Title: How to launch a test Bitcoin network from 0 genesis block? Post by: walerikus on June 12, 2020, 11:06:18 AM I have downloaded Bitcoin v1.0 but I guess it doesn't launch because it tries to connect to existing network but the version is incompatible. What modifications are required to launch it from zero block?
Is there any threads that can help explaining how to do it? I'm interested only in Bitcoin like blockchain testnet, proof of work without any premine, etc. Title: Re: How to launch a test Bitcoin network from 0 genesis block? Post by: nc50lc on June 12, 2020, 12:17:39 PM Use --regtest? Although I'm not sure if Bitcoin v1.0 have regtest mode.
Try to launch bitcoin with --regtest argument or create a shortcut and add --regtest at the end of "target". Title: Re: How to launch a test Bitcoin network from 0 genesis block?

I have tested Bitcoin v0.1.0 and Bitcoin v0.1.3 both version launched with no problem you can still generate bitcoin address but it doesn't connect to network or download any blockchain files. It is compatible with Windows 10, 8.1, 7 and XP. I am not sure about MacOS. I have attached screen shot. https://i.ibb.co/SB8NTqt/Untitled.jpg Download source: https://satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org/code/ (https://satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org/code/) Quote What modifications are required to launch it from zero block?Is there any threads that can help explaining how to do it?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENaTmbh8Xuw It's actually #2 in a series of 6. I think in this one he discusses what you need to do to generate the genesis block. Might be in a later one, but they are all short videos that you can watch to see if you missed anything. -Dave Title: Re: How to launch a test Bitcoin network from 0 genesis block?

I *think* (it's been a while) that you have to do an addnode = private IP of the other node in the conf file. But, since it's 10 year old code that I have not looked at in 7+ years I can't be sure. I don't even have my config notes from that era so I can't be much help but I'll try. -Dave Title: Re: How to launch a test Bitcoin network from 0 genesis block?
