Thanks for this king_pin.
A nice simple step by step guide which will help the many newcomers to UTC over the last few months. Its an assumption by many here that most everyone knows all this stuff - but they don't and they are scared of screwing up and losing coins. Some will learn new things - some will just leave with a sour taste of UTC after they manage to move their coins again.
Personally I am not going to do any transactions or update wallets until the next hard fork and wallet update is out and tried and tested - confirmed good
and mining/network stable.
One other step we might add for clarification - when you unzip the zip file you get at .exe and an .msi file - which one do you run to update? People are scared of trial and error learning with coins at stake i.e.
1. Delete all files in %Appdata%\Ultracoin except
wallet.dat (
this is whre your coins are!)
2. Install
ultracoin_733_win32 -
that is run the msi? file (or the exe file)3. Create a file in %Appdata%\Ultracoin called
ultracoin.conf4. Add
nodes to the file (just add his text to it):
addnode=31.220.0.203
addnode=192.99.8.7
addnode=198.27.82.163
half the people out there don't know how to create a .conf file and edit it (so that process might be useful to add)
This feedback comes from following another coin (MYR) that had 3 timewarp exploits over the last few weeks and 2 hard forks with wallet updates that were required - most of the miners knew what to do - the rest of the coin holders just threw their hands up in exasperation and walked off - price halved!
The best way to install the wallet is:
1. Delete all files in %Appdata%\Ultracoin except wallet.dat (this is whre your coins are!)
2. Install ultracoin_733_win32
3. Create a file in %Appdata%\Ultracoin called ultracoin.conf
4. Add nodes to the file (just add his text to it):
addnode=31.220.0.203
addnode=192.99.8.7
addnode=198.27.82.163
This are the addresses of the pools.
If you get stuck on some block, restart the wallet, it usually helps.
