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.

Solo Mine
To solo make a bottlecaps.conf text file with

rpcuser=USERNAME
rpcpassword=x
rpcallowip=192.168.*.*
rpcport=8385
addnode=69.85.86.195
daemon=1
server=1
listen=1

and save it into C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\BottleCaps Restart wallet and mine to your ip and the port

Still having trouble solo mining? The thread below shows how to do it for litecoin and essentially you just need to use bottlecaps for the name instead
