I am fairly new to all this so please be gentle.  I have read as much as I can and have done searches but the terminology is fairly foreign so it's hard to pick the right search terms and then understand what I am reading.  I'm hoping direct questions will get me answers I can understand.

First:  I am mining for someone that paid to have an alt coin made for them (X11) from someone on these forums.  I wasn't involved until after then coin was created.

There are a few things that seem odd to me that I'd love to see resolved.  First, any time I exit the wallet, it stays running in the background.  This happens in Windows and Mac.  I have not checked on Linux.  I have to go into the task manager to kill the process in order to re-open the app.  Second, the app feels like it may have been compiled with a very old copy of the LTC source and not very up to date.

I have the source code.  Would it be possible to take the most current version of the LTC source and patch in my specific details, of this alt,  and get a newer wallet?  Things like my genesis block etc.  Right now I am using a Baikal to mine at 150MHs and it's crashing the wallet.  The wallet worked fine when mining with nVidia 980 at 11MHs.  If I point the Baikal at a mining pool, it will run for days without issue.  I would like to better understand the technology so that I don't ask stupid questions but this is where I am currently.

I will not say who made the alt coin because it's not really relevant to the questions I have.  I don't want the post to get sidetracked.

When you quit (or close) a QT wallet it has several tasks it has to accomplish before terminating. When you quit the wallet you should be patient and give it a moment to clean up, killing the process could interfere with those operations and cause problems. If you are watching the debug log when you shut the wallet down you can see what it's doing and it will tell you when it's done.

If the wallet is genuinely not closing down (after checking the log) then your friend has a problem with their wallet.
