1: Back Up Your Current Configuration

1. Backup configuration file:

cp $HOME/.stohn/stohn.conf $HOME/stohn-conf-backup.conf

2. Backup blockchain data (optional):

tar -czvf stohn-data-backup.tar.gz $HOME/.stohn

Step 2: Stop the Current Node

Stop the running node gracefully:

stohncoin-cli stop

Step 3: Update the Node Software

1. Navigate to your home directory:

cd

2. Download the latest v3.2 Linux daemon:

wget "https://stohncoin.org/dl/stohn-qt-linux-3.2.tar.gz" -O stohn-daemon-linux.tar.gz

3. Extract the downloaded file:

tar -xzvf stohn-daemon-linux.tar.gz

4. Copy the updated binaries:

cd stohn-qt-linux-3.2
sudo cp bin/* /usr/local/bin/

Step 4: Update Configuration (if needed)

Open the stohn.conf file to review and update configuration settings:

nano $HOME/.stohn/stohn.conf

Ensure the configuration includes:

# Network settings
listen=1
server=1
daemon=1
maxconnections=100

# RPC settings
rpcuser=rpc_stohncoin
rpcpassword=[YOURPASSWORD]
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=32717

# Seed node settings

Replace [YOURPASSWORD] with a strong, unique password. Save the file and exit nano (CTRL+X, then Y, then ENTER).

Step 5: Restart the Node

Navigate to the home directory:

cd

Start the node with the updated version:

stohncoind
