OK, this one will updated, no more reposting.
We finally have a working TEK again. Of course, caution should be exercised.
0. Everywhere on this tutorial case matters, especially on Unix (Mac and Linux). "T" is not the same letter a "t".
1. Backup your wallet (
%appdata%/Teckcoin/wallet.dat on Windows,
~/.tekcoin/wallet.dat on Unix). Ideally two instances on two USB disks.
2. Empty your wallet folder (
%appdata%/Teckcoin on Windows,
~/.tekcoin on Unix - Mac and Linux)
3. Copy your backup wallet on the now-empty folder (copy, not move - keep these backups!)
4. In the same wallet folder, create a
tekcoin.conf (if you're on Mac of Linux) or
tekcoin.config (if you're on Windows) file with the following code:
listen=0
addnode=74.196.63.95
addnode=75.90.67.140
addnode=188.168.134.55
addnode=159.205.243.208
addnode=94.220.6.66
addnode=69.181.230.66
addnode=108.61.10.90
addnode=62.116.254.204
addnode=193.53.89.147
addnode=98.162.248.8
addnode=75.152.82.196If you are using notepad.exe, you will have to change the .txt extension to .conf. How to do this is beyond the scope of this tutorial[/tt].5. Download the latest wallet (see addresses on the OP

https://www.dropbox.com/s/y17rjlji1ruxgsv/tekcoin-Qt-2.0.1.0-Mac.zip?dl=0For Linux users, until there is a binary available, you must manually change Makefile to remove this character string several times: mgw48- - this is an oversight, it will hopefully get fixed later on.Presently, the wallet includes neither the newer layout nor checkpoints.6. Run this command (you can ignore this step if you have a pre-forks backup at hand)
Tekcoin-qt.exe --salvagewallet
We assume you know how to open up a terminal ("DOS window").For Unix users, replace Tekcoin-qt.exe with Tekcoin-qt.it will redownload the whole blockchain, which is long but necessary, you'd better not just keep the old blockchain.You can know if you are on the correct blockchain by typing getinfo in the console or use the stats tab on new GUI. The correct chain is on block 510264For information, the repair wallet button on the GUI will only look to fill in missing pieces, whilst --salvagewallet will actually attempt to recreate your wallet. If you have coins stuck in unconfirmed even after using Repair wallet, use -rescan.
Note that, if you want to have something closer to the advertised 40%, you should WAIT before stacking, because of high competition (and thus, do not leave you wallet open more than for checking it works). Please note this is not an evidence that NVCS is really working as it should, only that under exceptional circumstances, it does sort work - but this is still not sure it works as intended. Presstab elaborated on this.
