Hi, sorry for forgetting to reply.
I was meaning that If I change the letters so was "styling" or making it diferent from bitcoin ones, nevermind it, ill keep them from bitcoin, i guess it doesnt matter
Keep them the same yeah. The only downside is that the users of your altcoin can't distinguish the addresses of bitcoin and yours. Again, leave that for later, build your altcoin first.
Could youplease tell me how I am supposed to test the coin if I did not managed to finish it? I mean, before building it i guess
You can't test the coin without building the binaries.
I was meaning to edit them
Yes you can edit them, but it's not required. The only thing that it is required to change for your altcoin to not be considered bitcoin is the pchMessageStart values. These define if you're following bitcoin's chain or not.
Hello again blackhat! I am back, sorry for this month outside
I am continuing the project and after fixing all the images of the coin with the right ones, I am stucked and also I have some questions:
1- right now in Ubuntu LTS comand (into windows) and my XXXXcoin folder is inside, wich I assume when i log as root on the terminal of ubuntu, it is already opened that folder, (like when we do cd .. C:\Users\ASUS\AppData\Local\Packages\CanonicalGroupLimited.Ubuntu18.04onWindows_79rhkp1fndgsc\LocalState\rootfs\home\mironkraft\XxxxCoin) if it is ok, or i have to enter some code to reach that to resumen where i was, tell me please
2- on your tutorial, you say at:
Most notepads change permissions when we mess with LTS. That's why you must run the following lines:
cd src
sudo chmod 640 validation.cpp
sudo chmod 640 chainparams.cpp
sudo chmod 640 chainparamsbase.cpp
cd consensus
sudo chmod 640 consensus.h
cd ..
cd ..
This is mandatory? as far as I understand if I dont have problems with Sublime Text and the files it is not needed right?
3- before building, how I am suposed to change the genesis block exactly? I already know that I have to go to:
https://github.com/liveblockchain/genesisgenbut how I modify every line? where is the archive? where I am suposed to comply inside of the XxxxCoin folder?
this is how i have it right now:
I know that i have to open the archive and edit some lines, the mithycal phrase as other options
(old tutorial where it says:
https://medium.com/@jordan.baczuk/how-to-fork-bitcoin-part-2-59b9eddb49a4)
Do you mind to help me to achieve it correctly?
Other later questions in mind:1- once finished the genesis block configuration, how i am supossed to build this rightly? wich are the "codes" to enter on terminal for it?
When it is finished, we build with the following commands:
PATH=$(echo "$PATH" | sed -e 's/:\/mnt.*//g')
sudo bash -c "echo 0 > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/status"
cd depends
make HOST=x86_64-w64-mingw32
cd ..
./autogen.sh
CONFIG_SITE=$PWD/depends/x86_64-w64-mingw32/share/config.site ./configure --prefix=/
make
The files to open the new Altcoin Core are in
altcoin/src/qt:
2- how to mining the first block? wich steps I should follow?
3- how to save the genesis block of the chain in the computer? I mean, for later use if the chain is being mined from diferent clients and I wan to update it?
4- how I am supossed to update it in the future? should I upload it to github once is start mining? how?
sorry again for my bad english
Thanks for your time and patience till now, hope you dont let me down!
