Upgrading and downgrading

How to Upgrade

If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely
shut down (this could take a few minutes), then run the installer (on Windows)
or just copy over /Applications/Paycoin-Qt (on Mac) or paycoind/paycoin-qt (on Linux).

If you encounter any issues starting the new wallet it is recommended that you delete and resync the blockchain. To delete the blockchain look in the
Paycoin data directory (listed below) and delete everything except the wallet.dat and paycoin.conf

Linux : ~/.paycoin/

Windows : %appdata%\Paycoin

Mac : ~/Library/Application Support/Paycoin

It is highly recommended that if you do not have a backup of your wallet.dat
to go ahead and make one before deleting the blockchain.

The listed directories are the defaults, if using the datadir flag make sure to
look in the assigned directory.

If after the blockchain is synced you find your balance is incorrect please run:

repairwallet

If using the daemon this can be done the same as any other command, for QT users
please proceed to help > debug window > console and enter the command from there
(you may press escape to close out of the console).

Downgrading warning

Downgrading to a version prior to 0.3.3.0 will break network compatibility and
cause nodes to disconnect from the network.

Notable changes

Microprime balance and rate modifications

Reduces microprime rates from 25% to 10% over a 90 day period.
At 120 days reduce microprime rate to 40% of the primenode rate.

Changes the required balance on the microprime to match the microprime stake
group at the same time as the fork.

Resolves sync issues

Fixes multiple issues with syncing related to both stalling and slow syncing.
