Title: How to you create a altcoin? Post by: Steven x869 on September 10, 2015, 08:43:21 AM Hello, All
I have downloaded the bitcoin source files: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin. How do you create a altcoin? I want to create an exact replica of Bitcoin, except from changing the name and logo of the coin. I am creating a new project for fun. I am "NOT" trying to create a altcoin for the sole purpose of gaining profit. (Keeping the block-time, difficulty re-targeting time, initial coins per block, coin halving configuration etc, exactly the same settings.) Change: BitCoin [to] ExampleCoin & BTC [to] EEC Change: BitCoin image [to] ExampleCoin image Thanks Title: Re: How to you create a altcoin?

Title: Re: How to you create a altcoin? Post by: volker1 on September 10, 2015, 11:35:04 AM There are people in the services sub forum offering to do this for a small amount if you dont mind paying something like 0.1/0.2

Title: Re: How to you create a altcoin? Post by: jazlos on September 10, 2015, 11:56:24 AM I know you claim its a fun project but no doubt in my mind we'll be seeing you releasing a coin either under this name or another in a few weeks if you learn how to do it

Hundreds of people have done it. Title: Re: How to you create a altcoin? Post by: tyz on September 10, 2015, 12:10:27 PM There are a couple of tutorials for creating an altcoin. Here is an extensive one: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=225690.0
Also use Google. There are services which create a altcoin for you that is ready to use. Title: Re: How to you create a altcoin? Post by: Steven x869 on September 11, 2015, 01:57:54 PM Bump here

What's wrong with that? Money makes the world go round. Would you rather sleep under a bridge and perform free service for people all day long?Title: Re: How to you create a altcoin?

Change: BitCoin [to] ExampleCoin & BTC [to] EEC Change: BitCoin image [to] ExampleCoin image Thanks To give you an idea of the scale of the task, here's two of about 20 patches to rebrand Bitcoin to Dogecoin: https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin/commit/81e0c8ca74c05225629646de3af5236ebd6f0154 https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin/commit/c11cf63209ab6cedafd61837bd904126c7c2cddc It's a fiddly task because you want to modify only values within strings, without modifying the build setup accidentally (which is what happens if you start naively replacing "Bitcoin" with "ExampleCoin"), and must keep all of the translations in sync with your changes.

^ That's how to do it the easy way Title: Re: How to you create a altcoin? Post by: rikkejohn on September 12, 2015, 01:51:09 AM modify btc 8.6, I would avoid anything later given your lack of knowledge.
Title: Re: How to you create a altcoin? Post by: Dogecoin on September 12, 2015, 07:10:58 AM modify btc 8.6, I would avoid anything later given your lack of knowledge. Given there's the rather nasty CVE-2015-3641 (https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2015-3641) in pre-0.10 (details aren't released, but see https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2015-June/009135.html ), no-one should be using anything less than 0.10 for new coins. Title: Re: How to you create a altcoin? Post by: tonycamp on September 12, 2015, 07:15:19 AM you can create a x11 sha 256 or scrypt or x15 or even scrypt n mining ones but you see the thecs
Title: Re: How to you create a altcoin? Post by: favdesu on September 12, 2015, 10:08:32 AM easiest way to create an altcoin is through NXT. you can build any coin (PoW/PoS) on the NXT Blockchain and maintain it very easily :)
Title: Re: How to you create a altcoin? Post by: DickSwagger on September 12, 2015, 11:44:54 AM Here on Btc talk there are some very good tutorials posted. Best one i have seen here was by a user muddafudda. I am sure u can find it

Is that right. The first link passes you onto the National Vulnerability Database, who find no record of the number. I am sure you're right, what in layman's terms is it? I have taken two bitcoin clones (9x) past the 1 million block point. But anyway, the point is if he wants to learn putting him n BTC 10x is hard work. The early manuals were written for 8.6 (I/m certain). They give a good starting point. They sadly make a few mistakes, but it is a good starting point. In itself 8.6 is too outdated, it does not even have a getnetworkhashps call. I have an even better one than spots has if you are talking scrypt. The link is on my other computer. But you fill the values in and a source is spat out (it looked okay to me, and it compiled). I have no need of litecoin clone so went no further. I will find the link and post it. The site could be gone, though. Title: Re: How to you create a altcoin?
