how does the back up file work as i want too make sure it works before i delete all the silkcoin data as i had 28300 coins in it?i did back it up but not too sure how it works
When clicking backup in the 'actions' tab. It will ask you save a copy of your wallet. Just place it in a folder you think is safe, and after saving, open that folder and verify that it is there. You can tell the differences between .dat files by their size. Generally the longer you've been on the blockchain and more silk you have in it the larger the file.
After you've verified that it has been backed up properly (for eg. i might start a new folder on my desktop entitled silk resources, backup into that folder temporary. long term, better to keep the wallet backed up onto a flash drive) follow the uninstallation process.
Most users should be just able to
1. Search %appdata%
2. Double click roaming
3. Double click and enter silkcoin folder
4. Delete everything in silkcoin folder except wallet.dat
5. Run new installer.
If runtime error exists repeat uninstallation process, but also use silkcoin uninstaller and restart computer.
ALWAYS ENSURE YOU'RE WALLET.DAT IS BACK UP AND VERIFIED IN FOLDER YOU SAVED IT TO BEFORE UNINSTALLING!
And if your wallet.dat is safely stored. So is all your silk.
