New v2.1.7 Wallet UpdateOfficial NON-MANDATORY (but recommended) v2.1.7 wallet update has been released with many stability & bug fixes.
NOTE: Due to some critical changes, it will attempt to re-index your current blockchain when you first launch the new wallet with your existing blockchain.
If this fails, this means that your existing chain may be no good and you will need to resync from scratch to ensure you get a good copy of the blockchain from your peers.
Changelog- Stability Fixes
- Fix Re-Index
- UI Transaction Sorting Update
- Multisend Fix
- Checkpoint added
- Update Translations
How to Update0. As always, backup the existing wallet to a safe location if you haven't done so already.
(File -> Backup wallet or ./pivx-cli backupwallet)
1. Download the appropriate wallet binary for your OS from link below.
https://github.com/PIVX-Project/PIVX/releases/tag/v2.1.72. Overwrite the existing executable files with the newly downloaded wallet binaries.
(this can vary greatly depending on your current OS, use of non-default folders etc)
(if you require assistance in this area, please ask in #support channel in PIVX Slack)
3. Re-start the wallet. If prompted to re-index, then let it re-index. (or may do it automatically)
If #3 is successful and your wallet launches fine, you are done!
If #3 fails to re-index your blockchain or wallet fails to load, follow next steps:
4. Close your current wallet. (File -> Exit or ./pivx-cli stop)
5. From your data folder, delete the "blocks" and "chaninstate" folders. (Only those 2)
(feel free to rename them as a temporary backup if you want but they aren't critical)
(default folder locations for each operating systen are listed below this guide)
6. Re-start the wallet. Done! It will now take a while to resync back from the network.
