Title: I am running 11.0 how do I go to 11.2?
Post by: philipma1957 on December 10, 2015, 11:33:59 AM
I know the slow way  just delete and start from beginning. takes a long time. P.I.T.A.

I run a full node 24/7

I have been poking at my 11.0 and don't see an upgrade setting.

So do I do it all over again?

Or is there some kind of upgrade that I am missing.

#1 close bitcoin core
#2 install latest version
#3 continue with old wallet file, blockchain data and settings.

Do you build yourself? (git etc.)

Otherwise just install the latest binary the same way you installed 11.0.

In linux, just paste the new bin over the old one and it's done, I assume it's similar with other systems.

All these years you've been deleting everything every time you upgrade to a new version?

no I used coinbase and blockchain info for wallets and did not run a node.

I recently started running a node this summer and as I have 9 computers I ran two  9.? then 11.0 I just did them on 2 different computers
