no replies  Huh I shall assume either "I dont care" "I never made an altcoin, or even had an interest in one" or "answering you will be only waste of my precious time" is what most people are thinking right now?
I thought someone might help me to understand things even though I am not a noob. oh well, i should go ask for altcoin help on FIAT discussion website?  Roll Eyes

I was working on a litecoin source where i modified it to generate a new genesis block. It went all good. I started the client. Now I have a problem that since its a new coin, the wallet keeps saying 1 hour behind from network, and no block source available, because its new genesis block, and has nothing to do with litecoin's blocks.

the question is how do I setup a node? Since this is the pc where I created the genesis block. I thought it would keep itself connected and sync new blocks. (Even though there are no miners on network, it should still sync).

I even added daemon=1 and then run the wallet on 2 different PCs. And I still couldn't sync.

I might be wrong here. How exactly do you people sync a new coin or setup a node?
I appreciate your help. Keep in mind all of the process done here by me is to understand how the cryptocurrency works.
