Hello all,

Trying to build my own LiteCoin fork for educational purposes.

I've made it as far as compiling the wallets in Ubuntu.

The problem I'm having is that there isn't any active connections on my network.

Hello.

You'll need 2 wallet/daemon to make it work.

The trick is to launch a 2nd wallet or daemon, using a different -datadir= and making sure it doesn't try to listen (I won't be able to) and to connect to the other instance (using -connect):

Code:

# First instance
$ ./QuickCash-qt -testnet

# 2nd instance, in another terminal if needed
$ mkdir instance_2 ; ./QuickCash-qt -testnet -datadir=instance_2 -listen=0 -connect=localhost

You'll be able to mine new blocks, and the "out of sync" stuff will disappear once a new block is mined.

Thank you so much for the help I really appreciate it!
