Even in the event that an attacker gains more than 50% of the network's
computational power, only transactions sent by the attacker could be
reversed or double-spent. The network would not be destroyed.

Nice... Thanks for putting all of this in one place.. Sure! Just hoping we can get some more of it in here. Everyone hordes this stuff which makes it such a headache for everyone who wants to learn. I guess people want to keep the competitive edge in development, but I think it just results in poorly cloned coins when nobody can find updated resources to learn from. Agreed! All of us with great ideas for new alts and experiments are stuck on the sidelines.. . I'm a coding noob though and still learning the basics of PHP and C but have awesome ideas for a new alt.. Back to codeacademy for me..  |

I concur with the others, kinda nice to have all those links together in one place. It makes for good reading, even if a bit dated. No harm in building a clone for testing purposes that you wouldn't try on other chains.

This is awesome! I'm definitely going to check this out. I want to learn how, not to flood the market with more crap, but for fun and to be able to look back in 20 years say I knew how to do that. Thanks for posting these.

Why do you support to create more of those copy and mostly scam coins? IMHO, they hurt all serious crypto currencies and lead newbies into bad investments.

God knows no one wants anymore scammy ICO coins. Perhaps by learning some fundamentals however, there may be some people that go on to develop new things for established coins. |

Why did the OP delete the post?
I think the more of us that know the basics of coin code, the less scams there will be as more of us will be able to review code before blindly investing on the "faith" of a dev.

Well, because nothing ever posted online really disappears, here is a quote of the deleted post, as captured by a script when someone followed a link from it to my "how to make an altcoin" blog post on my server. While we're at it, I've got a couple more articles up at this point which people making altcoins could be interested in. Altcoins cannot use the same difficulty adjustment algorithm as bitcoin. Miners being responsive to profits and difficulty make a positive feedback loop which quickly goes nonlinear and crashes the block chain if you try. So I did an update article, where I posted code to replace the difficulty adjustment with MIDAS. MIDAS (multi interval difficulty adjustment system) as far as I'm concerned actually delivers on what KGW promised and failed to do. http://dillingers.com/blog/2015/04/21/altcoin-difficulty-adjustment-with-midasAnd here's a post about how to add a premine (and fix it so you can SPEND it!) http://dillingers.com/blog/2015/04/23/adding-a-premine-to-an-altcoin/What I want to know is how he thought my guide was dated?! The version of bitcoin source code I was using is still the current version!

Deleted it because I wanted to redo it in more of a guide to blockchain development over guides on how to copy paste a coin. But I've realized I don't have the time to do that and it's the same info anyway so I'm just going to restore it with a different title I think. |

Ok, done. I'm currently looking for info on compiling the windows qt if anyone has it. Preferably using the linux box.

As far as I'm concerned, the more people are familiar with this codebase, the more robust technology that uses block chains becomes.
I've been thinking of weird applications of block chains. We think in terms of cryptocurrencies because bitcoin, but that's NOT by any means the only application within which we want a protocol for determining a consensus history.

I agree... I have tons of ideas utilizing blockchain tech, unfortunately this community has become so corrupted by con artists that those of us really keen on moving forward have to learn how to code first... And C++ is not exactly a language we can learn overnight.. |

My advice on learning C++ is, learn C first.
C is actually a sane language for doing crypto. C++ is insane, because of all the different ways code can look the same while having different semantics. But C will provide you with the basic syntax etc that you need to start to understand C++.
I would be considerably happier with the bitcoin source code if it were written entirely in C, and do occasionally spend time ripping C++ constructions out of code bases I maintain.

+1 not enough people realize all the amazing things that blockchain technology can do. Too many see it as a insta-scam or a tool to get-rich-quick. Digging deeper, one can see far more possibilities. |
