Problems creating alt-coin

[Jheguy2]

I am attempting to clone the cryptocurrency 'Clams' which originates from Novacoin for a project of mine. So far, all of my changes have gone swimmingly but I am having lots of trouble generating a merkle root. I've spent about three days trying to get it working but so far to no avail. All resources I've used for learning about altcoin creation all refer to places in main.cpp which are all in chainparams.cpp for my coin. Any help would be greatly appreciated, this has been driving me crazy.

The daemon compiles but outputs this:

Code:

chainparams.cpp:82: CMainParams::CMainParams(): Assertion `genesis.hashMerkleRoot == uint256("0x6d77573899a18d6030900bfe2c77e2157728ce5cda5345c03138775694286d66")' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

no matter what I change. However if I comment out that and all of the genesis block hash assertion code the daemon compiles and closes saying something about not having a full blockchain.
