may it be because the pow block value is not fixed?

Yeah.. I guess it can't solve the genesisblock of e.g. PeerCoin. There are some different "magic numbers" in the block, at least the CBigNum(4) -> CBigNum(9999)

Dude. That's a nice one. Seriously, cool hack.

Now for extra credit, figure out how to make it work for systems that dare to change the format of the block header. Cheesy

Just kidding. If they're changing the format of the block header, they can figure it out on their own.

Hi, do you know if it is possible to obtain genesis with pos coins without fixed block value?

thanks and your software is amazing

Can you be more specific?
The script accepts a value parameter:

Code:

-v VALUE, --value=VALUE
the value in coins for the output, full value (exp. in bitcoin 5000000000 - To get other coins value: Block Value * 100000000)
