Hi,

I have been exploring on alt coin development at code level and it is taking my time, efforts and resources but the result is comparatively less. I couldn't find sufficient resources which help me in creating a new alt coin. There are many things involved in creating a new alt coin, programming language, Network related stuff, Unix etc.

Contrast to this, now a days many alt coin projects are emerging into market. How could they achieve these skills so quickly and the number of developers seems pretty good in number too.

Are there any sources for acquiring these skills in any way? What is the best way to become skillful in coin creation?

Suggestions would greatly help me and other enthusiastic developers.

Thank you.

Hi,

I have been trying to find the tutorials, guides for forking bitcoin core or any other alt coins but I'm not able to do it successfully.
I know java, basics of Unix but not C++. I know bitcoin is available with different flavors (technically like bitcoin with java, with c++ etc.).
Could you please help me in starting a full coin development which actually having wallet, working model of coin, mining etc. This is for educational purpose. I want to study about the coin creation.

once I could able to see my own coin I can dig the same in code level.
For creating my own coin, initially  I'm struggling with environment set up.

What are the best sources for creating/forking a coin? How can I accomplish this, I'm looking forward very eagerly for this.

Thank you.

                            Struggling with error while executing /configure command, Please help !!
Hi, I'm a newbie to Unix and blockchain technology, trying to implement a private blockchain with bitcoin core code. Here I'm implementing it with regression test mode.

For this, I'm following the one article(https://samsclass.info/141/proj/pBitc1.htm):

Preparing Ubuntu
--------------------
To prepare your Ubuntu machine, execute these commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git build-essential -y
sudo apt-get install autoconf libboost-all-dev libssl-dev libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler libqt4-dev libqrencode-dev libtool -y
sudo apt-get install libdb5.1++-dev libevent-dev pkg-config -y

Installing Berkeley Database
-------------------------------

wget http://download.oracle.com/berkeley-db/db-4.8.30.NC.tar.gz

sha256sum db-4.8.30.NC.tar.gz

tar -xvf db-4.8.30.NC.tar.gz
cd db-4.8.30.NC/build_unix
mkdir -p build
BDB_PREFIX=$(pwd)/build
../dist/configure --disable-shared --enable-cxx --with-pic --prefix=$BDB_PREFIX
make install
cd ../..

Compiling Bitcoin Core from Source:
----------------------------------------

git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git

cd bitcoin

git tag

git checkout v0.12.1rc2

./autogen.sh

./configure --with-incompatible-bdb



when running the above command I got the error "configure:27383: error: libevent not found"

Here is the content of config.log:

root@BitcoinCore-LnD:~/bitcoin# more config.log | grep libevent
configure:27333: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "libevent"
Package libevent was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libevent.pc'
No package 'libevent' found
configure:27350: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "libevent"
Package libevent was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libevent.pc'
No package 'libevent' found
No package 'libevent' found
configure:27383: error: libevent not found.

I'm about to run the make command after ./configure --with-incompatible-bdb command but stuck with the error.

I tried make command and got the below error:
root@BitcoinCore-LnD:~/bitcoin# make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

Note:
I'm using VPS with 2GB RAM Memory, 40 GB Disk

Can someone please help in resolving it?
