haha i see.

the figure generally touted around as coin supply is really the maximum coinage able to be handled in one tx (not sure of the finer details tbh)

in this case, probably a useful figure to be aware of ..
it's 2 billion coins
https://github.com/stronghands/stronghands/blob/master/src/main.h#L37

so i guess you should never have been able to actually send those coins. so it sounds like only your client that is having a problem, and the coins should be fine.

i'm unsure if a simple mod of that value would cause a fork or not.
i'm unclear if your fresh install involved resyncing or ..

so suggestions would be,

starting with a rescan

to rescan, open a command/terminal window,
drag and drop the qt.exe onto it, then add
-rescan

should look somethin like
c:\wherever\stronghands-qt.exe -rescan

,

or resyncing

a quicker way of resyncying would be to use yr current chain as a bootstrap.
basically you can rename the blk.xx file as bootstrap.dat and restart

my general approach is to duplicate the entire data directory so you have an as is copy to fall back on,
then rename blk0001.dat (or wahetever it's called) to bootstrap.dat
delete everything else except
wallet.dat
stronghands.conf
peers.dat

leaves you with 4 files .
bootstrap, wallet,conf and peers.

then try restarting,
it should then import the chain from the bootstrap rather than downloading,

from experience, it can take quite a while depending on number of tx and height of chain,
also it can stop before syncing fully with yon bootstrap,
if this happens you can rename
bootstrap.dat.old
back to
bootstrap.dat

and restart.

Yeah, I tried sending 2.4 Billion in one go, so I clearly exceeded the 2 billion threshold, I wasn't aware of this limit until now.

I tried the rescan and the resync... both still give me the same errors, the client just doesn't want to run anymore... I mean it starts loading and I see the splash screen but after about 20 seconds it crashes.

Not sure what else could be done at this point. Sad
