Client restarts or OS restarts or both? I am working on 5 or 6 times now of the client restart.
-Dave
Client restarts. It went on for a couple of days iirc. Something - probably task manager - convinced me that it was making progress. Re-download and install the latest version again, there was small fix to the binary, which fix the issue for Windows full nodes. https://github.com/byteball/obyte-gui-wallet/releasesThat is the version I am running. Downloaded it Saturday when it was posted. Still going..... -Dave |

Come on, why would anyone do that? The only time I don't even do a .001 revision number change is if it's just a text file change that has no important info. Updated Wed afternoon (probably about 3 or 4 hours after your post) and it's still going Friday AM. So that was not it. -Dave |

@tarmo888 as you said task manager shows that obyte is still running.
Going to let it sit and run unless someone else has another idea.

That's normal if you have full node, there was no syncing while converting, but it looks like you are very close to catch up now. |

No problem with that, but it was current when I installed the new version on March 8th. It went back to early Feb for the download. Possibly earlier, I don't know when it finished the update and started to download the chain vs. when I actually checked on it. -Dave |

Ok team... I've been out of the loop with OByte for over a year. I have a "backup" of the old sqlite files...  And I also have the original seed words for my wallet... am I likely to be able to fully recover everything (ie. blackbytes and tokens etc)? |

Yes, just install the latest wallet app and replace the folder contents where you copied these, the data folder and database files are still called byteball, no change in that. You seem to have full node, so I hope you have SSD drive because converting that to latest version can take 2-4 hours on SSD drive and many days on HDD. Once the converting is done, it needs to catch up with syncing, which can take a day on SSD or week on HDD. If you decide to not want the full node anymore, you could catch up with syncing and then transfer all your assets to light node wallet. Much easier would be recovering with seed words on light node, but that won't restore private assets (blackbytes), smart-contracts and multi-sig wallets. So if you have those, don't restore with seed words. Also make sure you update your witness list, it has change quite lot, so after a while the wallet will run out of options to find parent units. |

hanks for the headsup... guess I'm in for a "world of wait" then... I do have an SSD, but I originally symlinked the data storage from "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\byteball" to other storage due to space concerns... that other storage is an HDD.  And yes, unfortunately I went the "full node"... I've kinda been regretting it ever since tbh... I think I'll setup up a new light node and move things around once I get this all synced up again. Also make sure you update your witness list, it has change quite lot, so after a while the wallet will run out of options to find parent units.
Thanks for the heads-up. |

If you have 70GB free on SSD, maybe you could copy it to SSD and do the upgrade and syncing on it instead? The fresh full sync is only 50GB at the moment, but since you are upgrading from existing full node, it might grow to 70GB. |

Yeah... I'm not so "storage space poor" right at this point in time... so I installed 3.0.3, started it up to create folders etc on the main SSD drive and then shut it down. After it was shutdown, I copied over the files from the old HDD storage to SSD, then started Obyte back up. At that point, I got two messages. The first was that it was updating the database and would take hours... the second was mostly obscured by the database update message, but eventually I deduced that it was actually a "fatal exception" about using an old backup or keys from another device... when I clicked "OK", the wallet shutdown. I restarted, and it gave me the "updating the database" message again, but no exception... after several hours, it finished, showed all my old balances (including BlackBytes and the probably defunct TitanCoin and SilentNotary tokens) and is now currently syncing away:  I might symlink it all back to the HDD once it has finished syncing. Will have to see how much SSD space I have left after it's all done. |
