An unexpected error occurred when updating the GUI wallet. Please ensure that the Zcash daemon is running.
Error response from wallet: couldn’t connect to server: EOF reached.

In reply to Yuriy Zhbakov. Due to this issue I've moved all my Zcash to Jaxx wallet.

I downloaded the winzec-1.1.2 , after i want to install it I get windows installer error, cant open the install package, and about rights / the package does not exits, is the installer a valid windows installer package. 🙁

Dear ZCASH team,
There are so many people using zcash4mac in China, but my friends and I have encountered some problems during the process. I hope I can get your help. After Zcash executed the overwinter plan, the coins we saved in the local wallet “zcash4mac” could not be sent to the exchange or used for payment. And “zcash4mac” stopped updating and could not be used. After that we ran the Zcash program under Linux, but did not put this after importing the private key (privitekey) of a T-address in the original “zcash4mac” wallet. The zcash coin belonging to a T-address is imported into the Linux wallet, but if we import the file exported by the “export private key” in the menu above the local wallet “zcash4Mac” into the zcash program under the Linux system, Some zcash coins (about two-thirds) under different T-address in the local wallet “zcash4mac” can be identified.
Then I can query the balance under this t-address in the blockchain through t-address. I have the privitekey of T-address, but I can’t use and manipulate them. What should I do, Thank you.

Just realized zcash4win was no longer working. Took a backup, uninstalled zcash42in, installed WinZec & imported keys. I’m now trying to pay my SMOS monthly fee and the transactions aren’t going through. Tried it twice and for some reason the 2nd time the date on the transaction wasn’t current. They both say July 1 but the 2nd one should say the 10th

In reply to Coin Guides.

Hi, here there’s the same problem.
We’ve upgraded from zcash4win to winzec, by uninstalling the first, then installing the second (v.1.1.0). All worked as a charm, all accounts worked correctly, but after 10 days that it was off it seems is “daemon is taking longer”…
I have free space on pc, i have disabled windows firewall, i have also uninstalled winzec 1.1.0, downloaded the latest from the website (still 1.1.0, nothing has changed, same file, same dimension), upgraded java 1.8.0_171, changed also the internet network connection, but nothing has changed.
I still have the problem.
Anyone can help me?
Thanks in advance

In reply to Kyle. Sure, Kyle. Wallet.dat file is all you need. Uninstall zcash4win completely and do a fresh install of Winzec. Once done replace the wallet.dat. Remember to always take a backup.

Hi,
I need some help, I encountered the blue screen of death and I only have my wallet.dat file for zcash4win, the installwr for it is not available now and I dont have any copies of it, will I still be able to retrieve my funds using winzec if I replaced the wallet.dat of winzec?
Thank You
