Yes, it's generally a bad idea to use the same port number as another coin. Many clients will automatically try to connect to the incorrect port, or they may try to connect to the correct port but reach the client of another coin.

Thanks.

Even if I changed at main.cpp's variable, pchMessageStart[4] = { 0xf1, 0xd3, 0x,,.. 0x... }; different with others?

Anyway, so solution is start blockchain again from 0? With unique port number?
How can I know some port number is not used to any others cryptocurrencies or others?

Crypto currency's port number should be different each other?

What happen it is same?

I didn't know and made it same with other crypto currency, and my blockchain's clients seems divided two?

I worked at ubuntu os, made 2 os and 2 wallet, running block explorer (http://bitcoinessence.info/) there,

but after make window build, it does not sync fully with ubuntu wallets and explorer's.

window wallet says block height is 3000, but explorer says 3500.

So now in this situation, what happen I changed port number at source and what happen to balances of clients?

30 guys downloaded and mining now.
