Scrypt Coin clone - Technical Questions

[First.Bitcoins]

I have cloned dogecoin (for testing), everything works so far, coins are mining on two virtual servers. I compiled the testcoin-qt wallet, no problems, but when the wallet starts to sync, it says it is at 1300 out of 106000 total blocks. Since there are only 1300 blocks today, where is the 106000 number coming from? Was it somewhere in the dogecoin code, when I cloned it? How can it be fixed? This is making the syncing process take several days.

Did you change the magic numbers? Maybe this is the reason.

I did generate a new merkelhash, genesisblock, nNonce, etc and entered them. What other "magical numbers" did I need to change? When I run getinfo, it only shows the 1300 blocks.

did you remove the checkpoints from code?

Thanks amarian12, that fixed it!

Now onto the next problem, I am trying to compile the qt file on mac and get this error:
-----------------

I am on

Any idea how to fix? I am on osx 10.7.5

check this ... i did not try compile on mac

[First.Bitcoins]

For those who might have the same problem compiling any altcoin on mac, I fixed it by uninstalling and reinstalling boost (using macports) with the universal flag:

%% sudo port uninstall boost
%% sudo port install boost +universal
