1  Other / Beginners & Help / How to enable mining coins on coind? on: February 16, 2018, 05:18:36 AM
Hello everyone!

I have forked a PoS and PoW coin and created a altcoin (I'm creating this for learning purposes). After changing the genesis block/merkleroot/time stamps and compiling, it is now working successfully. However, there are zero blocks obviously due to no miners.

Ok now I'm a little confused. I want to get the block chain moving using coind to mine, I do not want to use the GUI wallet.

It seems like the setgenerate command was removed awhile ago, so I'm not really sure how I can mine my coin now with coind. I have tried gen=1 in my coin.conf, though still zero blocks.

Also, if I am correct, there must be at least two nodes running before mining can start, and I should add them with in my config file like:

addnode=(IP of another node), right?

Can someone please fill me in on mining with coind // your own altcoin? Thank you.

Hi everyone.

I want to create a test altcoin for fun. I already know how to clone coins like bitcoin and litecoin, etc. However, I can't seem to successfully create a genesis block for proof of stake type altcoins.

Anyways, I'm look for someone who can.

I'm looking for someone who can do the following...

  • git clone a github altcoin repo
  • change the altcoins name
  • remove it's genesisblock references // set up new blockchain for it
  • compile mac, windows, and linux wallet.

It should take less than an hour (most of the time will probably be compiling), and I will pay $100 (whatever the exchange rate is) dollars worth of BTC to your bitcoin address.

Do you have the skills? Are you interested? Please DM me so we can talk and I'll provide some specifications info and source code. Thank you.
