Hello!
Do I need to update my old wallet to the new format?? Can I lose my coins if I don't update it to the new 0.96 format?
edit:my offline build is pre 0.96

You'll be fine. There is no updating to do atm, the new wallet code is a companion to the legacy one. If you do not use the new script types (they're behind at least 1 click even in expert mode), your setup is fine. If you use the new scripts (one of which is for SegWit), you will have to update your signer to spend the change.

Ok. I do understand, Thank you. I'm with a broken online wallet ( broken pc) and an not updated offline wallet (signer), and I can't upgrade them for some days Sad
