Title: Where is debug.log file generated in litecoin or bitcoin in ubuntu?
Post by: startlord on February 25, 2018, 11:46:54 PM
I am trying to create an altcoin by forking Litecoin.

I am following a very old thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=225690.0) and have made some necessary changes by my own.

I am at the step where genesis block is to be created by compiling the core and finding the original hash in debug file. But I can't find the file anywhere in ubuntu, not even in  "./altcoin" folder in home which is just empty. I also tried to find the hash by using :-

https://github.com/lhartikk/GenesisH0

but it doesn't help either.

Can anyone please tell me where the genesis block hash is generated?

Is the file name right or has it been changed recently and what is its location?
