Are you sure you have Show Hidden Files active?

yes sir.

When i
Code:
ls -a
it doesn't come up.

Even If I
Code:
find .shitcoin
it doesnt come up either.

I git cloned & compiled the original Blackcoin source & when i
Code:
cd
to the location the .blackcoin folder is there.

when i
Code:
ls -a
in the directory its there.

Even if i
Code:
find .blackcoin
it will show up.

Im doing everything the same exact way..

I think that folder's normally created when you first run the wallet. Have you tried that (or did I miss it?)

Thanks, ill try that..

Well, I didnt want to get bashed for trying to teach myself something out of boredom.

I decided to fork blackcoin for fun, I changed all the goodies, & now im up to generating the merkel hash.

i compiled it on ubuntu 14.04 but it doesnt create the hidden data directory folder.
I even tried creating it myself, and specifying it using the -datadir & didnt work either.

I used find and replace to change everything blackcoin, Blackcoin, BlackCoin, & BC to my shitty coin name, which is shitcoin lol.

.blackcoin nor .shitcoin gets created after i compile my source.

I downloaded & compiled blackcoin & it does indeed create the .blackcoin folder so im thinking it has to do something with my renaming process?

Linux wallet compiles but doesn't create data directory folder that needs the config file & contains wallet.dat?

any help would be appreciated

Look at "$HOME/.bitcoin" this happened to me, bitcoind needs this variable set.

Plus create the config file, then run bitcoind!
