Title: Ethereum also can be cloned?
Post by: wsxdrfv on March 21, 2018, 05:08:58 AM
Sorry for other coin.

But where can I post about development/programming questions of other coin?


Cloning ethereum is also possible?

With all its platform features like, possibility of put token above ethereum, smart contract above it, and what features have?

All of that can be copied and anyone can launch new coin?

In "Altcoin Discussion", I guess.

Yes, it is possible to create a new coin using ethereum, and it is way easier than Bitcoin. You just need a genesis configuration file that will define your new coins parameters, and just launch the ethereum daemon. There are a few pages about this on the internet:

  * How To: Create Your Own Private Ethereum Blockchain (https://medium.com/mercuryprotocol/how-to-create-your-own-private-ethereum-blockchain-dad6af82fc9f)
  * Here’s how I built a private blockchain network, and you can too (https://hackernoon.com/heres-how-i-built-a-private-blockchain-network-and-you-can-too-62ca7db556c0)
  * Create your own Ethereum private network (https://gist.github.com/0mkara/b953cc2585b18ee098cd)

Once launched, you can use this chain like you would use ethereum. I use a private chain to write smart contracts.

Probably in the altcoin sections (though those are a pool of endless trash and you'll end up with a trillion replies of how the project will save the world and investors need to invest)

Yes, it has been done before as well. You can fork ETH into your own coin.

Yup, all of that is possible

You can do all that but if you're just forking vanilla ETH and making no changes only an absolute idiot would switch over from ETH to your platform

All opensource projects can be cloned.
Ethereum (ETH) has been cloned and is called Ethereum Classic (ETC).
The ETC chain is actually the original Ethereum chain, since the Ethereum chain has been rolled back since the DAO attack.

It's actually the other way around: ETC IS the original chain, but ETH wasn't cloned; it was a UTXO fork of ETC.

Then, what is ethereum's weak point? What are need to be upgraded?

In crypto right to say FORKED, not cloned

Ethereum forked itself from original chain to a different chain while the original chain continued itself as Ethereum classic (ETC). Ethereum again had been forked several times, one of the popular and controversial being EtherZero and a less popular one Ethereum Fog.

Duh... Ethereum is open source ( https://github.com/ethereum) and publicly accessible. Everything that makes up Ethereum is open source meaning any one can copy/modify and launch his own platform.

Then, what is ethereum's weak point? What are need to be upgraded?

Why does this feel as if both accounts are same person?
