[ANN] 'foo' and 'bar' coins--a "how-to" guide for cut+paste cryptocurrency

[Boxman90]

Yeah even though it 's working again, I'm still pretty interested in how one can become the seed node..

[shakezula]

As I was thinking about it, the only way to do it is to be one of the initial two nodes (as per the tutorial) or you'd have to have a downloadable version of the blockchain you could add to your wallet after compilation. Turning on my VPS with which was one of the original nodes in the step by step allows the block chain to get out and about.

Once there's active mining, the original node can be turned off--the "seednode" can then be any node with a full copy of the chain. To change it to be the place the client looks initially would require it being changed in the code and then recompiled. The barcoin source has no hard-coded seed node, just the initial VPS node that is added manually via addnode= or -connect=.

And how do we figure out what port a given coin uses? Where in the code can we find that?

[shakezula]

Its in the tutorial, IIRC its 55883 for RPC.

[Boxman90]

I found out through netlimiter, 55884 for outbound traffic.

Since Shakezula constantly sits in freicoin and was paid by devoin developer to post this howto perhaps he can, giving his familiarity with this two coins, help newbies to clone them non stop which is what he might seek to accomplish?

First off, I haven't been in the FRC room in about 3 weeks, I no longer support those guys and that's OK.

As for getting paid, I'm only earning the normal Devtome 1 share per 1K words and there was NO prior arrangement for me to create this guide.

I did this for EVERYONE to make their own coins, something YOU really wanted to do a few weeks back. Here's your chance for EstoniaCoin

And now for a proper Barcoin graphic: V1, V2

*rolls around on the floor*

Edit: Oh yeah, and you should add a Doubloon donation address to your signature man. Also a Barcoin one now.

I've noticed that you just get angry everytime you miss out on something. Stop being a rude prick, just let them do what they want to do

[maxpower]

shakezula, this is great stuff. Congrats.

[barwizi]

Thank yu for the wonderful guide, but i need to do something very specific, i'd like to change the algo in use. I'd like to know how to put a totally different algo. your assistance would be greatly appreciated. This coin will be for testing only to see if the algo works as planned maybe i'l release it to the public.

[walf_man]
