If your running on windows, and you had dogeD installed and synced, you can just delete everything in the appdata/roaming verge directory, and copy everything from the doged directory. Then you don't have to sync. It worked for me.
Thanks Chilly!
Worked like a champ. Only thing I did was change the conf file name to VergeCoin.conf
Also sent 500 coins as a test to bittrex BEFORE I downloaded and installed new Verge wallet. Coins made it no problem.
I've never seen a Dev on the ball like this one. This whole change thing had me a little concerned but WOW.....just WOW.
Kudos and applause!
