When i revert back to my old wallet my coins show up but it wont sync as it gets stuck on blockchain 855838.
When i try just to install the new wallet without removing %appdata%\roaming\ultracoin it just gets stuck on the new Ultracoin logo splash-screen. After an hour I stopped the process and presumed it had crashed.
Not slept all night trying to resolve this. Any ideas?
when you removed:
did you wait that all blocks was updated? All coins wont show up until all is update. That happened for me and all is now showing up.
its been downloading the blockchain all night - at 68% currently - i hope so - will inform you all the outcome
Your wallet will be fine. Your money will show up. The new version uses the same BDB version wallet.dat files as the previous.
It is much faster and doesn't tax the network if you are patient and let it read the blocks directly from the blockchain file on the hard disk. Unfortunately the mechanism that does this does not report anywhere. Once you start it up and the splash screen shows it will appear to have hung but it is converting your block data to the new format. If you look at the file sizes in your AppData\Roaming\UltraCoin folder in your profile you can the new v2 files growing. If you have a slow PC it could take several hours. I heard someone report that theirs took 5 hours. It will be almost done once the size of the new blk-v2-0001.dat file is around the same as the blk-v1-0001.dat file. In the future I may set up the conversion process so that it doesn't block IO and either adds a progress window or sets a conversion state using the existing window.
