Title: Building a coin for work.
Post by: netoo on April 28, 2015, 02:16:43 AM
Im trying to build a coin for the people at my office to use.   This is not something that will be posted to the public.

Im wanting to use this code base.

https://github.com/doxtyphon/Doxcoin.git

The issue im having is creating the genesis block.  Can anyone help me.

thanks in advance.

Didn't you just post this same thing over in Dev & Tech as well? You should delete or lock one. Mods don't take too kindly to repeat threads over multiple boards. Also you should post more specifics about what issues with the genesis block you are having.

Just curios what the heck are you going to use a crypto coin for at work?  I'm racking my brain and cant really think of a big use for them.  I would guess they would rather have a reward in fiat then a coin only used in office.

We are using it for work incentives.   Lunch / coffee ect..  trade your coins in for something extra.   Just a bonus.  Alot of people at the office have been talking about bitcoin lately and i told them we could setup our own coin.

That could be a fun project, but you could do the same thing with an excel spreadsheet or printed out coupons.
Anyways, what part of generating the genesis block are you having trouble with? What have you done so far? Where do you get stuck?

its been awile since ive played around with coins.  but i remember in the past there was an option in the main.cpp file that i set to true and then recompiled and got the genesis block.  with this new code its not there.

I have made all my changes to the code except getting anywhere with the genesis block.   I tried GenesisH0 but the block it generated did not work.

Sounds like a neat idea after you talked about it.  I personally have not set up my own coin, but sounds fun.  If you can't get it working there is always people in services selling to set up coins.

Yea ive seen the services out there.  I just rather do it my self.  It will look good also if i can deliver. "in the bosses eyes" :)     I cloned a coin for fun about a year ago but i like the new posV2 in this new code.
