Updating to v1.8.5 assistance
« on: December 06, 2013, 06:40:08 AM »
Hi everyone. Just hoping someone could let me know the process for upgrading the qt client. Is it a matter of obvisously backing up wallet.dat, installing old version, download new version and import .dat into appdata/roaming/infinitecoin folder?

thanks

1.  Backup all the files in the same folder with wallet.dat (including wallet.dat)
2.  Clear this folder of everything EXCEPT wallet.dat
3. Open 1.8.5 client and let it sync.

You should be good to go.

Heya, thanks for replying.

Bit unsure what you mean. go to appdata/raoming/infinitecoin where all the folders are ( and back all of these up and then delete everything?

Yes. After you back up clear the folder of everything EXCEPT your wallet.dat file. Then start the new client. Let it sync. If it hangs try reloading a few times.
