In this guide we explain how to update your StakeCubeCoin (SCC) core wallet from v2.1.0 to v3.0.1:
Since the update is a swap that starts a new chain, we assume you have moved all your SCC from your personal wallet to a third party service.
How to update:
Do NOT send SCC from the old chain to an address on the new chain!!!
- Remove/delete your complete data-directory (you can take a backup, if you want):
- Windows default path: C:\Users\$username\AppData\Roaming\StakeCubeCoin
- Linux default path: ~/.stakecubecoin/
- Mac default path: ~/users/$username/Library/ApplicationSupport/StakeCubeCoin
- Download the latest wallet release for your operating system here
- Start the executable
- Choose a location for the blockchain data or simply continue with “OK” to use the default path
- Wait for the wallet to sync and verify you are on the right chain by comparing your block height and hash with an explorer
- Encrypt your wallet with a strong password via Settings -> Encrypt Wallet
- Make sure to remember your password. If you forget it, all coins will be lost!
- Never share your password with anyone!
- The wallet will shutdown after setting the passphrase
- Restart your wallet and the update is ready
Optional but highly recommended for your security:
- Go to your blockchain data directory, navigate to the backups folder and delete the first auto-created backup file named like wallet.dat.2020-xx-xx-xx-xx (this contains your private keys but is not yet encrypted)
- Create a separate backup of your wallet.dat file from the wallets sub-folder
Do NOT send SCC from the old chain to an address on the new chain!!!
