MANDATORY WALLET UPDATE RELEASE - V2.1.0
Please download the latest version v2.1.0 from - https://www.github.com/EpicCrypto/Epic/releases
To update to the new wallet follow these steps:
- Backup your current (v2.0.0) wallet.dat
- Download the new wallet - v2.1.0
- Delete the old v2.0.0 .exe
- Install and run the new v2.1.0 .exe
- All your local files (%appdata% files) should not have to be touched, just the .exe file will be changed.
If you have coins on mynodepool or mystakingwallet:
- You will receive further instructions from them via email.
- Essentially you will just have to login to your account, restart your masternode, and unlock your wallet for staking again. Again, this will be done once you receive an email from them.
- If your coins are on MNP nothing needs to be done on your end.
If you have coins on our other masternode hosting sites:
- You will have to set your MNs up manually again through their site.
If you have your own VPS for your Masternodes:
- Login to your epic VPS.
- Run -
bash <( curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EpicCrypto/Epic-MN-Install/master/refresh.sh ) - “Start alias” for each masternode in the local wallet.
- No need to delete old MN files and resend coins.
For staking:
- Nothing needs to be done, just unlock wallet for staking after you download and run the new v2.1.0 wallet.
We are in the queue on CryptoBridge for the wallet update. Whenever that is completed we will inform everyone. Deposits and withdrawals are still disabled at this time.
The reason we have this mandatory update is to patch an exploit in our coding. We forked from BITG, and there were a few lines of coding commented out. Those lines were a checks system to ensure that inputs = outputs and no one could create coins out of thin air. When we first found out about the commented out lines in the BITG code, we looked at our code and it too was commented out. We wrote those lines back in and thankfully all that was required was a .exe update. We appreciate everyone working with us as we got this fix situated.
