Topic: *** Complete Guide on How to Create a New Alt Coin *** - page 6. (Read 165958 times)
The easier how to make a new altcoin gets, the more prone this forum and the entire world of crypto will be flooded with new coins. We have already almost a thousand coins. And most of it are shitcoins and the rest are poopcoins. They are without real use in the real world.
If I make poop coin will you mine it?
version 0.7.* should work, and not sure if .8 would work too
0.7 version of which code? I wasn't able to find a 0.7 branch in either bitcoin or litecoin.
I got struck up following the guide for the latest version of bitcoin code. Is there any specific version of bitcoin code which is apt for this guide?
This might work (it is mentioned in the tutorial)

Thanks a lot for helping me out. Yes, I did look at that github. But when I try to build it, It gave an openssl error
Code:
fatal error 'openssl/bn.h' file not found'
OS: macOS Sierra 10.12
Openssl:
OpenSSL 0.9.8zh 14 Jan 2016
built on: Jul 30 2016
platform: darwin64-x86_64-llvm

OPENSSLDIR: "/System/Library/OpenSSL"
But the latest bitcoin or litecoin code builds perfectly.
version 0.7.* should work, and not sure if .8 would work too
If you mean Bitcoin, yes, it would work, but you need to do
more things than what is provided in the opening post.

May i translate this post and upload it to my blog?
I have a mindblowing idea for a coin need a team. Are you developer fish can we do a setup?
lol, glad to see people still interested in my "how-to" 4 years ago
Thanks a lot for the detailed guide. I was searching for this for many days. This was the closest to what I was trying to do.
By the way, The code has changed a lot in the most recent version of bitcoin's repo. I was facing issues with OpenSSL headers when I tried to run the older version of the code.
I managed to change the parameters in chainparams.cpp and get the new hashblock and merkle hash. But stuck at finding the checkpoint methods that you mentioned in the guide. Without updating those the core is trying to load the checkpoints from disk and ends up in segmentation fault.
Any solution or direction I need to look into might help. Thanks a lot again.

it is easier with older versions, the newest one have changed a little bit, and can be harder, good luck with that
Thanks I'll read that later and try that one out. Thanks for sharing.
Did you try the guide yourself, and how good is it?
you could try this one

it is a good start point, but if you are going to code with latest release, this guide is obsolote, lot of things have changed since it was created.
So it needs to be updated, most of all, how to create the genesis block.

Does there exist any new such thread, with current reality, how to create a coin?
Or it`s the same?

Oh yes, looks like a lot of fun! Trying this out now.
Does the guide need to be updated? Who found they needed to do a bit of extra research? I'm finding I have to look elsewhere to change port numbers for a start...
Thanks for the guide to making new altcoins
Love it! I hope to learn quite a bit from tinkering with the source and creating a nothing coin. 
Thanks a lot its really awesome being a decade as a programmer i never thought to create a coin . Now its given initial pushing thing .I got some priority work to finish once done i will dedicate some time and try to create coin . i have C++ in college days even i dont think its a big deal .
I know this is old but it's worth learning.
