New wallet fixing Yobit withdrawal problemWell - I said less than 24 hours for a fix and here it is less than 2 hours later!!!
Yobit has the new wallet and a test was done of a withdrawal.
TimC suggested that if you do a dumpprivkey in console (carefully copy and paste it into a text file), you could avoid the hastle of step #7 if you run into problems. Note: once you export the private key, anyone with access to it could take your coins - best to save it in a text file on a flash drive. The private key is litterally the key to your coins. Anyone with it could import your coins and move them. If you are not comfortable with dumpprivkey - go through steps 1 - 6 and ask for help if needed
Read all steps before you start!!!1.
Change name of wallet.dat and/or Backup wallet.dat (in AppData-Roaming-FlyCoin)
with a name like wallet.dat.FlyCoins
2. Delete all files in Roaming-FlyCoin
except your wallet.dat.FLYcoins
This is necessary due to new nodes (coded in wallet) and peers. (Do not use the old nodes in the Ann).
3.
Click on this link to new Wallet http://www.keesdewit.nl/FlyCoin-qt.zip3. It is a good idea to keep a copy of the old wallet in case you need it - you could remane it flycoin-qt.exe.old
Put new wallet in location of present Flycoin wallet-qt and Start new Wallet & re-synch
If your wallet gets stuck on re-synch - just close and re-open (mine got stuck around 21,000 blocks)
My wallet re-synched in 1/2 the time it took to write this)
4. Close your wallet again
5. Go back to the Roaming Folder-FlyCoin and delete the newly created empty wallet.dat
(not the wallet.dat.FlyCoin) then, re-name wallet.dat.Flycoin to wallet.dat -
keep a copy of wallet.dat.Flycoin somewhere in case you need it
6. Re-open wallet - should be good
Edit: 7. We have had a couple reports of not being able to reopen the wallet after
re-naming wallet.dat.flycoin to wallet.dat - this happened to me in a previous Flycoin version and also in another coin.
The fix is go back to the previous working version - export priv key - reinstall new wallet with empty wallet.dat
and import priv key. You will then need to do a new name claim because the old wallet address will be empty
If you need a previous version see a previous presstab post with the link or ask here on thread.
I will be on a plane to Florida Thursday and checking in here after 5 pn Easten time US

Hello - I am having the same crash issue. I will be following the same steps to dump the privatekey as wood outline a few posts above. I will edit the post with my results.
Thanks for notice on PM. I'd like to share my experience from switching to newest version of wallet, maybe it will help someone.
