Multibit Classic Appears to Hang Up

[sandy56]

Currently, I am using Multibit Classic 0.5.18
(I think there is an update to 0.5.19 but I'll be darned if I can find it)
(Also, I have a 32 bit computer and know of no 32 bit MultibitHD version or I would consider using that)

At any rate I have been using the Classic successfully until today when it said it could not load my wallet and was going to the backup and now it seems to just hang up synchronizing.

Please Help. Thanks.

Had this a couple of times, try going to Tools>Reset Blockchain and Transactions to reset them. You should see it start synchronizing.

There are actually official 32bit releases of Multibit. Go to https://multibit.org/releases/multibit-hd/multibit-hd-0.3.0/ and choose the one without "x64".
Create a wallet on Multibit HD, keep a backup of the seeds and send all the coins from multibit classic to an address in MultiBit HD.

Thank you so much. After a whole night trying, I finally did find the MultiBit Classic update to 0.5.19.

I installed that, imported the keys, and it did sync at last.
As I understand it, I still need to keep a working version of the Classic for the keys I am currently using until I no longer need them.

Later, I will try the HD.

Thanks, again.

I thought my problems were over. Perhaps not.

It did sync as in my previous message, but the new wallet appears not to have been saved when I closed the application and the application would not close.

I am trying again?

Strange. I had no problems until yesterday.
