Thanks, it seens a good manual.
A scrypt based coin clone tutorial also works for a SHA256 coin?

that i don't know sorry, but cannot be that different.

The guide above however is correct, i tried it time ago and everything worked fine. Good luck!

Hello everyone!

(i'm not a native speaker of english, so 'forgive me' for any grammar mistakes i may commit)

I'm looking to create an exact clone of Bitcoin, no change in any parameters, just a copy and rename process (for educational purposes and testing).

However i suspect that some minimal necessary changes must be done in the code for functionality.
That some parameters must not be left as same as in the original coin, probably in blockchain configuration to avoid chains to intermingle (?), also some changes in ports (?)

I'm not a programmer, i'm a philosofy student with a project that requires empirical research with bitcoins.

So the main question is: 'If i wish to make a simple rename clone of Bitcoin, what are the other lines that must also be obligatory changed in the original code?'

...and, well... i also don't even know in the end how to compile the coin and launch it online... i'm completely lost.
