Title: [HELP] What's the next step to create a new alt-coin? i found the genesisblock .
Post by: qufo on May 09, 2013, 04:00:39 PM
For my last bored weekend. I just create a new alt-coin for fun.

I download the latest  source code of litecoin and follow these step

1.changed line 2001 in src\main.cpp to
        const char* pszTimestamp = "NY Times 20130503, Just another funny weekend coin ";
2.follow the code,get MerkleRoot,nTime,nNonce,and Genesis Block.
   fill it in src\main.cpp, MerkleRoot(line 2027), nTime(line 2013,line 2019),nNoce(line 2015,line 2020),Genesis Block(line 32,line 1974)
3. I compiled the project, get litecoind (for command line tool). litecoin-qt ( for GUI).

4.i run litecoin-qt, and , I just find it says the last data is two days before.and have 34966(almost) block to get.

does i connect to litecoin's chain , not my funny chain?

what's the next step should i do for my fun coin?

thanks a lot.

sorry for my poor English.

Yes that was my problem as well. I could get everything you got as well. But I was never able to obtain the Genesis Block. There are Genesis Block creators etc. out there. But it's not working at all..

Imagine how many altcoins there would be if we had proper instructions on how to do it.  I'd think something like 5 new altcoins per day.

exactly, the way I think about altcoins now is to look at the developer(s). Are they active, responsive, or all about the pump and dump :p

+1

I've been updating some posts about this subject, but I'm starting to wonder if it's a good idea that everyone knows how to do it.. Understanding of what you do is much much much more important than just following a guide..

Why? The Feathercoin developers were active and responsive but they were still about the pump and dump 100%.
