NEW! I/OCoin HTML5 February 19th 2015 Release Version 1.1.4

First of all backup your existing HTML5 wallet.dat before you upgrade!
Because of a bug in the current HTML5 wallet, you should not use the build in backup facility but use the below steps.
In the new release, the backup functionality is fixed.

How to backup manually

  1. Open HTML5 wallet and Go to settings tab
  2. Click on Show Data Folder and it will open up your IOcoin data Folder
  3. After this folder is open, Please CLOSE down wallet (Make sure to completely close down wallet after this folder is open) Very Important
  4. Once wallet is fully closed you are going to look for your wallet.dat file, inside the iocoin folder, make sure to copy and paste to another folder on the desktop, also it would be wise to backup to a USB stick.
  5. Be aware, if you made a backup of the wallet that has not yet been encrypted, you should do another backup when it is encrypted and replace the old backup!

FAQ

It crashed!/Something broke! Who do I yell at?

Take a screenshot of any information that appeared (e.g. any pop-ups). Send an email to iocoindev@gmail.com or talk to one of the mods in #iocoin on irc.freenode.net.

Where does the wallet store its settings?

  • On Windows: C:\Users\<Your Username>\AppData\Roaming\IOCoin\html5wallet.conf
  • On OS X: /Users/<Your Username>/Library/Application Support/html5wallet.conf
  • On Linux: ~/.iocoin/html5wallet.conf

How do I install a custom theme?

  1. If it does not exist, create a themes folder inside the folder that contains html5wallet.conf (see above for exact location).
  2. Drop the theme's folder inside the themes folder you just created.
  3. The theme should now be selectable in the Settings tab.

How can I create a new theme?

  1. Download the app.nw version of the wallet and the node-webkit runtime for your platform (the wallet uses v0.10.5 so we recommend this version for compatibility reasons).
  2. Rename app.nw to app.zip and unzip it into a folder.
  3. At the bottom of index.html, change DEBUG = false; to DEBUG = true;.
  4. Create a new CSS file in the css/themes folder.
  5. Copy img/no-preview.png and rename the copy to the same name as your .css file.
  6. Run the wallet by dropping the app folder (with index.html and package.json at top-level) onto the node-webkit executable.
  7. The debug tools will open with the wallet and the wallet will be using a "dummy" daemon.

How can I distribute my theme?

  1. Create a new folder with the name of your theme somewhere on your computer (e.g. your desktop).
  2. Place your theme's CSS file inside and rename it to theme.css.
  3. Take a screenshot of your theme, crop and resize it so it's 195x150, and place it in the folder, renaming it to preview.png.
  4. Compress the folder into a ZIP file and share it with the world!
