⚠️ CRITICAL NOTES

Before Proceeding

Make a backup copy of your current wallet.dat file (with your wallet core safely shutdown)

Our binaries were compiled from source using Ubuntu 18.04 for maximum compatibility.

Code and builds were also tested to work well with Ubuntu 20.04

Code will build on Ubuntu 22.04 and Ubuntu 24.04, but not enough testing has been done yet to ensure, proper functionality. Mainly, sync itself may have issues. Otherwise it should work.

If you already had a fully synced node, smartnode, or wallet:
Only keep the following in your .bitoreumcore folder:

Files:

• wallet.dat
• powcache.dat
• bitoreum.conf

You will need to do either -reindex when launching the wallet in command line:
Example

./bitoreumd -reindex

OR by adding reindex=1 to your bitoreum.conf file. It is strongly advised to do a full resync from zero to force update indexes. To do so, remove all but bitoreum.conf, powcache.dat and wallet.dat from your datadir, and launch the core wallet after doing that. New indexes will be built properly on fresh sync. Using powcache.dat speeds up the sync considerably, as your wallet does not have to calculate powhash to every block during sync. Instead it would use already available index for it. (powcache.dat provided below)

If this is your first time at fight club...
Please use powcache.dat to sync, or syncing headers may take several days.
A new bootstrap will be provided after block 834600 once the network stabilizes.

Footnotes

The Crystal, in Crystal Bitoreum is an inhouse distinction used to differentiate the original Core Wallet and developers, from the new Core Wallet and developers.

The coins naming conventions Bitoreum and coin call symbol, $BTRM, have remained the same

The PI version is experimental! Use at your own risk!!!
