Thanks alot for helping me out again!
Just kidding. Nah, I was talking about an alt coin. But the attack was far in the past, hundreds of unwanted blocks have already been confirmed.
This is far beyond my capabilities, and I think I will leave the blockchain untouched.
Just one more question - is it possible to copy an existing blockchain into a new crypto currency that uses a different algo?
Couldn't find anyhing about that, but someone claimed it was possible. Wouldn't the block hashes be different with another algo?
I've just tried it and adjusted the hash of the genesis block and the message start string (is the latter one necessary?). Then I copied wallet and block data from an existing coin. But when I start it up I get an assertion error, because hash != hashGenesisBlock.
I'm a noob and just started poking around in the source code. I might just have missed something (like reading the docs)...

I've lost track at this point of whether we are talking about Bitcoin, or some altcoin.
It's actually top secret, but the bitcoin network has been hacked, and this is Satoshi with dementia trying to fix it. Just kidding. Nah, I was talking about an alt coin. But the attack was far in the past, hundreds of unwanted blocks have already been confirmed.
