Topic: How to make your own alt (Read 808 times)
Well remember to make it a unique different network of its own, so that it does not think some other coin's clients are its own clients and connect to them instead of or as well as its own clients...
Are you seriously trying to claim that google cannot find any of the huge amounts of stuff that has been written about it?
That the search function of this forum cannot find any of the threads that go through it all? Etc?
If so then maybe you should just page through the altcoins forum page by page back a few years and do some kind of search engine optimising or something (creating links to them) to help make sure google can find the stuff in the future.
Such as, for example, the complete teach yourself to make altcoins package that includes a before coin and an after coin showing an existing coin you start from and the changes to do and the end coin you end up with having made those changes.

I believe you can make an alt with the same fork.
I'll try compiling it later.

Study all the many articles already posted including blow by blow how-to articles and sample code and so on

well first you post a post about making an alt coin, then beg for btc donations.. then you read and learn.. thats first steps.
Study all the many articles already posted including blow by blow how-to articles and sample code and so on; and of course simply study the entire source code until you understand what it all does and why.

That doesn't make an alt, it makes a blockchain-fork of the litecoin blockchain.
In other words it is an attack on litecoin, not a separate coin-network of its own.

sooo how do you make it a network of its own...In other words it is an attack on litecoin, not a separate coin-network of its own.

change the genesis block?

Ok I haven't tested it yet, but I think I get the gist of it.
Here it goes.
1.go to the litecoin site
2.go to their github page
3.open the src folder
4.open main.cpp
5.scroll down until you find
change values accordingly
6.click on main.h
7.scroll down to MAX_MONEY and change the values to the amount of coins that will be mined.
8.compile
I'm still trying to find out how to change the difficulty adjustments.
On the mean time please drop some mBTC on my e-tin cup

Code:

int64 nSubsidy = 50 * COIN; //amount of coins rewarded for block
// Subsidy is cut in half every 840000 blocks, which will occur approximately every 4 years
nSubsidy >>= (nHeight / 840000); // Litecoin: 840k blocks in ~4 years
return nSubsidy + nFees;
}
static const int64 nTargetTimespan = 3.5 * 24 * 60 * 60; // Litecoin: 3.5 days
static const int64 nTargetSpacing = 2.5 * 60; // Litecoin: 2.5 minutes
