blockchain from zecwallet #15

I downloaded the ZEC blockchain when first using ZecWallet and was wondering if I can just import all the .dat files into ZecMate? If so, how? I would prefer not to have to download the whole blockchain all over again.

update: new problem. when I run zecmate it gives me the following error message: "A general unexpected error has occrred: error: couldn't connect to server: unknown (code -1) (make sure server is running and you are connecting to the correct RPC port) See the console/logfile output for more detailed error information!"

Those wallets should be compatible as they use the same default folder directory being it AppData/Zcash on windows (and correspondingly on other platforms) so the blockchain will not be downloaded again

Regarding the other error message issue - it looks like zcashd most likely crashed as the wallet cannot connect to the daemon. Are you using your own binaries? Or you installled ZECmate with the executable that contains them? Does the issue still persist?

I am using the Mac OSX GUI version of ZecMate. zcashd works just fine in ZecWallet and Zepio. I just checked and ZecMate still gives me that same error message.

I see. I think the problem lies in the included zcashd/zcash-cli in ZecMate wallet. Probably were not build correctly and tuhs some macbooks have problem running them as they are missing some libraries. We will release a new version soon with updated Zcash binaries and the sprout to sapling migration function
