AMMOcoin Upgrade Guide

Important: v1.1.0 Is NOT Compatible with v1.0

AMMOcoin v1.1.0 uses a completely new genesis block. This means the v1.1.0 blockchain is separate from v1.0. You cannot simply update the binary in place and continue syncing. A clean start is required.

Step 1: Back Up Your Wallet

Before doing anything, copy your existing wallet.dat to a safe location. This file contains your private keys from the v1.0 chain.

Step 2: Stop the v1.0 Daemon

Shut down your running AMMOcoin v1.0 node:

ammocoin-cli stop

Wait for the process to fully exit before continuing.

Step 3: Install v1.1.0

Pre-built binaries are available for all platforms — no building from source required:

• macOS: .dmg installer (drag to Applications)
• Windows: .exe installer (NSIS, includes Qt wallet)
• Linux x86_64: .deb package or .tar.gz
• Linux ARM64 / Raspberry Pi: .deb package or .tar.gz

Download from the Downloads page or from GitHub Releases.

Step 4: Start Fresh

Remove (or rename) the old data directory and start the v1.1.0 daemon. It will create a new data directory and begin syncing the v1.1.0 chain from the new genesis block.

Step 5: Transfer Your v1.0 Balance

Important: Starting fresh means your balance will be zero. To get your v1.0 coins on v1.1.0, you transfer them to a team-controlled disposal wallet on the v1.0 chain:

1. Generate v1.1.0 receiving address(es) in your new wallet
2. Email [email protected] with the amount you'll send and your v1.1.0 address(es)
3. Send your v1.0 AMMO to the disposal wallet address provided by the team
4. Receive the equivalent amount on v1.1.0 within 24-48 hours

Both transactions are recorded on-chain — immutable proof on both blockchains. The transfer window closes April 3, 2026 (90 days from network launch).
