Does that coin even have testnet code working and debugged rather than maybe for example being unchanged from whatever coin it was cloned from?

Do you have testnet nodes running to connect to?

Are you telling your testnet nodes about each other so they can find each other?

Hi everyone,

I've been following the scrypt_altcoin_cloining tutorial on devtome but am stuck on the mining part to this tutorial.

Having trouble mining on -testnet for barcoin from this tutorial.

I've setup two Linux Mint VM's using Oracle VirtualBox.
Network settings are Bridged Adapter/Promiscuous Mode set to Allow All.
I have disabled all firewalls.   
My port on -testnet is 40442. I am not using port forwarding as there is no option with the Bridged Adapter.

After running ./barcoin from both VM's i.e. typing ./barcoin -testnet -connect=192.168.1.12 & (and again for the second with the firsts IP address)

I get a message  [1] 3456 followed by the prompt (this number changes randomly each time I run it).
Then when I try to do ./barcoin getinfo to check the status
I get error:could not connect to server
barcoin is still running in the background though as I can see it hashing in the debug file.

If this makes sense to anybody here or anybody here had this issue before or can help solve this problem there's a tip in it for you.
