Anyone on Linux can change this source code and recompile to fix the checkpoints too old message
edit ~/starcoin/src/checkpoints.cpp
Yes, that's what I did, and there's another section in
'src/kernel.cpp' as well, although I'm not sure I got this bit down yet.
As I posted before, as soon as I have proved this out, I'll publish my results here, and hopefully get a Windows compile going. As things stand currently, I might just get a few minutes to look back at it later on this week...
