Installation instructions Windows QT:
1. Close your client and delete the folder that contains Bottlecaps
2. Install the new client
3. Click Start and search Run.
4. Run the location %appdata%
5. Navigate to roaming/Bottlecaps
6. Delete everything in this folder accept Wallet.dat and BottleCaps.conf
7. In your Bottlecaps.conf folder remove all nodes and add the following
listen=1
addnode=50.137.233.14
addnode=69.10.44.115
addnode=192.64.86.238
8. Start BottleCaps client
For users who dont know how to Create/ Edit a .Conf file I will update the sample provided below often along with the update time. Simply place the file in the folder user/appdata/roaming/bottlecaps Which can also be found by Start button / search "run", then run %appdata% navigate to roaming / bottlecaps
You will need to download the blockchain from the start but it should sync right to the correct chain no problem. If your client pauses on a specific block for a long period of time simply restart your client as it is sifting through bad peers restarting get will you on your way. If not deleting peers.dat and restarting also might help
If you are still having problems syncing to the correct chain Pm me or John Eden for further assistance. But I put much time into assuring it would not sync to an incorrect chain.
