i think its not good to mine anymore with cpu. Maybe u should use your GPU better for this.

Read the damn thread at least before you proceed with your signature link spam, he wants to start a new chain, not mine bitcoin with his CPU.

To OP: shouldn't be too hard to achieve this, I'd suggest you look up some tutorials on how to do this, there are quite a few on Youtube even, good luck!

basically you are wanting to start a new bitcoin chain (using the original client) without modifying any code. this will only give you grief.

modifying any coin codebase is not too difficult. you will ideally want to create a different genesis block hash and at a minimum update the pchMessage bytes (or p2p magic) so it does not attempt to 'sync' from other known bitcoin nodes.

keep in mind that the difficulty will never 'always stay at 1', it will do this for the first 2016 blocks then readjust according to your cpu mining speed.

if he limit the hash to make so that the diff remain at 1 it is possible to do it

the op want to make his own altcoin, to mine plenty of coin at the beginning, it will be worth zero if none will know about it

I want to start complete new blockchain (exactly as satoshi did in 2009)

I will mine myself ONLY so difficulty will be always in 1 range so CPU is more than enough for this task

So my question is: how to setup OLD bitcoin-0.1.3 to start mining (what exactly I need to do so after I click: Options > Generate Coins I'm able to start mining)?

Please reply ONLY if You know the answer don't comment or judge this because You don't know what I want to achieve and why

Thanks

If I understand, you want to start your own
bitcoin testnet network ?

You don't understand what I want to do and your "advice" is ..........

I don't want to mine BTC (with sky high diff. so even GPU is obsolete for few years now)

I want to start from scratch to mine ALONE with constant diff. = 1

As I see I must post this question on freelancer site because this question is too diff. for bitcointalk "members" (over 70 members see this and no answer)

It might help people better understand if you do tell them what you want to achieve and why.

Because bitcoin-0.1.3 don't mine alone I presume I need to setup a small network of PC to simulate mining conditions in 2009 days (I believe sotoshi mined alone or with help of few friends in 2009)?
