Sooo... This appears in MainNetParams.java:
private static Block createGenesis(NetworkParameters n) {
Block genesisBlock = new Block(n);
Transaction t = new Transaction(n);
try {
// A script containing the difficulty bits and the following message:
//
// "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks"
byte[] bytes = Hex.decode
("04b217bb4e022309");
t.addInput(new TransactionInput(n, t, bytes));
ByteArrayOutputStream scriptPubKeyBytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
Script.writeBytes(scriptPubKeyBytes, Hex.decode
("41044870341873accab7600d65e204bb4ae47c43d20c562ebfbf70cbcb188da98dec8b5ccf0526c8e4d954c6b47b898cc30adf1ff77c2e518ddc9785b87ccb90b8cdac"));
scriptPubKeyBytes.write(ScriptOpCodes.OP_CHECKSIG);
t.addOutput(new TransactionOutput(n, t, Utils.toNanoCoins(50, 0), scriptPubKeyBytes.toByteArray()));
} catch (Exception e) {
// Cannot happen.
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
genesisBlock.addTransaction(t);
return genesisBlock;
}There are two hex-encoded values here, 41044870341873accab7600d65e204bb4ae47c43d20c562ebfbf70cbcb188da98dec8b5ccf0526c
8e4d954c6b47b898cc30adf1ff77c2e518ddc9785b87ccb90b8cdac, and 04b217bb4e022309.
The first one returns the pszTimestamp when decoded, and the second one returns a set of numbers.
So my question is:
How do I generate these Hex-values? (They are in non-standard format BTW)
Also, is it OK to just replace it with a string?
