Is Bitcoin-qt v0.6.2-beta safe to use?

Because i really dont want to do that sync again unless I have to.

Syncing on the 8.X releases is much more painless than it was in the past.

And no.  After May 15 v0.6.2 is not safe to use.

But can I install the 8 version while still having the 6 version? Will there be any conflicts?

You'll need to exit 6 to install 8. 8 will overwrite 6.

If you want to be safe, yo ucan copy the qt folder that contains 6 to another place so you can run that if your install of 8 fails. That's what I did.

I'd recommend you do it before you head to sleep. That way your computer can sync up while you're in bed. It takes Fing forever.

shouldn't be since 0.6.2 and 8 use two different db to hold the blockchain.
