Title: I installed Bitcoin v8 - What the heck is going on?
Post by: wingding on March 27, 2013, 06:27:58 PM
I downloaded the new version, copied the filed to a new dir and started it. Then it immediately seems to have copied all my old transactions, showing all my btc's from old wallet are on their way in. Whats going on?

It says 'reindexing blocks on disk'. So i believe it is just copying the alredy downloaded blockchain..?
