1. QT Wallet (VPS INSTUCTIONS BELOW)

As always make sure you have a valid backup of your wallet.dat stored somewhere.

Open QT and go to Settings-Options and click on ‘Open Configuration File’ this will open syscoin.conf in a text editor.

Add ## on the first line then reindex=1 on the second line, it does not matter what else is in the syscoin.conf file it could be empty.

Save this change and close and open QT, this will start a reindex from 0 blocks, your balance will not show immediately.

Whilst this is reindexing open the syscoin.conf again and remove reindex=1 and save the syscoin.conf file again (you can leave the ## line in) , this will stop it reindexing next time you open QT.

You can also check against the explorer that you are on the correct block

In the console type

getblockcount

Explorer

chainz.cryptoid.info

2. Script Install on a VPS

Log into Putty as root and just type on 1 line

sudo service syscoind stop && sleep 10 && sudo su -c 'syscoind -reindex' syscoin

This will stop syscoind and reindex on start

Once sync has finished you can check you are on the correct block by typing

syscli getblockcount

And compare against the explorer linked above.

To check version type

syscli getnetworkinfo

3. Manual Install on VPS

Log into Putty as your user and just type

~/syscoin/src/syscoin-cli stop
~/syscoin/src/syscoind -reindex

To check blocks

~/syscoin/src/syscoin-cli getblockcount

And compare against the explorer linked above.

To check version

~/syscoin/src/syscoin-cli getnetworkinfo

DONE
