1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: *** Complete Guide on How to Create a New Alt Coin – Update 2019 *** on: April 19, 2021, 05:10:11 PM
Take a look at this coin just launched.

https://github.com/kanchiworld/kanchan

It is fairly new, and they are giving away free coins to early adopters. It may be a good idea to get in early.


What is this coin? Is there a purpose to it? Any details of mining etc?

You're correct.
Setgenerate has been removed a while ago. I'm late to the party.

I will need to figure out a way to mine these before spending big $$.

Thank you for responding so quickly.

You cannot mine like this. You need to use a stratum pool.
Solo mining has been disabled for a long time (unless they added it back? but I am doubtful)

You need to setup a mining pool, and it is quite a complicated process.
A good start is here: https://github.com/tpruvot/yiimp
Take a cheap dedicated server here for example: https://www.hetzner.com/sb
Use an install script like this: https://github.com/xavatar/yiimp_install_scrypt

Do not let anyone install it for you, services will generally have some sort of spyware, and will mine partially for them, so it is not worth.

Interesting..I thought if the blockchain is brand new and difficulty is very low, you should be able to mine it locally before setting up servers and pools etc.
Thanks for the info though.

Thank you.
I've reset all heights to 0 (previously I had them at 1) and returning true from the "if" condition below.

I was able to start the xxxcoind.exe and it used the default %APPDATA% folder.

When I tried to start the wallet ( xxx-qt.exe or xxx-cli.exe), it complained about unable to lock the data directory.

Is this by design, that you cannot start daemon and wallet on the same node?
I ended up changing the data directory for wallet to somewhere else like "C:\data". I'm guessing this will duplicate the entire chain?

Then stopped the wallet and running this command in a loop to mine few blocks. Not sure how long this will take on a CPU or where I can check if the transactions are being processed (since I cannot open qt-exe while CLI.exe has locked the wallet)

Code:
cli-exe -generate 1

Thank you for the great guide. I've followed the instructions to make changes and able to build the code on Windows. But I'm unable to start the wallet or the coin daemon server.
It fails in this code, in tx_check.cpp.

Code:
 if (tx.IsCoinBase())
    {
        if (tx.vin[0].scriptSig.size() < 2 || tx.vin[0].scriptSig.size() > 100)
            return state.Invalid(TxValidationResult::TX_CONSENSUS, "bad-cb-length");
    }

I see that in Chainparams.cpp, there are new variables being set in the latest core code, for example
Code:
consensus.SegwitHeight = 481824;
I've set this to 1 but still no use.

Any pointers? I would like to create a brand new blockchain from start using bitcoin core code for experimental purposes.

Thanks in advance

I would comment the
Code:
return state.Invalid(TxValidationResult::TX_CONSENSUS, "bad-cb-length");
and do consensus.SegwitHeight = 0;

You are starting a new blockchain so you need all the BIPs starting at zero.
If you have a validation error, temporary comment the error, so that the first block (genesis) can be written into the blockchain.
The first block is always a problem, because the authors of Bitcoin Core are not helping the altcoin developers with their validation tests that are specific to Bitcoin.

Anyone still holding this coin?

Was soldout in seconds during ICO and price now is half the ICO price  Huh Sad

First timer here

If no EZTokens are allotted in ICO, are you going to return the BTC to investor?
