Title: Bitcoin 0.6.2 Revive / new Chain
Post by: mckemo on April 24, 2024, 06:04:31 PM
Hello People.
I need somebody who can help me, building a new chain based on 0.6.2 with same settings and stuff. Like a reset on a private network.
Do you think it is possible? Same genesis-block. same settings (not the network settings since i will only run on one client and try to mine)..
do you think it is possible?

It's possible, after all there are few altcoin which created using Bitcoin Core (previously called "Bitcoin-Qt" and "Bitcoin") software. You probably should start by looking at guide which shows you to create altcoin by modifying Bitcoin Core source. And genesis block on Bitcoin is hard-coded, so there's no need to mine it.

Without additional details, i only could make generic assumption such as mining software you use isn't compatible with Bitcoin Qt 0.6.2. Besides, what exactly you're trying to achieve here? I think you fell into XY problem (https://xyproblem.info/).
