Title: working on new coin
Post by: dracolumina on October 31, 2014, 08:52:03 PM
So I had a coin that I had created for me, and well it was hosed. ::)  So i am doing it all myself.  Its going to be a scrypt coin, so I cloned litecoin and have been editing files and getting the settings changed.  Now I have found most of the settings but what I am having an issue with is getting the halving block number changed and the coin maturity changed. 

Can anyone help me with those ? IE point me to the file and line

Don't bother with cloning Litecoin now there's a new updated scrypt version of Bitcoin courtesy of Bitmark ready to clone for anyone who wants.

https://github.com/project-bitmark/pfennig

There's someone cloning it right now too that you can work with if you'd like. They are also writing a guide for people.

If you send me an email I can invite you to our slack group and you can get some help with it too.

Ok, I don't know why, but for some reason I created the coin, didn't do a merkle or a genesis hash, compiled it up so I could get those, fired it up and got no error and it worked.
