I have been working on setting up a properly running block explorer (I had used some crude hacks to get the current one working) and in the process, I am trying to write a guide so it is not such a mystery.
I will copy the portion of the guide needed to get a node set up.
code
Hope that helps - It is a bit more confusing that it should have been because some of the formatting was lost.
Carsen has handed over this coin to you? Yes - he had otherwise abandoned it, but we kept calling him out when he launched each new coin - he finally gave in and decided to come clean about all his releases. This was one of his worst coding mistakes - PoW ending at blk 5000 and PoS starting at blk 6000. I corrected the code but a bunch of nodes are still running that old code, so instead of producing stake they reject blocks and don't help new nodes sync. If we can't get them to update (pools are suspected) we will re-start PoW temporarily and change some other parameters to ensure PoS is running smoothly again by block 6000 when it will turn back off. There will be 0 block reward plus transaction fees, so no newly minted coins by starting PoW again, and we won't need pools since there's not much reward incentive or need for loads of hashing power (unless the first few block aren't possible without pooled power). We'll still need the majority of the network to update for this to work. |

What dev? The scumbag that dumped and left or the new team that took over? |

probably not, download the new wallet and blockchain, then type repairwallet in the console, may take a few hours to sync up to date. After you type repair wallet in the console you will probably need to restart the wallet. Don't for get to save and move your original wallet.dat file |

My conclusion is that the wallet can't be repaired, but everybody tells me "No, your coins are not lost". Even Bittrex support told me that, pointing to contact the dev, which never replied and dumped his coin. My issue is not new, edn247 tried to help, but it did not work. |

Here is a screenshot of bittrex, my wallet address: TSP6K3oKynecDXF3LBkbtggkAwyVZrjvZS How many coins do you think you should have? If you are having wallet issues I wanted to try to track down coins you think should be in your wallet pn the blockchain. |

120-130 plus bittrex: Have you updated the latest wallet? Try fully syncing it and then replace wallet.dat and let me know what happens. if it doesn't work, hit me up on PM.  I have been doing a lot of thinking about the direction that we can take this coin, and have not spoken to the devs much about future plans as I am letting them get the chain moving before we worry to much about future development. The thing I do know is that there is no reason to copy every other coin out there. Is Anon important? eh. everyone else has it, and at some point an implementation may add to what we want to do, but all I see at this point is a race to who can get it done properly. Why not focus on other features, and when someone has a proven-open-source anon solution, well it would be easy to add to the coin while we have already moved forward with newer and more innovative features. One of the biggest things we need to think about is how Credit Card companies entice consumers to use their product - (SYNC is on to something). IF we can get a proper payment platform that actually rewards users for using the product and not just holding it...... well you get what I am saying. alright, I will leave it at that. |

I don't currently have this wallet. However, I think I can help you, as I had a similar issue with sync and recovered my coins. Unfortunately, not ALL wallets have this feature, so you'll have to look. There's another way if it don't work. I would do this in PM, but I think it might help others with the same issue. Both of these method make the assumption that your client loads. If it's crashing on launch, I'm not sure what to do. I had that issue with maxcoin, and ended up losing the coins. (well, I still have the wallet.dat file, but I can't at this time recover it). In this post I'm only detailing the easier of the two. If necessary, I'll revisit it. Preferred method. Dumpwallet. (note, I'm putting this up for you AND for general consumption, so if the detail seems excessive, just bear in mind that others might not have the same level of knowledge). click on help. click on debug window. In the debug window, click on console. In console, type help and press enter. This will bring up a list of all available commands. You're looking for two. Dumpwallet and importwallet. Note the capitalization, especially if you're running linux. Now for the fun stuff. Assuming the dumpwallet command exists, type "dumpwallet <filename>" The filename is anything you choose, and it's a plain text file when it dumps. Now, save your existing wallet.dat somewhere, and the dumped wallet file, and completely delete your data directory. In windows that will be in user\yourusername\appdata\roaming\techcoin. In linux, it will be /home/user/.techoin. Again, before deletion make SURE you have saved your wallet.dat file, and it's a good idea to keep your configuration file as well, though at this point in the game you might want to rewrite it with only known good nodes. Now. If you don't have the newest wallet, get it. make sure you have th config as you want it, and launch it. As soon as it's up, again go to the console as in the first step. This time type importwallet <filename> using the filename you had dumped (make sure of the proper path). It will import all of your private keys and blockchain transaction as the new wallet syncs. This worked on a wallet that just would not be repaired for me in SYNC. Got everything back, just had to wait for the chain to sync. If tech coin don't have the dumpwallet function, all is not lost. But this is a bit more time consuming and tedious. I don't feel like detailing that right now, but if someone informs me that tech coin don't have the dumpwallet function, I'll type that up to. I have manually recovered all of the private keys in a wallet before, but I have to look up some commands to type it up properly. Good luck and I hope this helps! |

devs, help me! My coins should have matured for a long time.
Time wise, yes they should have... but unfortunately the wallet measures time in blocks, and is expecting one every 60 seconds, so that makes the 1h (v1.0.1.1+) maturity 60 blocks (if you have v1.0.0.1 it's 60 x 24, that's why it was changed). If you hover over that transaction you'll see Confirmed ( XX confirmations) and that number needs to be 60. I have a block that is at 59 now...... sooooo close! |

You can also download a copy of the blockchain up to block 5072 from the github link in the OP so that syncing is not an issue, I know there is a problem with so many 1.0.0.0 clients running on the chain stuck at block 5000 makes it hard to sync up at first. |

It worked for me with SYNC on a wallet file that kept throwing database errors and would not sync. Nothing else did, including salvagewallet. It's a good feature. I'm now using it to back up wallets that are fine, just in case  |

Anonymity is as important as we all decide it is. Personally I share your view on this, especially as it's not something I have experience with, I wouldn't be innovating, so might as well let the devs who want to play with different methods hash it out and see what ends up being the best and implement it then. Payment platform / online shop platform / shop-in-wallet / other drastic gui improvement / innovations - that's the direction I'd like to head once we sort out the underlying problems the original dev left us with. |

Sometimes it helps to quit and load it a few times to get it synced. You can also download most of the blockchain from github so you don't even have to wait, check the OP. |

what would it take to throw in some pow to help get this moving? the sooner the better. Or is it possible to change nodes altogether in a new wallet version to disconnect all the old versions?
