Upgrade to BitGreen 1.3.2

This article will focus on the upgrade of your Desktop wallets to BitGreen 1.3.2 if you are still on 1.3.0 you will have to do some extra steps (see below first screenshot).

All masternodes will have to be redone. There is no foolproof script based migration path here that works for everyone. For all current Linux masternodes just destroy your servers/shut down the wallets.

Upgrade Desktop Wallets

Before you continue with anything shutdown the wallet. For Windows (Mac is similar the paths are just different) navigate to the BitGreen folder:

Just put %appdata%\Roaming\BitGreen in the address bar of your file browser and hit enter. If you don’t have this folder go for %appdata%\Roaming and look for the BitcoinGreen folder. Rename the folder to BitGreen and enter it. There you will have to also rename bitcoingreen.conf to bitgreen.conf

You will now see something similar to this:

Delete all Chain files so it looks like this:

Backup all those files somewhere save. They contain your coins! (Include the backups folder its nice to have)

Now download the bootstrap: https://explorer.bitg.org/bootstrap/chain.zip unpacke the file and put the contents into the folder above. This will sync you directly to the fork block without waiting to long.

Download the newest release from here at unpack/install it. If you are usingthe installer make sure to uninstall the old version first: https://github.com/bitgreen/bitgreen/releases

You can now start the new wallet and start stacking again.

DON’T TRUST ANY OTHER SOURCE OF DOWNLOAD!!!!!

For Mac users the path is different (Follow the steps above with the path below) and you might have to enable hidden folders to access the folders. Afterwards you can find it here:

~/Library/Application Support/BitGreen

Updating Masternodes:

All Masternodes have to be restarted. The current common way with the script setup is lacking usability and there is no clear foolproof path for migration as everyone still sets up their stuff different. Therefore we have developed a new way of setting up masternodes consitently. A few people in our community already tested it successfully.

As the new setup is totally different from the old one and uses docker instead of a multitude of scripts: Destroy the servers you are exclusively using for BITG. If you have other Nodes on there shut down the wallets.

Use this script: https://gitlab.com/snippets/1862727 if you have multiple nodes just execute it multiple times. This will ake future upgrades easy with a single command to use.

Addnode in case of sync issues

Copy and paste the following into your bitgreen.conf

addnode=173.199.90.115
