Instructions

We recommend starting a new wallet and clearing all existing files in your Zcoin data folder (remember to back up wallet.dat and export private keys. See below for more info!). This is because some legacy wallets still get stuck. In Windows this is typically in C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\zcoin while in Linux it should be in ~/.zcoin

First sync takes about a day but subsequent loads are very fast. You can also download the latest blockchain data at znode.io which speeds it up a little.

Just remember to backup your wallet.dat and to export any private keys on your old wallet with funds in them!

You can do this by going to Help > Debug Window > Console and typing the following:

walletpassphrase passphrase 120 (only if wallet is encrypted)
dumpprivkey address

Once you have your private key and your new wallet is synced u can import the private keys into it by:

walletpassphrase passphrase 120 (only if wallet is encrypted)
importprivkey yourPrivateKey "TheLabelThatIWant"

If you have any questions do drop by our Slack.

Known Bugs / Improvements

  • When syncing with existing wallet.dat. Sometimes wallet will get stuck at block 670. Restarting with a -reindex flag will push it forward.
  • When starting with wallet.dat but no other data, first time launch will crash but just open it up again and it will run fine.
  • When importing blockchain data from znode.io, wallet will appear to be Loading on splash screen and will take a long time. It is loading but no progress is visible but will eventually load. If your CPU is being consumed, it is loading and not stuck.
