Title: How to create a Altcoin? Post by: Tekrommus on September 26, 2015, 09:52:52 PM How to create a Altcoin?
1) I have forked all the files in the source code on https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin 2) Then I have changed the following in the entire source code. I used a search and replace tool. 2a) bitcoin to examplecoin 2b) BITCOIN to EXAMPLECOIN 2c) Bitcoin to Examplecoin 2d) BitCoin to ExampleCoin 2e) btc to eec 2f) BTC to EEC 2g) Btc to Eec 2h) BtC to EeC 3) Then I have changed all of the files names from bitcoinfile.xx to examplefile.xx. Can I just upload the files onto Github.com? Is there anything else I have to do before hand? Title: Re: How to create a Altcoin?

Also..nice web site very clear,i love it. Title: Re: How to create a Altcoin? Post by: Rias on November 09, 2015, 10:29:31 AM Why forking Bitcoin? As a new fork it won't get a lot of benefits from its codebase except for the broad infrastructure.
However, there are other available platforms that may provide a number features on top of Bitcoin. For instance, take a look at CryptoNote and its forking guide (https://cryptonotestarter.org/). The CryptoNote coins are untraceable and use egalitarian mining algo (you won't overrun by large miners on start as you might be with a Bitcoin fork). CryptoNote's infrastructure is way behind Bitcoin's, but still you have everything you might need and the ecosystem is growing. Title: Re: How to create a Altcoin?

You haven't changed your ports, the genesis hash, nodes, parameters, checkpoints, nonce, hex,... only the name What you created is just plain old bitcoin, but your bitcoin-cli and wallet will show the name "examplecoin" while still using the bitcoin blockchain. Every transaction you make will just be translated into bitcoins when you send it... For your question about github: you're free to upload any sourcecode to them, even tough i fail to see the added value in your project :) Title: Re: How to create a Altcoin?

Post by: Shibashi Dogemoto on November 09, 2015, 01:22:54 PM Why make a clone of Bitcoin? Everybody is free to do what they want, this can be a fine learning experience... However, what OP did wasn't cloning bitcoin, it was just recompiling bitcoin and generating a UI where the word "bitcoin" was replaced with "examplecoin"... nothing more, nothing less. His version would still use the bitcoin blockchain, generate bitcoin transactions, show the amount of bitcoins in the bitcoin addresses managed by the wallet, only the word bitcoin would have been replaced.

Please check this forum for older threads on this topic, like https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=225690.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=225690.0). I would also recommend you to read carefully through the Announcement Altcoins Board (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=159.0) to check what will probably go wrong if you try to folk the original bitcoin code... 8) |
