Title: How hard is it to make a bitcoin clone (or nearly a clone) Post by: coinbridge on January 21, 2014, 09:47:27 PM I'm just trying to get an idea about the coding effort, e.g. for a skilled c++ programmer how long would it take him to code a bitcoin clone with minor parameter changes. What about changing a hash function?

if you don't know about how to create then batter you leave this or contact with some dev who can create for you Title: Re: How hard is it to make a bitcoin clone (or nearly a clone) Post by: h3rlihy on January 23, 2014, 05:08:27 PM Don't we already have enough clones? :P

For instance there is a "network" id that for Bitcoin is 0, simply changing that to something else would do the trick.
I think even changing the hash function would be somewhat simple as a crypto library is likely used - just call another function. This is why I think there are so many worthless alts, they call a different hash function in a library someone else made and call it a miracle.

This is the best description of ALT coins I've read so far... :) |
