How to upgrade the Denarius v3.3.9.11 wallet, QT or Daemon, now with DDNS, decentralized Domain support. The idea here is to not force a mandatory protocol upgrade, we can swap the wallet and either sync from block 0, or use chaindata. This will be wordy, but its not too many steps. Latest binaries - https://github.com/carsenk/denarius/releases First stop wallet and backup wallet.dat somewhere safe, like a USB thumbdrive. Download the v3.3.9.11 binary or compile from source. Unzip to wherever you normally run the binary from. For Windows you just replace your existing Denarius.exe file. Delete the files in the chaindata folder and keep denarius.conf fortunastake.conf wallet.dat. Data Directory Locations OS Data Directory Windows %APPDATA%\Denarius macOS /Library/Application Support/Denarius Linux ~/.denarius/ Now you can choose to sync from block 0 or download chaindata.zip from https://denarii.cloud/ . Put this file in your above Data Directory and unzip in place. After unzipping chaindata.zip, restart the wallet. Common new options in denarius.conf DDNS=1 turns on the local DDNS support to resolve directly from the wallet, turn off with 0. Might be handy when running multiple wallets on same computer. DDNSPORT=5333 default port for DDNS, that can be changed, might be handy if running multiple wallets on same computer with DDNS=1 Don't forget to checkout how to get started with Denarius DDNS NVS.

Lets start by making 2 things. First we will create a name called @example which someone can send denarius to. And then we will create a basic domain. Load the wallet and get some Denarius coins. We will need this to pay the fee + fee to miners to create / update / delete records. Go to the NVS screen or debug console to fill this in. I am going to use Debug console for most of the guide as its easier at the moment. Example of what this looks like in the debug console. name_new @blockforumsexample "In Denarius We Trust" 365 We then get a tx hash Under the My Denarius Names tab as you wait for the transaction to happen you will see a yellow highlight. Once the transaction goes through the yellow hightlight disappears and you now have your @name added to your wallet. To show your name type below name_show @blockforumsexample and you get { "name" : "@blockforumsexample", "value" : "In Denarius We Trust", "txid" : "1f19ede29c259cbb7335bf72f97942a3a23a941c0da7d557f74ce4f964ace842", "address" : "DR8f9v3WXqzRim7B4VzeKVYi6GG1jtpyhL", "expires_in" : 1051199, "expires_at" : 5265039, "time" : 1612055193 } To send to the name type sendtoname @blockforumsexample 1.337
