I use wallet 1.0.0.0g. Do I have to make a backup of my wallet, uninstall it, download the new wallet and move my wallet backup to the new folder?
Its always a smart idea to backup your wallet.dat.
I updated it the following way on Windows1) Made a backup out of the running wallet using the build in "backup" option
2) Closed the wallet and made a backup of %APPDATA%/altcommunitycoin
3) Deleted the old .exe
4) Downloaded the new .exe
5) Started it and verified that it display the correct version.
On Ubuntu with QT:1) Made a backup out of the running wallet using the build in "backup" option
2) Closed the wallet and made a backup of ~/.altcommunitycoin
3) Deleted the old
4) Downloaded the new file
5) Started it and verified that it display the correct version.
On Ubuntu headless:1) Copied the running wallet.dat to wallet.save (I always have a bad feeling copy a running file)
2) Closed the wallet and made a backup of ~/.altcommunitycoin
3) Deleted the old folder
4) Cloned the newest git from github
5) Compiled it
6) Started it and verified that it display the correct version.
