Pangea v0.4.5 June 8 Release Note - IMPORTANT

in #bitnation6 years ago (edited)

With the June 8 release of Bitnation's Pangea app v0.4.5 there are a couple of important things that XPAT holders and Pangea users should know about. One is that the release will have XPAT compatibility. The other is that this release will not be backwards compatible with private keys created using prior releases of the Pangea app due to an overhaul in how the app handles private keys.

The Bitnation team strongly advises that you send any ETH balance you have in your Pangea app right now to an external Ethereum address before upgrading to v0.4.5 on June 8, create a new private key in v0.4.5 and then send your ETH balance back to your Pangea app as desired.

If you do not do this before upgrading your Pangea app to v0.4.5 on June 8, you will still be able to recover your funds with the following actions:

  1. Go to our key converter.
  2. Follow the instructions to convert your 24 word mnemonic to a hex private key.
  3. Go to https://myetherwallet.com/) and choose "Private Key" to access your wallet.
  4. Enter the private key generated by our key converter and you will have access to your funds.

Please make sure to write down your private key and keep it in a safe location. You will need your private key should you need to restore your Pangea app in the future.

In the event that you have a saved draft for a Nation, you should finish and submit your Nation draft before updating to v0.4.5 because any saved drafts will be deleted when updating Pangea.
