Getting Started with 4.22.x
Upgrading from 3.10.x
If you are running an older version, shut it down.
Wait until it has completely shut down (which might take a few minutes in some cases),
then run the installer (on Windows) or just copy over /Applications/Reddcoin-Qt (on Mac)
or reddcoind/reddcoin-qt (on Linux).
The first time you run Reddcoin version 4.22.x or newer,
- The chainstate UTXO database will be converted to a new format, which will take anywhere from a few minutes to half an hour, depending on the speed of your machine.
- The txindex db will need to be migrated the first time you run 4.22.x or newer, which may take up to a few hours. Your node will not be functional until this migration completes.
2023-10-11T07:18:45Z : Corrupted block database detected. Please restart with -reindex or -reindex-chainstate to recover.
Upgrading directly from a version of Reddcoin Core that has reached its EOL is possible, but it might take some time if the data directory needs to be migrated. Old wallet versions of Reddcoin Core are generally supported.
Downgrading warning
The chainstate database for this release is not compatible with previous
releases, so if you run 4.22.5 and then decide to switch back to any
older version, you will need to run the old release with the -reindex-chainstate
option to rebuild the chainstate data structures in the old format.
Compatibility
Reddcoin Core is supported and extensively tested on operating systems using the Linux kernel, macOS 10.12+, and Windows 7 and newer. Reddcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not as frequently tested on them. It is not recommended to use Reddcoin Core on unsupported systems.
Support for Windows 32bit systems has been depreciated. Binaries are provided for Windows 64bit systems only.
From Reddcoin Core 4.22.0 onwards, macOS versions earlier than 10.12 are no longer supported. Additionally, Reddcoin Core does not yet change appearance when macOS "dark mode" is activated.
Users running macOS Catalina may need to "right-click" and then choose "Open" to open the Reddcoin Core .dmg. This is due to new signing requirements imposed by Apple, which the Reddcoin Core project does not yet adhere too.
