I just downloaded the Sprouts wallet source code to get an understanding of it. Let me see if I can fix the 1 billion error and increase it to, like, 40 billion. Also I will change it to be Sprouts Classic to be unique and independent from the failed HF wallet.
...
I don't even know if the changes to the code you'd like to see will make for a soft fork or a hard fork.
Also, if there is mention of Sprouts in the code to amend it with Classic? Let me know.
This would require further study.

About a year ago I had written up directions on how to get this version of a sprouts wallet up and running on a windows PC. Here is that link:

And here is the github post I found with the latest version of the sprouts code (I'm not sure of its exact version, but it may be: v0.1.2.2-gd0cbc83 )
https://github.com/gjhiggins/sproutsHe also lists instructions for compiling.

May I suggest that making changes to the sprouts code now may not be the best thing to do at this time, but rather, getting sprouts back up and running as a regular coin should be the current focus. That is, get it onto exchanges, get an explorer running, maybe its own website, get onto coinmarketcap, etc. ... After these things are up and working, maybe then it can be ok to mess with its source code. (like fixing the MAX_MONEY problem, but leaving everything else the same, keeping it as a "sprouts classic").
This is just a guess, but even after it gets onto an exchanges, I've noticed that exchanges don't like so many changes to a wallet so frequently, so a modification to the sprouts wallet would have to wait at least 3 or 4 months after it gets onto an exchange.
Yes. I agree with you arcmetal. Bastillar is soon releasing an explorer for Sprouts Classic and will provide an update probably tomorrow. So now is choosing an exchange. You have mentioned Yobit as one exchange. Bastillar mentioned Crypto Hub as another possible exchange. What is the best plan to get it onto an exchange as jennyblockchain mentioned pooling together a donation which I am in favor. Any other suggestions?
