As a rule, simple wallet upgrade does not need to change blockchain files and you can simply download the new wallet client and run.

To be safe, always go to <file> &<Back Up Wallet> to save a wallet.dat file.
You can also save a copy of the whole blockchain file folder:\...\paccoin\ and rename it to such as C:\...\old_paccoin\.
Even safer, you can go to console, get your private key by using <dumpprivkey "paccoin_address"> in the old wallet client & <importprivkey "paccoin_privkey"> in the new wallet client .

See: https://wallets.paccoin.net/#faq


In case you have to import you wallet.

 
Hope that these are helpful.

The only file you need to save is Wallet.dat which is the file you save during a wallet backup. You can always save the backup file in a different name with the extension of .dat.

You don't have to sync the old wallet to get this wallet.dat which you can copy directly from the folder  C:\......\paccoin\.

 
Please note that I previously put the folder wrong in C:/..../paccoin/.

Gotcha, but what I am saying is when I save that file, it has an icon of my browser as it was saved into a file that cannot be read or loaded correctly.
What I am asking is how is that file stored or how should it be saved on our own PC's?

So example, when I backup my wallet, it asks me to name it, so i name it lets say PAC Wallet Backup1, it then saves a copy on my files and desktop, but with an Icon of Internet Explorer or Opera or Safari, my question is, why is it saving like that? I can then right click it and change how it opens, but when its initially saved its not a normal saving file on my documents. Its listed as a wallet.dat file but will not open properly if I have to restart my PC and reload my Wallet.

There is no file reader for wallet.dat file. Nobody can view it directly, probably due to encryption.
It would be great to have a file viewer working by entering the passphrase for the wallet file but there has been none that I know of.
To my knowledge, the only wallet.dat viewer is the wallet client itself. 

I sent some paccoin to yobit also, and after about a week it finally arrived. I assumed this was due to their efforts at rebuilding the blockchain.
I sent some more this morning, and it hasn't arrived. I have submitted a ticket, so we'll see whats happens.

Tell me - if my coins on yobit remain - what will happen to them?

They should be made available. Check with them to find out if there are any problems with the wallet.

Saul, you are only hurting yourself when you make stupid statements like this.

Well then you are part of the "New Developers", you cannot trash a cryptocoin without causing damage to consumer confidence in all cryptocoins.
