Title: Create zcash altcoin?
Post by: crypt0biwan on January 17, 2017, 04:06:08 PM
Hi guys,

I was wondering what needs to be done to create an altcoin with zcash as the source.
Of course the coin name, code, dns seeds, port numbers, checkpoints, images etc. have to be replaced, but I'm looking for the harder parts.
Was thinking about these steps for now:

  • Change pszTimestamp
  • Change founder reward addresses
  • Generate genesis hash, nonce and solution <-- stuck here for now
  • Change alert keys

Does anyone know what needs to be done to create one?
I looked at zclassic for the differences but I don't know how to generate a new genesis hash, nonce and solution.
If anyone can help me out with that, I'll show you some love (small BTC fee)

Hope you can help me. If you don't want to post here (because it's public) then send me a dm.

Best, crypt0biwan
