Network Upgrade Success
Ladies and Gentlement, MicroBitcoin (MBC) network has been upgraded and is in motion. The devs have been hard at work and we have a better and safer network running!
The upgrade includes a new LWMA2 difficulty algorithm implementation, which helps smoothen difficulty changes and faster response to network attacks. More details on the algorithm will be posted in later date.

Wallets
Anticipated wallets are really close to release so please be sure to have your seed phrases backed up, see #android-wallet-guide to backup the first version of the android wallet.
Troubleshooting
There have been some issues, possibly, and the fixes are underway. Please see #android-wallet-guide (Discord channel) for details to how you can backup your wallet and then restore it in the newer versions. Here are some tips to troubleshoot:
- Check if your seed phrase is correct BEFORE you uninstall the app
- If your balance isn't showing, try closing the app and opening it again (the devs are currently working to make it better)
- Check if your address has balance using the block explorer 👉 <https://microbitcoinorg.github.io/explorer>
- Check the transaction history of your address in the block explorer (the blockchain is very difficult to hack, it's easier to hack the person)
- Use the Mnemonic converter <https://microbitcoinorg.github.io/mnemonic> to get list of addresses and private keys of your wallet (can be used to verify your wallet address)
