Title: How to make an altcoin that's easy to mine?
Post by: meridianstroll2014 on March 09, 2015, 03:39:59 PM
Hi, I'm new here, so if this is not in the right board, I apologize to the admin.

I've been mining Bitcoin for a while, and I noticed that, in order to mine, sometimes you need to buy this geeky, bulky and expensive hardware, in order to have great profitability. So, to make the lives of the people who don't have the money for the gear easier, I decided to make a fork of Litecoin that wouldn't need so much GHz/h to mine. But, since I am really new to this, I don't know how make the mining process easier. Can someone explain what do I have to do, and if it has to do with the mining difficulty? What pieces of code should I edit after I make the fork? I thank you in advance.

;D (as long as you keep your coin private, the hashrate won't be too high)
however if you make a litecoin fork, you won't be able to use your geeky expensive hardware you used to mine bitcoin

ps: hope you won't make your coin public...

Just make the block reward super low -> no one will mine the coin -> easy to mine -> Problem solved

If you need to ask this here then please just don't do another shitcoin fork.
