First off, hello to all!
Recently I had an idea for a new Altcoin. I know that there is no need for a thousand Bitcoin clones, but my idea is - well different. I have the following problems:
1. I need to have an integrated miner. This is why I chose Litecoin as a basis. But as I saw there is no more miner in the current source. Can I just use an old one maybe?
2. I need to change the hashing algorithm. To be precise hashing will be done externally. I thought of this the following way:
Litecoin: last_block_data + random_number ---> script algorithm ---> output
My Coin: last_block_data + random_number ---> usb to rs232 converter ---> my_device ---> back to pc via rs232 to usb converter ---> output
How difficult is that to accomplish? I have no experience in C++, because normally I program in C for microcontrollers.
Thank you all so much for your help
