Will there be any conflicts?You'll need to exit 6 to install 8. 8 will overwrite 6. If you want to be safe, yo ucan copy the qt folder that contains 6 to another place so you can run that if your install of 8 fails. That's what I did. I'd recommend you do it before you head to sleep. That way your computer can sync up while you're in bed. It takes Fing forever. Title: Re: Is Bitcoin-qt v0.6.2-beta safe to use?
