Thank you for your effort to help me guide to achieve the method.

One more question 🙋‍♂️ upon trying this I went to the GitHub I am no c++ specialist by any means I know a little bit of Linux and made my altcoin with Linux .. but I couldn’t find the cuckoo32 in any of the folders under cuckoo 😜

Is there something I am missing ?

When you mention the header file to be adjusted for the 42 cycle indices of size 42*32 bits = 168 bytes

You mean to add it in the bitcoin chainparams.cpp ? Is this the only place I add this line ?

Do I also add a #inlcude in the chainparams.cpp of any kind ?

Sorry my knowledge is not the same level as yours I respect your hard work as I am trying to understand it and achieve your method by following along and your guidance is very much appreciated.

I understand so far:

Download the GitHub folder Cuckatoo32 (which I can not find) and put it inside the source of bitcoin core or maybe in the crypto folder of bitcoin core ? Once added open chainparams.cpp of bitcoin core and add a new field for the 42 cycle indices of size 42*32 bits = 168 bytes? Is there a special place I can add this and do I find the code inside the cuckoo as help for me to add this line ? Sorry I am really not a specialist it took me 6 months with different online pieces to create the altcoin as it is today .. please feel free to share any little you can It would make a lot of sense for me as I am reading your message 10 times now and I am trying me hardest to understand but maybe this is just out of my league as much as I want to make it work.

Thank you for your reply and I hope to hear from you.

Dear Tromp,

I hope you are doing great. Sorry for reopening the old topic and I am also a bit off-topic.

This is a direct question to you sir. I tried to send you a private message but was unable to do so as a newbie.

Like many I was able to create a altcoin out of the bitcoin source code version 17.02 and was able to mine the coins at home with a virtual machine. I got more interested and started to search for a Asic resistant Algorithm.

I found your Grin YouTube interview and got even more interested on the Cuckatoo cycle you have developed.

My question is: there a way to implement the cuckatoo cycle in the SHA256 coin to make it more asic resistant ? If so there is a lot of C++ code I found on your GitHub but not a guide on how to maybe implement it ? Do you have one ? Can you maybe help me ? I am also from the Netherlands and don’t mind paying you for your time and effort.

Thank you 🙏

Thank you for the information. Yes I need to figure it out maybe a better miner. But It takes 100% longer then 10 minutes with CPU.

Thank you for the information. Yes the hash rate is low I agree.. Please correct me does it mean if a older version of bitcoin source code was used with cpu mining available the 10 min would have worked better ? To calculate with difficulty of 1 using a self made script could possibly be causing the limitation? I need to check this and try to get a miner . My laptop also has a build in GPU AMD Radeon (TM) Vega 6 Graphics but it is not being used much 1-2% but it is showing 61*C. I shut down the mining activity for a few days today I resumed and checked in total 850 coins in immature balance and on the main one 1850 coins. But it works. Thanks

Currently 71% in use mining on both virtualmachines with around +- 2.62 GHz.
I think it is possible to change to a lower difficulty but then I will have to kill the current blockchain and recreate a new one. But I don’t want to mine thousands of coins at one go. It wouldn’t make sense. But Thank you for the comment and thinking with me.

Hello all,

I am new to this forum. I would like to introduce myself as Frasz. English is not my native language but I will do my best.
Sorry if the topic is not in the correct path if so please move the topic to the correct one.

I wanted to make a altcoin from the bitcoin source code and was able to do so with all kinds of information on the internet.
I made a coin named bitmunt I know it sounds corny as it means bitcoin in my native language Dutch.

The coin itself did not show any errors after compiling and after lot of trial/error I was able to create a new blockchain with the source code.

Since it was for fun I didn't change much and left the 21 milion coins as the original Bitcoin.

I used version 17.0.2 of the bitcoin core source code from Github and made all the changes in linux 16.04 and migrated the source code to 18.04.

Today I hooked my virtual machine and created a clone (bridged) and did the basic changes in bitmunt.conf
Since I am using a 17.02 version of bitcoin core I was unable to mine with setgenerate. This seems to have been removed for some reason.

I tried setgenerate 1 but it stopped so I made a script called mine.sh and was able to mine on both instance in the virtual machine.
As of right now I have 2 blocks mined. The difficulty is set to 1.

I have a question: is it normal that it mines the blocks in 30 min instead of the 10 min it should be ? I set it as the original bitcoin not much was changed since it was just to test if I was able to recreate my own crypto Altcoin of the legendary Satoshi Nakamoto.

I am of course not able to post anything on here as a new member with pictures as much as I wished I could.

When I do a ./bitmunt-cli getmininginfo I see the following:
{

"blocks":2,
"currentblockweight": 4000,
"currentblocktx": 0,
"difficulty": 1,
"networkhashps": 567.2190108964646,
"pooledtx": 0,
"chain": "main",
"warnings": ""

}

Also I wonder since I made a script called mining.sh it shows me that it is mining with the following below until it finds a block.

]
[
]

]

This continious until it finds a block.

CPU is AMD and usage is around 70% and I have 30 gb ram on the laptop.
Is it normal for the coin to find a block every 30 minutes with a difficulty of 1?

Thank you for reading any feedback is appreciated.
