why relaunch a failed coin? 

my post says i am bored... i'm sure you can read that...

[barwizi]

someone suggested i upload the chain info, so here it is

https://mega.co.nz/#F!qJZnmDYI!BJ0Q1gy7GhM5Fd5ZKe_BKQ

Hmm, the client always crashes when i try to run it with that database. I think we'd need something like this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=145386.0
Our clients should connect, i don't get why they don't...

i don't have a node and it looks like all the others are off

Bad luck i guess, coin still dead or dead again?
So did you (or anyone) get to mine it? If so, you should consider continuing doing so to ensure someone doesn't re-relaunch the coin and leaves you with an empty wallet.

yes, i mined quite a bit, it'll keep a cpu on it.

If you upload it somewhere that doesn't try to force you to install spyware in order to download files I may consider downloading it and becoming a node.

Also you only need to upload blk0001.dat, blkindex.dat and the database folder and it's contents.

Then you must have an open client aka node?! Would like to download the blocks, making your coins valid. My linux client has 3 connections now, no blocks...

[barwizi]

check the github, i just added and pushed the data there

Adding these to appdata/6coin made my client crash "run database recovery".
I guess this is the issue:

Let me guess, you are running the version of bitcoin that came in the office debian repo?  That version is build with db_4.8 where are the version from the www.bitcoin.org is build with db_4.7.  The database formats are not compatible.  Just delete all the files in the data folder execpt for wallet.dat and it should run, but your client will have to download the whole block chain again.

all done on mega and on github 

[barwizi]

now just need an active node.

OK my linux client accepted the files without crashing, now my windows client tries to download the blockchain. So far nothing but it's a bit of progress.

[barwizi]

i have a single connection, let me point my gpu and see what happens


edit: aaand it's gone

Alright I'm mining on my linux node, not sure if anyone will ever see those blocks.  
addnode=213.239.207.114

Getting the same warning on my windows client since i updated the linux one with the blockchain.

edit: Well, the miner no longer connects to the node, which is weird.

[Petr1fied]

It crashed my daemon trying to use the provided blockchain. I think you need to face the fact that the original chain is no longer recoverable.

[barwizi]

check the above posts, if it's dead , i wont bother anymore, i'll just remake the entire thing, original dev ******* it already. but that will be when i'm bored again.

[Petr1fied]

A complete relaunch is probably a better option at this stage. Like you said, the original dev f****d it up.
