can be downloading the blockchain at night and not holding up my computer activity during the day. Please advise on the best pathway. Thanks
