Update to geth 1.8.23 for constantinopel

[gnorbsl]

Why is there no option to override the clientBinaries which makes you dependent on someone updating it?

Yes.. how do I upgrade geth in this darned thing.

[G-Bigo]

It's a bit hidden deep down in the folder structure. On a Windows system:
C:\Users(Username)\AppData\Roaming\Ethereum Wallet\binaries\geth\unpacked\geth.exe

Actual versions can be picked e.g. from:
https://geth.ethereum.org/downloads/

Simply download and overwrite the existing geth.exe.

As far as I got it Mist/wallet v0.11.1 still refuses to work with the new version. However it is possible to call geth with some start parameters to update your blockchain. DOS prompt and: geth.exe /? to get help.

I tried that but that won't work AFAIK. Mist has a sanity check on startup it checks the geth version with an online clientBinaries.json file and if the geth version isn't the same as the installed version it fails

What do people use for a wallet these days then if the official wallet is not even updated.
