POS Switch FAQ's:
When is the switch to POS?
POS switch is planned for September 3rd 12 PM UTC time.
Will I lose my coins if Ieave it in an Exchange?
No, your coins will be safe in the exchanges, we even recommend that if you are a beginner, this might be the best option for you. Wallets will be offline September 2nd, one day before POS and 1-2 days after POS. You will be able to trade your coins in the exchanges, but you will not be able to deposit or withdraw. You may continue trading Unify as normal. Remember, 2FA all the way!
Will I lose my coins if I leave it in my desktop wallet?
No, your coins will be safe. You must download and run the new wallet when available:
1) Shut down and copy the wallet.dat file from the UNIFY folder to the UNIFYv2 folder in C: \ Users \ Yourusername \ AppData a few hours before the POS launch.
2) Start the new wallet and leave it online (if you have a wallet password, you must unlock it for staking).
3) You can also launch the new wallet after the POS phase is complete.
What about users coins who are in the mac and linux wallets?
They have to wait for the new wallets or move their wallet.dat to windows client.
Which desktop wallets will be avaiable after POS?
Windows wallet will be available shortly before POS starts. Mac, Linux, and others like the web wallet, paper wallet, android, and IOS wallets will become available afterwards.
How do I backup my wallet?
1) Easy option: Open wallet client, select File -> Backup wallet -> Select destination for backup wallet.dat
2) Second option: Go to appdata UNIFY folder and copy wallet.dat
It's recommended to have a copy of your wallet and have a password on it. NEVER share wallet.dat file with anyone.
How do I find the appdata folder?
The easiest way is to press "WINDOWS KEY + R" and type: %appdata% then OK.
I have a problem after downloading the old client, no file or can't open.
Some anti-virus programs detect false alerts during unpacking archive, so it's a good idea to turn off your anti-virus software for a moment or add a file to the anti-virus white list. Also, you may download winzip and use that program if you don't want to turn off your antivirus software.
