Thanks for your thorough response, flappycoinrevive!

I think I can help out on the WordPress site and have submitted my login info via the "Become a Contributor" link.

What you have to do it save your wallet.dat, rename the folder Users/[USER]/AppData/Roaming/Flappycoin to something else, run the V5 wallet, close the wallet as soon as it opens, copy the bootstrap.dat and your old wallet.dat to the new Flappycoin folder, open wallet V5 again

I went through this procedure and can confirm it successfully transferred my 2014 balances and I was able to mine more coins on top of that as we sit here at block 769528. I did not need to install the old client, run importprivkey or any of the additional steps in Sravas's description.

Do you know where we can grab the old wallet and try this? I can't find it online

Given that menlatin's suggested approach works, I don't think you need to run the old wallet software.

4) And as of a couple days ago the administrator of the only pool shut it down; so your only option is to solo mine. It is possible to connect sg miner to your wallet (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/how-to-solo-minewithout-stratum-with-sgminer-1169627)

That link came up for me earlier via Google, but it seems rather specific to JoinCoin. I assume we'd have to write algo=script instead of x11, quark etc., and should one really append --algorithm darkcoin-mod?

Since I didn't have an AMD GPU readily available I thought to try the old cudaminer, and found this 2014 wiki to describe the solo GPU mining steps so succinctly. Downloaded ccminer since that fork seems to be the dominant successor and it's updated for CUDA 8.0 and modern GPUs, and I hacked up this ccminer.conf:
Code:
{
        "_comment1" : "Possible keys are the long options (ccminer --help)",
        "_comment2" : "todo: support /* comments */",

        "api-bind": "127.0.0.1:9150",
        "statsavg": 20,

        "max-log-rate" : 30,
        "quiet" : false,
        "debug" : false,
        "protocol" : false,
        "cpu-priority" : 3,

        "algo" : "scrypt",

        "url" : "http://127.0.0.1:9150",
        "user" : "hanzou",
        "pass" : "none"
}
Then somehow, it actually worked: http://i.imgur.com/BSs28c5.jpg

and I held the majority of the network hashing power that morning with a single mid-end GPU. Seems like we had better foster more mining participation.

Next question, the websites report the block rewards as:
> Blocks   Flappycoin Reward
> 700000-725000
> 725000-750000
> 750000 (Proof-of-Stake Kicks In Again)

yet we're sitting on block 769528 and still mining. Is this plan out-of-date?

Lastly, the "About FlappyCoin" box for version 5 reports it as version 3.2.0 and from 2014:

Does this need to be fixed? Or maybe I'm not running the binary that I think I am.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know what is the total of valid, outstanding Flap?

I do not know how to know this, and I'm sure it's very important ...

And on the distribution of the FLAP from cryptsy, anyone know the fate of about 2.5 billion? Will be distributed through POS?

....

2) I was informed by the developer that all coins in circulation before block 699999 cease to exist as a side effect of rebooting the coin. I have about 3 million coins in a previous wallet that I have not been able to recover. So I emailed the developer regarding my situation and he gave me some of his coins as "compensation."  So, if someone finds a way to do it successfully, let me know.

....

Not so much dude. What you have to do it save your wallet.dat, rename the folder Users/[USER]/AppData/Roaming/Flappycoin to something else, run the V5 wallet, close the wallet as soon as it opens, copy the bootstrap.dat and your old wallet.dat to the new Flappycoin folder, open wallet V5 again and it should sync with all your coins.

Hey Hanzo, I am the administrator of the website Flappycoins.wordpress.com.

1) I currently maintain the website and try to keep it as up-to-date as possible. If you or anyone would also like to contribute I can grant you editing privileges.
There are two websites in total:

Website ~ Owner/Administrator

flappycoins.wordpress.com ~ Me
https://sites.google.com/view/flappycoin ~ Developer

2) I was informed by the developer that all coins in circulation before block 699999 cease to exist as a side effect of rebooting the coin. I have about 3 million coins in a previous wallet that I have not been able to recover. So I emailed the developer regarding my situation and he gave me some of his coins as "compensation."  So, if someone finds a way to do it successfully, let me know.

3) Sorry, about the misinformation (I'll update the webpage later today). This is a scrypt coin and when solo mining you are mining using a cpu as compared to pool mining with a GPU.

Hey guys,

I've been mining some FlappyCoins while I can (tested some CPU mining on Mac and Windows) and am pretty confused about the state of things. I looked through this thread, but apologies if some of my questions here were already answered above and I missed it.

1. I find two primary websites, https://flappycoins.wordpress.com/ and https://flappycoins.wordpress.com/ which are each lacking in different ways. Are we expected to follow and maintain both for the time being?

2. The WordPress site has the text "As of block 699999 all previous coins in circulation cease to exist". However, a page ago ugabuga gives a procedure for migrating a version 3 wallet into FlappyCoin Qt 5, but then his last edit says "EDIT: Upsssss... I do not know if the flap transferred properly, had been mined in the meantime ..". So which is it? If I have a wallet from 2014 should I really attempt to dig it up?

3. The mining-pools section of the WordPress site says "you can do so by solo mining as it temporally uses the Sha256 algorithm instead." Does that make any sense? Isn't this exclusively a scrypt coin? Or at least that's what I recall from 2014. If it supports Sha256-mining in addition to Scrypt I figure everybody including the pools might as well use Sha256 too.

4. Although the pool linked on the WordPress site is down, the network hash rate appears to be so low that I think we might as well all solo-mine with a GPU. For me that's an exciting new experience, as in 2014 I was on Dogecoin and other altcoins where it was never practical to mine outside a pool. And I was using cgminer back then. Are there instructions for how to solo-mine with sgminer? Or how about cudaminer if I have an NVIDIA box?

10 Nodes connected so far. - if i would be able to compile the linux version - that would help, but it seems it is not possible neither on my vserver nor on a local virtual machine, seems to be open ssl related. ( 1.1 vs 1.01). Also the tx fee issue has to be sorted out, that is bugged. No matter what i set as minimum, it takes sometimes 50 % of the transaction as plus for tx fee. also the binary should be version 5 , not 3.2 as it is at the moment.

https://github.com/Flapmin/Flappy5/issues

I believe in order to compile you need OpenSSL 1.0.1e. However, on a RaspberryPi running Debian, I could compile the daemon using OpenSSL 1.0.1t. But because it is using the ARM architecture, I am unable to compile something like unomp to run a pool. But if you're able to get 1.0.1t for SSL, the daemon runs fine and I can run my node on it no problem.

You dont need to mine actually, but you can do it of course. open port 11555/11556 for having the node accessable.
edit: 11556 should be good, 11555 would be for json, / mining

OK. Done.

What is needed to configure a node? Maybe I can help and do something on my part for the coin ..

For running a node, just run the wallet and leave it open, for running a dedcated node, run it on a server 24/7.

OK ... I'll leave then wallet open and run a board ITX ... no need to open ports on the router?


EDIT: no need mining? only open?

Okay ... I'd better explain my situation ...

I installed "your version 3.2.0 ..." on two PCs, and I can move my coins from 1 PC to the other PC ... Does this mean that everything is OK or not Huh
QT ver.3.2.0 is not working with current blockchain.
It's not possible move coins between old wallets.
But possible to recover old wallet/wallets on new blockchain in QT ver.5
If you have several old wallets with different addresses, you must recover every of them apart.

If you have only one old wallet and want to move coins to other PC:

Use 3.2.0 only for privatekey dumping on first PC (debug command in console).
Save this privkey.

Go to second PC.
Check whether directory ..AppData/Roaming/Flappycoin exist.
If YES, rename entire folder to other name, for example /FlappycoinOLD
Better way is to make archive copy of this old folder somewhere in secure place away from ..AppData/Roaming.
May be this folder contain another old wallet and you want to recover this one too.

Download new QT ver. 5 from Github, save proper .conf file and .lib

Start QT ver. 5 application. Wait for full synchronization.
You will have 0 (ZERO) balance at this point. It's normal.
QT ver. 5 will create new clear wallet on "clear" PC (old Flappycoin folder is renamed to FlappycoinOLD or moved to archive copy (not removed forever !!!) and not seen by application).
So this ZERO in not your balance yet.
Go to debug window.
Type importprivkey yoursavedprivatekey
Press Enter and wait some minutes for full blockchain scan.
Your old wallet with all previous information (old address, coin amount, thansaction data) will be recovered.
Wait for full synchronization.
Exit application.
Save arhive of entire new ..AppData/Roaming/Flappycoin folder in secure place.
Save archive of your new wallet.dat file from ..AppData/Roaming/Flappycoin in secure place.

NEVER LEAVE YOR WALLET.DAT FILE NOR PRIVATEKEY STRING ELSEWHERE IN PUBLIC ACCESSIBLE PLACES !

If you have "several" old wallets with the same address but different coin amount (actually the same wallet from different PC), you will have the last coin amount recorded in blockchain (according to last confirmed transaction for this address).

If you have more than one old wallet, save them all in secure place before any manipulation.
Rename every wallet.dat file to different name (for example, wallet-YEAR-MONTH-DAY.dat) to prevent overwrite.
Make privatekey for every old one
(copy back to old ..AppData/Roaming/Flappycoin folder on first PC
rename wallet-YEAR-MONTH-DAY.dat to standard wallet.dat
start ver.3.2.0 application
dump privatekey and save)

Import every privatekey in QT ver. 5 on second PC and save every new recovered wallet under unique name.

I'm a bit confused. I downloaded the new wallet (its named flappycoin-5 windows qt but confusingly it's version 3.2.0.0 - I think that's just an oversight). I just synced the wallet and then copied over my old wallet dat and the coins show up fine. Will these coins vanish after the swap?
