I deployed with the same archive on a couple of machines without problem. Can you confirm it's the same md5 sum?

slb,

how do you feel, is it possible to switch MCN [Moneta Verde] to forknote?

[sirandrei]

slb,
What is the difference between your coin and cryptonote from here https://cryptonotestarter.org/inner.html ?

Adding merged mining to Forknote is a priority. Moneta Verde should run fine if we support merged mining

You don't need to compile to create a network. You don't need to wonder how you will integrate security fixes, as long as they are fixed in Bytecoin/Forknote.
Still nobody does this, but you can actually create on-demand blockchains fast and easy. Linking them will open a lot of possibilities.


PS: We are experiencing some issues with v2.0.6. Use the prior version (v2.0.4) if you are experiencing some odd problems.

So basically once you release the updated Forknote based on the latest Bytecoin release, all Forknote currencies are already updated, right?
The idea is quite nice from technology point of view. However, it is a central point-of-failure for a number of decentralized currencies (existing and potential). What happens if one day you decide to abandon this idea and stop updating Forknote?

It's an open source project, anyone is welcome to contribute or fork. I guess if multiple currencies have $20mil combined marketcap (we have ~$2mil now) they will find a way to pay someone to merge the latest bytecoin or monero version. The more disturbing issue is the hashrate required, but i think we will be able to overcome this with merged mining (and POS eventually).

Thanks for your previous and acurate answer. I have just created a testing coin. I guess I am at the last step - sync with network.
When running ./forknoted --config-file configs/my.conf i get this:

Sync data returned unknown top block: 227650 -> 1294061 [1066411 blocks (1481 days) behind]

Why the sync is so behind for a new coin? Is there a faster way to sync?

You need to add your own nodes

[sirandrei]

slb thanks. I am willing to create a help (and youtube video tutorial) but first I have to figure out for myself
So please, tell me:
1. Is mandatory to have 2 seeding nodes? If YES, the config file should contain both seeding nodes IPs?
2. Genesis coinbase transaction hex. When creating config file using the form from your website, I see that a genesis hex is generated. If I later run ./forknoted --config-file configs/imaginary_blockchain.conf --print-genesis-tx, a new genesis hex will be generated. Should I replace it in the config file? Or can I leave the genesis hex genereted before (by your website form) ?

I wrote a small tutorial file with I belive is nedeed to create own coin. The tutorial is here https://pastebin.com/TRsDzy2u

I am not sure if it is correct. Thanks!

It seams correct.
You need 2 nodes and both of them in the config file
If you do not change parameters or premined address there is no need to change the genesis tx hex

[sirandrei]

I think I managed to create it.
I have 2 seeding nodes.
I run ./forknoted --config-file configs/one.conf on both of them
This is the config file which is on both of the nodes

This is the result

Is it Ok so far?
I created a wallet file

What is next? How do I start mining? I used this command but nothing is happen

Is it possible to run two different Forknote coins on the same VPS?

If so, how do you recommend doing it?

Thanks!

You can run as many as you like. You just must have different p2p and rpc ports on all configs

[eeX]

non problems at all.
just use different folders to keep different coins separated and use .bat file and settings file parameters to use one of them - like below:

--config-file C:\BIN\BIT\QCN\qcn.ini --data-dir B:\BLOCKS\QCN --log-file B:\BLOCKS\qcnd.log

and/or

log-file=B:\BLOCKS\qcnd.log

How to get the first Genesis block reward?
I have configured (Percentage of premined coins) 10% but when mining it was unsuccessful.
I have tried many times and failed, please help me.
