Here we have Doubloons v11 (Queen Anne's Revenge):

To ensure you're on the right chain, check with http://explorer.doubloons.net and verify block height once your client finishes synching. You may experience slow synching as there are a lot of blocks orphaned around 267200, if needs be, you can clear your %appdata%\Doubloons folder (but not your wallet.dat!) and resynch.
Adding this to your .conf may help as well:
This can help synch the correct blocks and mirrors the seednodes internal to this new v11 client. Since shakezula's gone on to deeper waters, we have no way to update the main post, so pass this info around to your DBL compadres!
Cryptsy has been notified to upgrade and we anticipate they should be back on the correct chain in a few days time. Once transactions are flowing and blocks are happy again, we'll proceed to the next step of bringing the code up to more recent levels and possibly hard-forking for diff or coin-swapping to a new algo, but again, this a step in the right direction. We'll get DBL riding the high seas again!

Cool DBL always was my favorite scrypt coin, not want to see it gone in oblivion
DBL always was my favorite scrypt coin, not want to see it gone in oblivion haha i could tell! btw just saw your signature, might want to change where it says skydrive to onedrive lol

DBL always was my favorite scrypt coin, not want to see it gone in oblivion Is it not easier just put DBL patches into 0.9 LTC client?
That's what we'd like to do but we want to rectify the forking first. From some extensive fiddling with this last night here's where we stand:
The_Catman's client doesn't reliably want to synch past block 267269 on some machines. We think this is where the first fork started.
Explorer.doubloons.net is the authoritative chain at this point with 324072 (and climbing) blocks. This is the longer chain and should win-out.
Cryptsy hasn't responded to us about which block height they are at--but as mentioned we've already begun discussions with them about getting DBL fixed and they are receptive.
Here's what we're looking at doing:
The explorer's chain will be considered authoritative.
An updated DBL client which has correct checkpoints and additional seednodes will be released in the next day or two. This client will not be a hard fork (yet) and will be geared at getting everyone back in-synch with the new seednodes and explorer.
Once Cryptsy is updated to the newest code and back in-synch, we'll push out an updated-updated version of the client which will shut off the old nodes from connecting AND bring the code-base up to more recent standards.
Watch for the new client to be here in the next day or two!
this sounds great! glad to see this coin being revived!

Ok, so long time no fixes for this client. After a botched diff adjustment by The_Catman and subsequent slacking of any further deveopment and current forking, we think its time we cut our losses and do a complete overhaul of this chain.
We have contacted Cryptsy about the following plan and have received tentative buy-in from them:
Create a new Doubloons Client, forking to something new, X11 or X8 are both attractive options.
Client will have tx messaging in the system and use the same public key addressing as the old blockchain.
We'll manage a swap out 1:1 of the coins, making it as easy as possible, send in your old coin, get new coin back at same address (or new) and import your privkeys keeping your existing DBL addresses intact. Swap out will be managed and verifiable via block chain and transactions and we won't be changing the existing total of coins.
So here's notice that is our plan and we're putting in to motion over the next week or two. A new client and thread will be created and you'll all get the giggles being able to mine and trade DBL's again!

Once people can deposit DBL's again the market will be flooded, crash and burn, bye bye doubloons.
What makes you think so really?
Miners have been mining for 2 months now without selling. People that wanted to sell into the pump couldn't so they will still want to make a profit if possible. I'm out
Well, i just hope people start withdrawing coins soon, starting to get around 3k in hot wallet, and 16k in cold wallet reserved for Miners.
surprised anyone can actually even move dbl around, pretty much a dead coin.
Yeah, the windows client is broken, not even on the same blockchain as the github version.
So to move the coins you need to install the linux version

sorry forgot to change to the right blockchain, will fix it now. btw the windows wallet is useless, seems like it running on another blockchain, you will need to use the linux wallet to recieve coins, the pool is running on the linux build =)

Is this a reasonable coin?
Whats are its benefits in comparison to others?

The_Catman and shakezula haven't been online since April. 
Should we consider a community take over? Maybe if we organise this well enough we could get a couple of new exchanges to accept Doubloons too.

that sounds like a great idea!
Doubloons great concept, extremely poor execution. If it was fixed, well rebuilt, keeping the same low coin vol it could be a hit.
