Title: [ANN] Genesis Block Generator Post by: Remember remember the 5th of November on April 21, 2013, 03:50:39 AM Ok,
So basically do not expect the best code, I could have done things in there that aren't efficient, or just plain simply wrong and that would be because I don't know how to do them in a different way. The code is here http://pastebin.com/nhuuV7y9, pure C. No binaries for obvious reasons. The code relies on OpenSSL. Since you will need OpenSSL either way, as it is a Bitcoin dependency, I believe it won't be an issue. *Implemented Genesis Block finder Cons

Title: Re: [ANN] Genesis Block Generator Post by: scintill on April 21, 2013, 04:54:22 AM Interesting, the Litecoin genesis block seems to have a Unicode "smart quote" (fancier apostrophe) encoded in UTF-8.

Title: Re: [ANN] Genesis Block Generator Post by: Cassey on February 18, 2014, 06:17:26 PM Perhaps a bit blunt, but the point is valid. Creating a coin is NOT for the faint of heart - I know I just launched one last week. Probably put in 32+ hours and more likely 60+ (it was a blurry several weeks) making slow incremental progress followed by long periods of frustrations. Yes, getting your genesis key build is a highlight, but there are dozens of other things to consider, like which difficulty algorithm your going to use to try and thwart the raiders, or at least make healing after them go smoother. Are you going to have a support website? How about a support forum? Where are you going to announce? Can you get all the various QT wallets built? Do you know any pool operators? Will you be setting up a twitter account? Are you comfortable with using github? How many coins, it any will you pre-mine? If you don't pre-mine are you willing to lose control of your coin? How often will you add checkpoint records? Which coin are you cloning from and why? Do you understand the math behind it all and why you don't want a 10 second block time? etc.
People can not hand hold you through all of that. Plan on spending a LOT of time on Google and not just looking at page one results. If your not comfortable with that, take the original response to heart. Doing the name change is the easy part. (Mind you, I still find old references occasionally after a good dozen grep scans, like when a friend tried building the Mac QT wallet for me.)

I am sorry, but if you dont know the answer to this question, you should not be even thinking of creating a new coin. The way I understand it, Bitcoin creats an address by generating a random number which corresponds to a single ECDSA public key / private key pair. The public key is determined into a bitcoin address through some hashing and then encoding. So there are many ECDSA pairs are saved in each wallet, one for each address.

There is an error in the source of the miner at the end of the OP in that it doesn't correctly adjust the difficulty target search (it searches for only 4 zeroes at the big end instead of what nBits specifies, though this is the same as the minimum difficulty). I have fixed this, and it is precise to the bit. Possibly I could have made my job easier by converting the difficulty to big.Int and also the hash but the way I have written it correctly checks - I suspect that it would be equal or greater overhead to have to use the bytes to big.Int converter anyway.
https://github.com/calibrae-project/spawn/blob/e00ddd6ca93e1f96f69b75fd3b8536d98b45deb8/tools/genesis/create/creategenesis.go (https://github.com/calibrae-project/spawn/blob/e00ddd6ca93e1f96f69b75fd3b8536d98b45deb8/tools/genesis/create/creategenesis.go) It does take quite a long time to compute the hash. On my i5-7600 running on one core it takes between 30 and 60 minutes. Of course the solver I have written isn't going to win any awards but a CPU is not the right device to compute hashes on anyway as a sole task. I guess it might be a good opportunity for me to learn about how to write goroutines and split the task amongst all the cores of the cpu by dividing the nonce-space and on my machine that would drop the time to find the right nonce by a quarter. After thinking about it and reading about goroutines I figured out that parallelising such a search was very simple and as my routine grabs the current time at the end of the nonce number space and I have set them to start one second apart, this should dramatically improve the time it takes for my genesis generator to finish. Especially if you are running this on a machine with 8 or more cores. Here is the updated version with parallel execution of the search: https://github.com/calibrae-project/spawn/blob/94977557fcf0ae653e5c1a0c831a42ff0240b905/tools/genesis/create/creategenesis.go (https://github.com/calibrae-project/spawn/blob/94977557fcf0ae653e5c1a0c831a42ff0240b905/tools/genesis/create/creategenesis.go) UPDATE: I still had some things wrong and decided to set it to default to generating a random public key if no input was given. This now correctly targets the difficulty, the solutions generally have 3 bytes zero at the big end. https://github.com/calibrae-project/spawn/blob/f682a9d7aa43a764682dec77cd6a50a0c6049537/tools/genesis/create/creategenesis.go (https://github.com/calibrae-project/spawn/blob/f682a9d7aa43a764682dec77cd6a50a0c6049537/tools/genesis/create/creategenesis.go) It pops out the solution so fast it's almost pointless that it fans out use all your CPU threads to perform the search.

I have made small changes to improve it, see https://github.com/liveblockchain/genesisgen (https://github.com/liveblockchain/genesisgen) 1. Gets invalid result when the timestamp string is longer than 76 bytes, as it has to use `OP_PUSHDATA1(0x4c)` as prefix of the data. Code: if (timestamp_len > 76) { 2. Add command line arguments for nonce and unixtime for quick poc test.

I am using the below code to generate genesis block. I got the Coinbase, PubkeyScript, Merkle Hash, Byteswapped. However, it is stuck at Generating block... . The Hashes/s and Nonce keep changing. I thought it will just take a few mins to generate the first block. But, generally, how much time does it take to generate the first block? Am I missing something? Should I have changed something in code to generate the first block faster? Waiting for your reply. Regards, Harish Thanks, it works great for me.

Also demonstrates changing the hashing algorithm for genesis block creation and the block reward. https://github.com/bitcoinforktech/genesis-block-generator Title: Re: [ANN] Genesis Block Generator Post by: Tokenista on October 23, 2020, 06:24:36 AM Glad to see things like this still happening.
I originally learned from LernCoin Title: Re: [ANN] Genesis Block Generator Post by: gcrypto on April 29, 2021, 05:29:24 PM Should this work for pivx clone?
Have tried to use it for a pivx clone that has been running for about 3 years now. Expected that the actual genesis hash of the running chain would be the output after I've input all the required fields, but instead it outputs a different genesis block hash, as well as a different merkle, to what is in the chain/code.
