When sending between two clients, an error message occurs -
Fee estimation failed. Fallbackfee is disabled. Wait a few blocks or endable -fallbackfee.
What does this mean, and how do I fix it?

Great to see this 
. I think there are so many members are looking for this. But why don't you provide a service about creating new altcoin in this forum?
I think you can earn a lot of money by this way. Beside as I can see there are some members also provide service like this and it's really good

By the way, I also suggest you guys to read the following altcoin tutorial as well because it is including the how to retrieve the private key of genesis coinbase address in order to spend the block reward of genesis block: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/how-to-make-an-altcoin-1030365
For anyone interested in increasing/decreasing the max block size weight then open ~/bitcoin/src/consensus/consensus.h and change MAX_BLOCK_WEIGHT from 4000000 (4MB) to any size you want.
Github reference: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/consensus/consensus.h#L15
Alternative block size scaling solution here: https://gist.github.com/sipa/c65665fc360ca7a176a6

Everything runs well after following this guide, however there are SEGWIT errors when sending from client to client wallets. Can we expand on resetting the SEGWIT parameters in chainparams.cpp?
May 27, 2018, 09:37:39 PM
The default value of DEFAULT_MAX_TIP_AGE
which is equal to 86400.
I have set the value of nMaxTipAge to be multiplied by 4000.
Why it is not reflected in the bitcoind, it is still 86400, and must be set in command line with -maxtipage ?
Code:
src/validation.h:static const int64_t DEFAULT_MAX_TIP_AGE = 24 * 60 * 60;
I have set the value of nMaxTipAge to be multiplied by 4000.
Code:
src/validation.cpp:int64_t nMaxTipAge = DEFAULT_MAX_TIP_AGE * 4000;
May 27, 2018, 07:49:35 AM
why we need to add -maxtipage=$((24*60*60*5000)) to first node , so that getblocktemplate can work ?
first node:
src/bitcoind -debug=rpc -dns=0 -dnsseed=0 -datadir=../datadir/ -connect=0 -maxtipage=432000000 -daemon
second node:
src/bitcoind -debug=rpc -addnode=127.0.0.1:8963 -dns=0 -dnsseed=0 -datadir=../datadir_1/ -daemon
first node:
src/bitcoind -debug=rpc -dns=0 -dnsseed=0 -datadir=../datadir/ -connect=0 -maxtipage=432000000 -daemon
second node:
src/bitcoind -debug=rpc -addnode=127.0.0.1:8963 -dns=0 -dnsseed=0 -datadir=../datadir_1/ -daemon
In the case you generated a new genesis block then you don't need for maxtipage, just run your miner and start mining.
I modified the timestamp, the nonce, in order to generate a new genesis block. But i still need to run bitcoind with maxtipage, so that getblocktemplate can work.
if i run bitcoind as: src/bitcoind -debug=rpc -dns=0 -dnsseed=0 -datadir=../datadir/ -connect=0 -daemon
i get the following errors:
Quote
src/bitcoin-cli -datadir=../datadir/ getblocktemplate
error code: -10
error message:
Bitcoin is downloading blocks...
error code: -10
error message:
Bitcoin is downloading blocks...
Since i have generated a new genesis block, why must bitcoind be run with maxtipage ?
In validation.cpp, IsInitialBlockDownload()
Code:
if (chainActive.Tip()->GetBlockTime() < (GetTime() - nMaxTipAge))
return true;
With default value of nMaxTipAge of 86400, that function IsInitialBlockDownload returns true, so bitcoind will go on download blocks.
The purpose of setting a large number to maxtipage, is to make bitcoind think that initial block has been downloaded, so bitcoind will NOT download initial block.

Thanks a lot.
I have set up and began mining, but have not mined Block 1 several hours.
Should I modify the difficulty of POW ? and how to ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, what's your command line to run bitcoind and the miner?
Thank you for your kindly reply, I have made some mistakes, right now corrected and run well.
Thank you for your nice guide again, there is nothing incorrect.

after i made more changes , the customised bitcoind works! The changes can be applied to bitcoin core v0.15.1.
this is how i run bitcoind

Thanks for the guide, it has helped me a lot since I'm running latest Bitcoin Core version.
However I'm having some trouble with the mining part: [Solved+Fix] Issue with mined coins of my altcoin

Issue was successfully fixed, you better go check it out because if you are running Bitcoin Core with HD enabled (MANDATORY!) then you have to apply the fix to your Minerd/CPU Miner/-Multi.

I do generate my own genesis block. It seems that it is just keeping downloading.

When I run ./bitcoin-cli getblocktemplate, I got:
Code:
error code: -10
error message:

The code change looks right, for the first node, don't use -addnode, becuase the second node hasn't started yet, also add "-connect=0 -listen=1 -maxtipage=$((24*60*60*5000))" to it, for second node, use addnode to add the first node.
One more question, I found that the first node will not download the blocks from second one (first node is still at block 0). I also run a third node which connects to the second node. The third node will also not download the blocks (still at block 0 and the getblocktemplate works fine). Why?

It works! Thank you very much! Your instruction is very useful!
Fews details I want to ask you. Mining only works for second node. So the connection is one way only?
I found that connects is pretty unstable (sometime connections would be disconnected). why?
