Topic: Regarding 0.8.1? (Read 393 times)
happy to help
you should be able to do the same with the new wallet as its not a major update just fixing issues mostly but a few people have had to let the block chain re download, it will do a rescan as soon as its installed of the block chain on your computer as usual
just make sure to have a good backup of you wallet incase the worst happens

For prior versions, I was able to download and extract the new one, and then move the .dat files over to the corresponding folders.... that way, when I opened the wallet client, it didn't have to re-download the entire blockchain and everything worked fine.
So my question with 0.8.1 is whether I can do the same as before, or is there something unique about it that I should let it reload the blockchain and just import my wallet and addresses?
Thanks in advance.
oh, and a side thought.... any suggestions on good 'how-to' guides and specs for newbies for setting up a USB wallet? Thanks.
