This is regarding how to up grade to 0.16.1, I'm running bitcoind on linux, and I would like to know the proper command to copy to shut down 0.16.0 and upgrade to 0.16.1?
I'm also running LND on the same Raspberry Pi, and don't want to erase LND in the process, can someone assist me please?
If I'm on the wrong the place addressing this please don't hesitate to point me in the correct direction.
There is a How to Upgrade section in the release notes. I've copied it in below:
If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely
shut down (which might take a few minutes for older versions), then run the
installer (on Windows) or just copy over /Applications/Bitcoin-Qt (on Mac)
or bitcoind/bitcoin-qt (on Linux).
The first time you run version 0.15.0 or newer, your chainstate database will be converted to a new format, which will take anywhere from a few minutes to half an hour, depending on the speed of your machine.
Note that the block database format also changed in version 0.8.0 and there is no automatic upgrade code from before version 0.8 to version 0.15.0 or higher. Upgrading directly from 0.7.x and earlier without re-downloading the blockchain is not supported. However, as usual, old wallet versions are still supported.
Thanks @fanquake, I've read this upgrade before, I just don't know the proper, codes to put into the linux terminal
What linux? Is it self compiled or ppa? ...
