Bit Core v4.0.1.0 — wallet import in the GUI

New feature release of the independent OnlyPW series, on top of v4.0.0.1
(restore peer discovery). No consensus-relevant changes.

New: File → Import Wallet...

Core-style wallets keep everything in a single Berkeley DB wallet.dat which
is locked while the node runs — restoring it always required closing the app
and copying files by hand. The GUI now does this for you:

  1. File → Import Wallet… and pick a wallet .dat backup
  2. Confirm the dialog — your current wallet is backed up automatically as
    wallet.dat.bak-<timestamp> (nothing can be lost)
  3. The application shuts down cleanly, swaps in the imported wallet and
    restarts automatically with a rescan of the blockchain

Tested end-to-end on Windows (v4.0.1.0 build):

before: wallet.dat (old) + wallet-import.dat + .wallet-import-pending
clean shutdown via RPC
after:  wallet.dat (imported) + wallet.dat.bak-20260819060438
        bit-qt.exe relaunches itself with -rescan
second shutdown: no further restart (import marker consumed)

Peer discovery (unchanged from v4.0.0.1)

  • DNS seeds: seed1/seed2.followthebit.org
  • Fixed seeds: 167.86.89.107 / 45.146.252.138 / 92.42.45.220 (port 33317)
