Look at "$HOME/.bitcoin" this happened to me, bitcoind needs this variable set.

Plus create the config file, then run bitcoind!

Thanks, ill try that..

Well, I didnt want to get bashed for trying to teach myself something out of boredom.

I decided to fork blackcoin for fun, I changed all the goodies, & now im up to generating the merkel hash.

i compiled it on ubuntu 14.04 but it doesnt create the hidden data directory folder.
I even tried creating it myself, and specifying it using the -datadir & didnt work either.

I used find and replace to change everything blackcoin, Blackcoin, BlackCoin, & BC to my shitty coin name, which is shitcoin lol.

.blackcoin nor .shitcoin gets created after i compile my source.

I downloaded & compiled blackcoin & it does indeed create the .blackcoin folder so im thinking it has to do something with my renaming process?

Are you sure you have Show Hidden Files active?

yes sir.

When i
Code:
ls -a
it doesn't come up.

Even If I
Code:
find .shitcoin
it doesnt come up either.

I git cloned & compiled the original Blackcoin source & when i
Code:
cd
to the location the .blackcoin folder its there.

when i
Code:
ls -a
in the directory its there.

Even if i
Code:
find .blackcoin
it will show up.

Im doing everything the same exact way..

I think that folder's normally created when you first run the wallet. Have you tried that (or did I miss it?)
