I already have 3 old wallets... And they are *not* bug-fixes: they are true developments and improvements! And a new one is coming... September 10th? You need the new wallet!

SonicScrewdriver with TimeVortex Version 2

With TimeVortex Version 2, SonicScrewdriver is the first cryptocurrency to combine cryptographic transaction anonymity with the privacy protection of Tor. This combination prevents both analysis of the blockchain and of the network, providing total privacy protection for SSD users. No other coin offers this level of privacy protection.

This new wallet update also improves performance by using the extremely fast Leveldb database to track transaction information. Leveldb has recently been added to bitcoin to improve its performance, in light of bitcoin's ever increasing usage.


URGENT UPDATE REQUIRED
As of 12AM 9-10-2014 GMT all previous versions can disconnect from Main Net due to changes in Transactions.
The Time Vortex v.2 is built into this build but will not become available until 12AM 9-10-2014 GMT. You will also be unable to generate Time Vortex Addresses until such time.

Changelog:

• Qt Version 2.0 with TimeVortex V.2
• Leveldb

Update Procedure:

• Step 1: Close running client
• Step 2: Open Application Directory
   
  • Windows: %appdata%\sonicscrewdriver
  • Linux: ~/.SonicScrewdriver
  • MAC: /Users/<yourusernamehere>/Library/Application Support/SonicScrewdriver
• Step 3: Move your wallet.dat file to a separate directory
  • Backing up but not removing wallet.dat can cause first sync with levelbd to take a long time if you have a lot of transactions
• Step 4: Download New QT
• Step 5: Remove Existing QT via uninstall or file removal depending on OS and Previous Installation Method
• Step 6: Install New QT
• Step 7: Wait for Wallet to Sync
  • This step can take a while depending on number of transactions in wallet.dat and if you moved the wallet.dat file as suggested in Step 3
• Step 8: Close down QT
• Step 9: Move wallet.dat backup back to Application data folder. See step 2 for default Folder locations
• Step 10: Fire up QT again and verify balance is correct, if not open console and type 'clearwallettransactions' once that is finished type 'scanforalltxns' This can take a while as all blocks are checked for transactions related to contents of wallet.dat

Wallet Links:

• Automatic Windows Install Run Installer. Be sure to remove previous versions if you had done Automatic Installs before as file names and folder directories have changed
• Manual Windows Install Just unzip
• Mac DMG Mount and Drop into Application folder

FAQ:

• What is Level DB and why is it important.
  • Level DB is a fast persistent key-value store. Originally written by Google.
  • I went to this for the transaction database because it is faster. On slower equipment you will notice a marked speedup in sync times as well as boot up time for the wallet.
  • As a slight side-note since it is switching database types you will notice a chain re-sync is required to create the new database

• What is A TimeVortex Address?
  • A TimeVortex Address is a special type of receiving address that you give as a receiving address which will not appear in the block-chain. This address is used to calculate a receiving address that can be unlocked by the receiver with a spend key. This process happens with the wallet automatically and a new receive address is generated when the transaction goes through.
  • This required a change to the transaction checks which would be rejected by previous clients and is why I put a time check into the wallet that unlocks after the 10th

If, after the upgrade, the wallet keeps crashing...

Has anyone found their windows qt client keeps crashing after starting ok and being left to run? widows says it stopped working and it closes.

Haha, that's what we've been talking about for a few pages.

Solution:

For anyone reading, his solution was correct.  Obviously, backup your wallet before making any changes to it.

Create a new address.  Send the balance (maybe break it into smaller payments if it's a huge balance) of your wallet to that address.  Go to help->debug.  Go to console.  dumpprivkey youraddress.  Copy that into a txt file.  Backup that wallet and move it out of your appdata/roaming/sonicscrewdriver folder.  Start wallet with no wallet.dat.  Go to help->debug->console.  importprivkey yourprivkey.

That should work.

edit: If that's too complicated and you're tech unsavvy, you can just send the coins to bittrex and then create an address with your supersonic 2.0 client and then send them to your new wallet address.  Send a small amount to bittrex first to test.

Windows Patch Test and tell me if it works.
