Topic: How to get a dead coin back to life ? Unstuck wallet & solomine (Read 62 times)
A dead coin always leave behind a sad memory for those who invested in the project, the reason for the coin to end up dead can't be erased, this is why it's wise to build projects from scratch, this is just an advice
Hello everyone,
One year ago, I discovered an almost dead altcoin based on x16r.
I spent a lot of time trying and finally successed to solomine the coin using ccminer.
I noticed that if I stopped mining for several minutes, I got a "get work failed" message on ccminer, and wallet stop synchronized.
The solution I found was to use a pool, once I mined a block, wallet synchronized and I was able to solomine again.
Now, the pool has been closed
.
A small community still exist and at least 10 peers are found by my wallet. However, I'm unable to synchronize my wallet... I think that no block has been mined and wallets are stuck.
I have another problem and I don't know if it's related: I can't get the last block mined.
I'm stuck on "synchronizing headers". If I use the "rebuild index option", I download around 300-500 blocks from peers (exactly 5MB). When I reach 90-97% in "synchronizing headers", I'm disconnected from peers (0 found, none list on banned, and sometimes one appears for 1 or 2 seconds) and I stop downloading new blocks.
My logs are:

I've tried to invalidate/ reconsider block, solution found on a Raven forum. Other computers have the same problem (worse, if I reinstall the wallet, I have the same problem but from block 0).
I'm thinking of different solutions but as I'm not an expert and I will be happy to have your point of view:
1. Make an explorer, using a server (will it be able to fully synchronize the blockchain if no wallet can?)
2. Force ccminer to get work without waiting the wallet to synchronize.
3.Use a local blockchain and then reconnect with the network. I may need to use last block time (24 weeks ago), I don’t want to wait 24 weeks before getting it work.
This question is both theoretical and practical, and I think it may be helpful in the future.
I don’t seek to revive the project. But I’m interested in knowing how to get a blockchain work again.
Thank you very much for reading me. I’m looking forward for your replies.
