Title: *** Complete Guide on How to Create a New Alt Coin – Update 2019 : genesis block Post by: sad_miner on January 15, 2020, 08:19:16 PM Hi, thank you for the great guide.
I'm learning a lot, although I'm getting stuck on genesis block creation. I changed the PoW to Keccak and added DGWv3 for retargeting, and it seems fine when I leave out the new PoW. As I understand it (or not?) the genesis block can start with any type of hash, then a new algo can kick in and build on that to generate new blocks. So I could I think generate a nice easy genesis block with good tools, then fire up the keccak miner and keep going. I could be mistaken here. I'm using nasa8x's Node genesis creation tool. Code: https://github.com/nasa8x/genesis-block Code: I have -z "A new keccak coin for 2020 16/Jan/2020" I run it: Code: james@instance-1:~/node-genesis-block$ node genesis.js -a keccak -t 1579064710 -z "A new keccak coin for 2020 16/Jan/2020" -b 0x1d00ffff -p "04678afdb0fe5548271967f1a67130b7105cd6a828e03909a67962e0ea1f61deb649f6bc3f4cef38c4f35504e51ec112de5c384df7ba0b8d578a4c702b6bf11d5f" Outputs: Code: james@instance-1:~/node-genesis-block$ node genesis.js -a keccak -t 1579064710 -z "A new keccak coin for 2020 16/Jan/2020" -b 0x1d00ffff -p "04678afdb0fe5548271967f1a67130b7105cd6a828e03909a67962e0ea1f61deb649f6bc3f4cef38c4f35504e51ec112de5c384df7ba0b8d578a4c702b6bf11d5f" But no luck, whatever I do assertions fail: Code: james@instance-1:~/bitcoin$ bitcoind -daemon A little puzzling at the moment, I thought these genesis block creations tools worked quite well. Or at least, they used to; I used the same author's Genesis H0 tool before using the Node script. Does anyone have any suggestions on what the problem might be? Thank you good sirs!

Difference being I have not changed the POW, but this issue seems unrelated. And I am using scrypt and forked dogecoin. I have been searching for days now and still can't find the solution to this, also there is no log file genrated.
