Ok so currently i have pac wallet on mine machine(ubunu 16.04) and i`m trying to install the new wallet, but the problem is that the old one is already created .paccoin folder, so by installing new one, i`ll override this folder which will be a problem. Does anyone facing this problem, or if its not can you give some contact to ask somewhere :?

As a rule, simple wallet upgrade does not need to change blockchain files and you can simply download the new wallet client and run.

To be safe, always go to <file> &<Back Up Wallet> to save a wallet.dat file.
You can also save a copy of the whole blockchain file folder:\...\paccoin\ and rename it to such as C:\...\old_paccoin\.
Even safer, you can go to console, get your private key by using <dumpprivkey "paccoin_address"> in the old wallet client & <importprivkey "paccoin_privkey"> in the new wallet client .

How I can open the wallet console?
Go to the Help menu and then select “Debug Window”, once you are there go to the Console tab.

Should I backup my wallet?
It’s important to make a copy of your wallet and of your private keys. In order to backup your wallet you just need to go to File -> Back Up Wallet and the save your file in a USB or offline source to keep it safe. As for your private keys a recommendation is to write them down and store it in a secure source.

Tip: Keep your coins on your wallet always not in exchange.

In case you have to import you wallet.

I have a backup of my wallet, how can I do the import?
Paccoin app has an export feature, but not an import feature, importing a wallet is a simple manual process on which first you need to localize your Paccoin app folder:
Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Paccoin
MacOsX: ~/Library/Application Support/
Once you find your folder, locate the wallet.dat, backup that file and replace it with your own backup, always make sure that the wallet is not running when restoring a backup of your wallet.dat.

 
Hope that these are helpful.

Thanks, Ill keep this handy.

What do we save the file as, meaning how to open it? As when I save it it save it under my freaking browser. Which cannot open the file. How should these be properly saved to open and read in order to reopen later as well as saved as backups. I can change how to open it on properties, but not sure this is accurate. I changed them all to word file.

Thanks,

The only file you need to save is Wallet.dat which is the file you save during a wallet backup. You can always save the backup file in a different name with the extension of .dat.

You don't have to sync the old wallet to get this wallet.dat which you can copy directly from the folder  C:\......\paccoin\.

 
Please note that I previously put the folder wrong in C:/..../paccoin/.

You can also use dumpprivkey / importprivkey for backup private key via debug console.

Gotcha, but what I am saying is when I save that file, it has an icon of my browser as it was saved into a file that cannot be read or loaded correctly.
What I am asking is how is that file stored or how should it be saved on our own PC's?

So example, when I backup my wallet, it asks me to name it, so i name it lets say PAC Wallet Backup1, it then saves a copy on my files and desktop, but with an Icon of Internet Explorer or Opera or Safari, my question is, why is it saving like that? I can then right click it and change how it opens, but when its initially saved its not a normal saving file on my documents. Its listed as a wallet.dat file but will not open properly if I have to restart my PC and reload my Wallet.

There is no file reader for wallet.dat file. Nobody can view it directly, probably due to encryption.
It would be great to have a file viewer working by entering the passphrase for the wallet file but there has been none that I know of.
To my knowledge, the only wallet.dat viewer is the wallet client itself.

OH - and the wallets have not been modified - especially not the exchanges like Bill is accusing.  That is false. 

To be clear, I never accused the exchanges of having modified versions, I was concerned because someone said a patch had been sent to the exchanges.

This was concerning to me because it after evaluating it, I noticed it caused blocks to merge together creating multiple blocks with the same blockheight, and I was unsure if the transactions were properly being disseminated to the network.

I sent some paccoin to yobit also, and after about a week it finally arrived. I assumed this was due to their efforts at rebuilding the blockchain.
I sent some more this morning, and it hasn't arrived. I have submitted a ticket, so we'll see whats happens.

To be on the safe side, go to your main drive, most likely c drive, go to users/your user name/ appdata/roaming/paccoin and look for wallet.dat. Copy that file and save it some where that you can retrieve it. That file is your coins.

Tell me - if my coins on yobit remain - what will happen to them?

They should be made available. Check with them to find out if there are any problems with the wallet.

[Aktarus]

Tell me - if my coins on yobit remain - what will happen to them?

Nothing will happen to your coins! Just keep them on Yobit, they are safe. But don't move them as the current wallet (and blockchain) are broken! Wait until the new wallet is released.

Well then you are part of the "New Developers", you cannot trash a cryptocoin without causing damage to consumer confidence in all cryptocoins.
