Version 0.31
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
version 0.31 fixes a vulnerability in the key generation function.
|
||
|
|
Unfortunately, this means that wallets created prior to 0.31 are
|
||
|
|
incompatible with newer versions. We apologize for the
|
||
|
|
inconvenience. We try to keep this kind of upgrades as rare as
|
||
|
|
possible.

If you use an older wallet, you will see a message asking you to
|
||
|
|
create a new wallet and to move your balance to the new wallet.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here are the steps that you need to follow:
|
||
|
|
* create a new wallet: electrum.py -w my_new_wallet.dat
|
||
|
|
* copy a receiving address from the new wallet
|
||
|
|
* open your old wallet:
|
||
|
|
* move your entire balance to the new address.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that you may keep your current seed. For this, all you need to do
|
||
|
|
is to create the new wallet using the wallet recovery procedure. You
|
||
|
|
will not recover your old wallet with the new software, but you will
|
||
|
|
get a new wallet instead.
