WinZEC Tips, Tricks and Troubleshooting

Hi everyone!

Does anyone know if this wallet is abandoned? I can’t access the site http://winzec.com.

When I start the wallet I get the message “daemon is taking longer than expected to start”.

The last entry in debug.log has the following:

2019-07-19 07:19:32 *** This version has been deprecated as of block height 476012. You should upgrade to the latest version of Zcash.

Yes. Use ZecWallet - download it from here: Releases · ZcashFoundation/zecwallet · GitHub

You can simply install it and it’ll use the same wallet/data from WinZEC FAQ - ZecWallet Docs

Thanks @garethtdavies, it worked.
