Title: What would happen if..? Post by: mistercoin on July 19, 2013, 02:22:01 AM Hey guys. Was wondering. What would happen if one were to remove the genesis block and checkpoints from sayyy, bitcoins source. Recompile it with a genesis block of another sha-256 or scrypt coin, and use it on their own systems? Would they start their own blockchain? Or if they were to go in and change values, then recompile and use. What would happen?

Yes, you can start your own private blockchain with whatever properties you want. You can have the difficulty at 0.01 with 1,000 coins per block. Title: Re: What would happen if..?

So if I copied its source, and changed proerties it would work? What about the genesis block. WOuldnt it just sync with the rest if the genesis block were the same? Title: Re: What would happen if..? Post by: ilovealtcoins on July 19, 2013, 02:53:36 AM I don't think that would work... If you kept all the other checkpoints the same it for sure wouldn't.
Because every block contains value from the last block your genesis block wouldn't be compatible with the rest of the chain. Title: Re: What would happen if..?

Im sick of studying scrypt and need a sha-256 i can work on between my 2 servers and test on :( Title: Re: What would happen if..?

I would suggest that you clone the Bitcoin source and read Shakezula's guide on creating a scrypt coin because a lot of the values are the same... One of the only different things is generating a Genesis block but there is a python script that can do that. You just input the merkle root you generated before. Title: Re: What would happen if..?

I never knew there was a script (not scrypt) for generating a gen block. You think you could link me up? I would really appreciate it. Edit: Nvm brother, found it. Ill give it a shot and let you know how it goes :) Title: Re: What would happen if..? Post by: cp1 on July 19, 2013, 03:01:02 AM You could always just use testnet.

I have been thinking about make a SHA coin myself. Well heres my progress so far: -Took "Bytecoin" erased all the merkle hashes and instances of the genesis block and epoch time. Left everything else the same including ports and name. -Tried deleting the checkpoints out of checkpoints.cpp but got errors when I try to compile. So I replaced the checkpoints to original, and now in the process of recompiling. Will post my results in a few. Edit: Just thought too, if this works, we could easily rename/relaunch bitcoins 1:1 copy as Bytecvoin never really got the love it should have. Title: Re: What would happen if..?

Try deleting all the checkpoints except the first and change that checkpoints hash to "0x" and leave it blank. keep up posted!!! Title: Re: What would happen if..?

Pm me bro :)
