SYSCOIN UPGRADE TO 3.1.x.0 or 3.2
x = latest version.
This upgrade applies to Syscoin QT and Masternodes.
For the latest versions visit Github and read the release notes.
See below for Masternode Upgrade Instructions to 3.1.x.0, or 3.2 this also includes updating your sentinel to 1.1.1 if you have not already done so.
This upgrade is requested even if you are not stuck on a block or on the wrong chain to prevent you moving to the wrong chain, please read release notes in Github for further details. Check your block against the explorer.
If you have already updated to 3.1.3, or 3.2 and have confirmed you are on the correct block then you DO NOT need to run the Reload Blocks procedure just do the upgrade part.

If you upgrade your Masternodes manually, there are two methods to choose from:
- Execute separate commands.
- Use a script which executes the commands
Method 1
Press Enter at the end of each line.
~/syscoin/src/syscoin-cli stop
cd ~/syscoin
git checkout master && git pull
./autogen.sh
./configure
make -j$(nproc) -pipe
~/syscoin/src/syscoindUpdate Sentinel if required
To check Sentinel Version
~/syscoin/src/syscoin-cli masternodelist json [vpsipaddress]Install if required
cd ~/syscoin/src/sentinel
git checkout master
git pullReload your Blocks
~/syscoin/src/syscoin-cli stop
rm ~/.syscoincore/debug.log
rm ~/.syscoincore/peers.dat
rm -rf ~/.syscoincore/blocks
rm -rf ~/.syscoincore/chainstate
~/syscoin/src/syscoind -reindexLeave it a few minutes then check you are synced to the correct block by comparing with the explorer.
~/syscoin/src/syscoin-cli getinfoIf you are still not on the correct block you will need to carry out the Reload Blocks procedure again.
Method 2
You can use this single command (written by Locutus), which will also remove chainstate, blocks and peers.dat.
bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/locutus75/syscoinscripts/master/offlineupdatescript.sh)Leave it a few minutes then check you are synced to the correct block by comparing with the explorer.
~/syscoin/src/syscoin-cli getinfoIf you are still not on the correct block you will need to carry out the Reload Blocks procedure again using this script.
bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/locutus75/syscoinscripts/master/syscoincore-reindex.sh)See below for QT Upgrade Instructions to 3.1.x.0 or 3.2
Close QT and download the latest from Github
ALWAYS ENSURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP OF WALLET.DAT
Go to your syscoincore folder
For WIN
C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\SyscoinCore
Or type %appdata% in the search box
For MAC
CMD + Shift + G
~/Library/Application Support/SyscoinCore
Remove any addnode connectnode lines from syscoin.conf
Delete the Blocks and Chainstate folder and peers.dat and mncache.dat file
Open QT and it should start syncing within a minute or so.
Leave it to fully sync then check you are synced to the correct block by comparing with the explorer.
If you are still not on the correct block or stuck on an incorrect block use this method.
1) Shut down QT.
2) Rename syscoincore folder to syscoincoreold.
3) Create a new syscoincore folder.
4) COPY wallet.dat and masternode.conf from syscoincoreold to the new syscoincore folder.
5) Restart QT 3.1.2 or higher.
This gives you a new clean sync on the correct chain, and a backup. (syscoincoreold).
Any transactions that are “stuck” on the wrong chain will no longer be in mempool, will not have happened and your balance should be correct.
