[$XVG] VERGE [POW][MultiAlgo][TOR/i2P][no premine/ico!]

[Dogedarkdev]

Hi I was wondering If I can get some help here. I held my Verge in My old wallet V 4.0 wraith. It's been a while since I started checking my cryptos. What is the best way for me to upgrade to new wallet. Can I just save my wallet.dat file, uninstall old wallet and install latest wallet and just copy my wallet file to new wallet? Will this work? Thank you.

yes, that's exactly what you would do. just sync the new verge wallet, then close it, and replace its wallet.dat with your old one, and start it back up.

I'm in the same situation as nspire210, but I have no idea how to uninstall the 4.0 wallet on Windows.

I had already downloaded the new 6.0.1 wallet before finding this post (of course wallet didn't sync because of the old 4.x blockchain).  Will I need to uninstall the new 6.0.1 as well and redownload after uninstalling everything?

I have my backup saved, just need to know what/how to do the next steps

just delete the old chain data, with exception to wallet.dat (while the wallet is NOT running of course)

I still have the old Electrum Windows wallet and for the last few months I have had problem with syncing the wallet. The network button always stays red. Is this wallet still supported? If not, is there any guide how I can merge to a new wallet?
Thank you.

Thank you.

you have a few options. our tor electrum is still supported, or you can export the private keys from that wallet you have, and import them into a qt desktop wallet.

desktop wallets can be found here:

I downloaded and installed the 6.0.2 wallet. Opened the wallet and closed. Downloaded and moved the blockchain data. Now the wallet shows I am 2 days behind but it's not syncing. I have 0 active connections to Verge network.
Is there any guide that would help me to set this up?
Thank you

you probably need to delete the peers.dat (while the wallet is closed)

I was able to connect and sync with the Electrum Tor wallet but no luck with the QT desktop wallet 6.0.2. I even tried 2 different computers, reinstalling the wallet and blockchain data, deleting "peers.dat". It just doesn't connect and not syncing. Kind of lost at this point. Not sure what the problem might be.

do you have tor running seperately? that would prevent the tor inside the wallet from connecting. are you in a country that blocks tor?

try starting your wallet with verge-qt.exe --dynamic-network

Thank you for your help. I finally figured it out.
Seems like AT&T (ISP in US) is restricting the connection even though the old Electrum Tor is connecting fine.
My friend who has Comcast (Another ISP in US) installed the QT wallet and connected right away so I tried connecting via T-Mobile hotspot and also connected/synced up right away.

great. thats strange though. US shouldnt have any issues with Tor. maybe try restarting the computer, or trying --dynamic-network or --without-tor

Why the heck would a new install of the unsigned Windows wallet cause an application fault with Nod32, Malwarebytes and Chrome? It's a little suspicious that all three crash at the same time.

it would not. our wallet is open source, and shouldn't cause any application faults.

did you download it from the official website https://vergecurrency.com/wallets/ or https://github.com/vergecurrency/verge/releases/ ? those are the only 2 sources to download our wallet.

at the same time, i've never heard of anyone running Nod32 and Malwarebytes at the same time. You should consider looking into that, as many anti virus packages will conflict with each other if running at the same time.

here's an article from Kaspersky, who says its a very bad idea to run multiple anti viruse software packages at the same time:

https://www.kaspersky.com/blog/multiple-antivirus-programs-bad-idea/2670/

(my guess would be that both anti virus are trying to scan the file at the same time, and of course that would cause a conflict)

i saw the irony there as well lol
