NLA - Next Level Africa UPDATE
Hi Everyone,
We do have some news that we can share.
This is going to be a long update so please, please read it very carefully.
The NLA member site has been down then back up. They are working on the site so you will notice the site not available at times.
The data base is being moved over to a system called MariaD8
For those of you who like techy stuff, here's a bit of info on this:
MariaDB Server is one of the most popular database servers in the world. It’s made by the original developers of MySQL and guaranteed to stay open source. Notable users include Wikipedia, WordPress.com and Google.
MariaDB turns data into structured information in a wide array of applications, ranging from banking to websites. It is an enhanced, drop-in replacement for MySQL.
MariaDB is used because it is fast, scalable and robust, with a rich ecosystem of storage engines, plugins and many other tools make it very versatile for a wide variety of use cases.
MariaDB is developed as open source software and as a relational database it provides an SQL interface for accessing data. The latest versions of MariaDB also include GIS and JSON features.

Cwallet Instructions:
PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRELY BEFORE DOING ANYTHING WITH YOUR WALLET
Locate your wallet back up from where you saved it.
IF you have made a back up and not done anymore transactions then you do NOT need to do another wallet back up.
IF you are in doubt where your wallet back up is, just do another. It does not matter if your wallet is in sync or not to do this.
IF you don't know where your wallet back up is -- don't do anything until you find it or do another.
Deleting Your Wallet:
Locate your NextLevelAfrica V3.1 wallet file in your Roaming folder.
Find your Roaming folder by doing a search in your computer for %appdata%
Right click on the NextLevelAfrica folder and delete.
Go and download your new wallet from the CEX.
When it downloads you may have to click to allow it to open.
Click the Next Level Africa file icon to open the file.
Click Extract All and the icon will change to the Grey coin icon.
Click that icon to open the wallet.
The grey wallet icon will be on your task bar now so right click and pin it there.
Exit out of the wallet.
Adding Your Wallet Backup file:
Find your backup and make sure that it is labled either wallet.dat OR wallet Each computer is different so you need to pay attention to the extension that it was saved as.
If needed, rename your file to JUST wallet.dat or wallet.
Right click and copy
Go to your Roaming folder again and open the NextLevelAfrica file folder.
Down in the white space below where the contents of the folder is, click paste.
A window will pop up asking you if you want to replace the file... Yes you do.
Restart your computer.
Click on the grey icon on your task bar to open your wallet and let it sync.
It may take upwards of 2 hours to complete and you may see your coin balance if you have coins in it, go up and down. This is normal! Your coin balance will be what ever you had in there when you did the backup.
If you are VERY comfortable to help others, please do. We're all a team and need to work together.
Thank you!
