Hello,

Questions about chainparams:

1- Currently is running the CDN Seed in bitcoin ?
2- https://github.com/TheBlueMatt/dnsseed-bitcoinj/ -> Communication is by socket and generates a database file? There are other alternatives?
3- I do not understand what is vAlertPubKey -> https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/chainparams.cpp#L110
4- I do not understand what is nSubsidyHalvingInterval -> https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/chainparams.cpp#L114
5- bnProofOfWorkLimit refers to the difficulty? we can estimate the difficulty of the coming years based on this number.?

I have doubts about this:

6- Build the genesis block -> https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/chainparams.cpp#L116
7- Convert the pnSeeds array into usable address objects. -> https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/chainparams.cpp#L154

When I understand this, I will incorporate several concepts about the operation of bitcoin.

I'd like to do a project, to experiment with an alternative currency, with my own settings and genesis block.

Thank you,

Hello, I would like to know. What is a Seed Nodes / DNS Seed ?

Used as alternate boot method ? someone can better explain.

Seed Nodes:
    - Nodes whose IP addresses are included in the Bitcoin client for use during a new installation when the normal bootstrapping process through IRC wasn't possible.

I try to understand this project: https://github.com/TheBlueMatt/dnsseed

I see used here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/chainparams.cpp#L144

I try to understand this file (chainparams.cpp), I want to try to create a coin in a test environment, to understand the bitcoin system.

I appreciate any help.

Thanks!
