Instructions for existing users to upgrade to the new HYPER Mac wallet from the old HYPER Mac wallet:
The new HYPER Mac wallet uses a new version of the HYPER blockchain for faster syncing. So you will need to download the blockchain again. This only takes 4-6 hours with the new wallet and blockchain. We are working on a bootstrap for the new Mac client ASAP.
1.) Navigate to ~/Library/Application Support/Hyper on your Mac. COPY YOUR WALLET.DAT AND MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR WALLET.DAT IN A SECURE LOCATION BEFORE PROCEEDING SUCH AS ON AN EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE OR IN A FOLDER ON YOUR DESKTOP
2.) DELETE EVERYTHING EXCEPT YOUR WALLET.DAT (DO NOT DELETE YOUR WALLET.DAT!) IN ~/Library/Application Support/Hyper on your Mac
3.) Download the new HYPER Mac client at: https://mega.co.nz/#!aNFAwJhT!6Oz7yeidRZ4U5MGXlb9lJBumxRZA22B7ZyjzVnfX5Rg
4.) Unpack the New HYPER Mac client to your desktop
5.) Open the new HYPER Mac client. It may take 4-6 hours to download the new blockchain. Your correct HYPER balance will display once the blockchain has fully downloaded. Please be patient.
6.) That’s it you are now running the new HYPER Mac wallet client. Has been thoroughly tested but please report any bugs here or on twitter.
