won't necessarily tell you a lot, many are just cloning their wallets from another... with whatever there is in it

Look for the place in the code where new blocks are created:

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/miner.cpp#L496-L518
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/hash.h

This is a new topic
if I saw the source code of a coin, how can I know which algorithm it use so that I can select the miner?
How can I know the algorithm is X11 X13 or x15 or bitcoin sha256 etc?
from the miner.cpp or ?
Thanks
