I have 2 computers running different ip's. What do i put in the conf? btw the rpc port is 990012 I think you have to set one to setgenerate true, but i might be wrong Title: Re: How to start a dead coin?

No, I would like to mine it so I got something to CPU mine just for fun xD Also I tried mining on both the computers using setgenerate true and it didn't work... Title: Re: How to start a dead coin?

Title: Re: How to start a dead coin? Post by: mullick on February 16, 2014, 02:00:49 AM It depends on how "dead" the coin is.
You will want a copy of the blockchain at least as far as the last checkpoint that was made. If you want you mined coins to have a chance of being valid If the coin is really that dead and no block source can be found, You can removed the checkpoints from the source and start your own new chain. But it will likely never be vaild. Unless the original chain never had a checkpoint and your chain becomes longer eventually. Again very unlikely Your best bet it to poke around the forums and ask some previous supporters if they have a copy of the blockchain to share with you As of right now you likely cannot mine because there is a checkpoint in the source higher than the block you have downloaded. It wont let you mine because it knows your not up to date yet Title: Re: How to start a dead coin?

Try going for a zombie coin thats listed on an exchange somewhere, theres so many now it must be possible to cpu mine one of them. I havent looked, you want a long list of difficulty for each coin then narrow it down. Its not impossible to revive some coin that had a useful feature of some kind ? I cpu mine fairquarks on a laptop, get plenty but Im not sure how popular it is. Some coins are designed to be CPU only, in case you didnt realise this and if you join a pool your'll get some for sure. http://www.cryptocoincharts.info/v2/coins/info Here is a list, Novacoin is sub zero as are a few ?
