SolidCoin

[trainhappy]

I have decided to fork SolidCoin, I'll be getting a new site up for it, and updating the code. If any one would like to work on the fork the github page is https://github.com/XAOS-Interactive/solidcoin

Wow, the code from SolidCoin is buggy. Looking through, some of it may be worth trashing all together. On the otherhand  I'm working on a bitcoin fork called DigiCoin which will have a limit of 35 million, https://github.com/XAOS-Interactive/digicoin

You assessment is very right. Solid coin never caught on for many reasons. There are better places to start if you want to develop a new cryptocoin. Far better places.

Yep, I'll just fork bitcoin, what do you think of the name DigiCoin (DRC)?

It's ok. Just make sure the your chain can't cross talk with Bitcoin's.

What would be really useful to a whole bunch of altcoins would be if the very first thing you do to a fresh new recent copy of bitcoin is apply the merged mining patches.

Just plain bitcoin with those patches successfully applied is a stem cell type of thing, the first step every merged mined coin needs, thus a step that makes little sense for each to have to do separately.

Once you get those patches applied to the latest bitcoin, all the merged mined coins can clone it and start changing into their latest new version, which should cause there to be plenty of folk who are at the perfect time to help you identify what you need to do to your copy to make it into your new type of (merged mine able) coin!

They can walk you through the steps as they do them to theirs, and all doing it at the same time they can all serve as reminders to each other of exactly what all the little details are that one needs to change to turn bitcoin into an altcoin.

Up for it?

The most recent version of merged mining patches I have is online at

This is a great starting point. Just with merged mining enabled make sure you can get some decent and benevolent hash power on your chain as soon as it goes live.

What are the advantages of Digicoin?

What are the advantages of Digicoin?

I'm still looking into how I can make it diffrent, I'll update when I know. The code is intereasting, I never knew how much code went into bitcoin. If I can, I'm going to increase the number of coins from 21 million to 35 million, and increase the difficulty to make it more secure.

FYI, guys that's a really old copy of Solidcoin.  Someone from this community, ahem, sent a Cease-and-Desist to github and further development was moved from github.  The code was still available from the Solidcoin wiki until a few months ago.

Solidcoin is kind of/sort of dead but that's because a new crypto-currency is being written, from scratch, with new ideas and isn't based off of Bitcoin at all.  The new currency is called Microcash and will provide a system for converting Solidcoin's to Microcash Dollars.

The project was dormant for a really long time, but after spurring necessary discussions and, becoming a developer on the project, development has restarted.  I trust you all can google.  If you are interested in finding out more, just go to the Microcash forum and look around.

Yep, now thats a good idea.

I already pointed out it was buggy.  Any ways, DigiCoin will be released under the mit license all credit for the codebase goes to Bitcoin. Anyone know the maker of cgminer? Might contact the cgminer developer to see about intergrating it and making it user friendly. Thanks everyone for the wonderfull ideas, don't know if I'll implement them right a way, but I'll do my best to add them.
