when i run the bitcoin-cli, i got the error

error code: -28
error message:
Loading wallet...

In the protocol.h, the error meaning is:

RPC_IN_WARMUP                   = -28, //!< Client still warming up

i only changed the timestamp, when starting bitcoind, i got the error in debug.log

2018-05-24 07:50:44 mapAddressBook.size() = 1
2018-05-24 07:50:44 ERROR: ReadBlockFromDisk: Errors in block header at CBlockDiskPos(nFile=0, nPos=8)
2018-05-24 07:50:44 *** Failed to read block
2018-05-24 07:50:44 Error: Error: A fatal internal error occurred, see debug.log for details

It is solved by running bitcoind with -reindex

No it's not enough.
Read some guide, for example this one:
Complete Guide on How to Create a New Alt Coin

I read it.

i found a good link
https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/13122/scriptsig-coinbase-structure-of-the-genesis-block

i tried to print out the value in chainparams.cpp before assert in line 125. But value is printed out as 0x0,  and 0x103?

Quote
fprintf(stdout,"0x%x\n",consensus.hashGenesisBlock);
fprintf(stdout,"0x%x\n",genesis.hashMerkleRoot);

the warning is : format specifies type 'unsigned int' but the argument has type 'uint256'

Update: use this to print uint256. They are string.

fprintf(stdout,"%s\n", consensus.hashGenesisBlock.ToString().c_str());
fprintf(stdout,"%s\n",genesis.hashMerkleRoot.ToString().c_str());

what do you mean by private bitcoin core chain?
1) bitcoin core it's just a client, so use bitcoin blockchain term.
2) do you want to fork bitcoin codebase? In this case you have to change more parameters than genesis block: port number, magic message number ect.
3) But if you just want to run private bitcoin blockchain for your own testing or something similar, you don't have to change anything Smiley just start daemon with -regtest option.

Thank you. I would like to fork bitcoin code base.

In src/chainparams.cpp

Can i just change the timestamp and genesis output script, to create a customised bitcoin ?

To start a customised private bitcoin core blockchain, all i need to do is:

1) change the genesis block
2) change the timestamp of genesis block

is there anything else?
