Update to v1.3.1

[eckomega]

Sorry about that. It's in the following location.

C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Sia-UI

Change YOUR_USERNAME to the username of the windows profile you're using. AppData is a hidden folder so you will need to either type the location in or "Show Hidden Folders" in file explorer. You can google how to do that. It's quite easy.

I recommend that everyone make regular backups of their roaming folder. I use Synkron, a free file-sync program, to backup the roaming folder to an external RAID array every 12 hours.

@eckomega I respected your instructions. I make the backup of roaming folder and followed the instructions.
Synchronization of the wallet was completed in 9 minutes. Great compared to the previous version, when the total time was 6 days.
Thank you.

@hq7878 sounds like a but, please open a ticket here https://github.com/NebulousLabs/Sia-UI/issues

[eckomega]

@rado
Cheers! Glad you're all set.

@hq7878
From what I've read, you need to manually configure your gateways from the terminal or command line. You'll have to dig around for this info. I know the link is in some posts on the forum and you can probably get some good feedback in the discord channel. Or just dig through all the forum and knowledge base first.

[OrlandoLasso]

Does the wallet have to be in your roaming folder or can it be in any folder?

[SandBlock]

@hq7878
Delete the everything here C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Sia-UI except the wallet folder and relaunch sia-ui to see if it fix this. (You can also delete the wallet folder if you know your seed). Change YOUR_USERNAME to the username of the windows profile you're using.

@OrlandoLasso
The wallet itself can be place anywhere, the roaming folder is the place where it stores all the important data. (wallet file, contract, consensus and more).The folder is extracted is just the program itself and can be deleted and redownload without affecting the important data.

[OrlandoLasso]

Okay, thanks. I deleted the files and I am running the new wallet. Hopefully the synch takes less than a few hours. Thanks.

[marshall104]

I have read through these instructions here and for the life of me my wallet will not sync. I have downloaded 1.3.1. Deleted the folder (Is this the roaming folder I am supposed delete?) opened the wallet and still not connecting to anythint.

I am doing something wrong but not sure what...Any help? suggestions?
