Hey @AcidD ,
Cheers for the reply. What can i say, life got pretty damn hectic and cryptos took a back seat and forgotten about. Time to rekindle that fire! Make perfect sense dude, Il get onto it in a moment.
Im running Windows 7 64bit. The laptops old, and had its best so its time to get with the time!

Ok cool.
So step one - get to your C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Feathercoin directory and copy the wallet.dat to a safe place
then open your current Feathercoin-Qt Wallet, get to the console and then type dumpwallet
this should list all your wallet addresses, change addresses and corresponding private keys. Copy these out and keep them somewhere safe, in a text file or something. But keep it safe and OFFLINE
once the above is done, you can uninstall Feathercoin-qt as this sits in ProgramFiles and not in AppData
you can then go to www.fethercoin.com and download the new x64 bit client we released a few days ago.
Install it and then run Feathercoin-QT.
let us know how you get on.

Cheers @AcidD,
Ive copied the wallet.dat to a secure, safe place. However when going to the console / dumpwallet. This error occurs “Method not found (code -32601)”.
Is it imperitive this is change now, (i have the address) or can we change it later?

What version of Feathercoin-qt are you running?
if you have the wallet.dat you should be good. I usually tell people to do the dumpwallet as an extra precaution.

try to use dumpprivkey <your feathercoin address> and write down or copy/paste the string shown after some seconds
Repeat this step for all addresses you used.

All done mate, old wallet uninstalled. New wallet installed.
Upon opening, coins were automatically in the wallet.
Unable to sync “no block chain available”.
This were adding additional nodes comes into play?

@chris1269
yes, you are right.enter the command addnode 46.4.0.101 add into the console.
That should get you connected
