How to Fork Bitcoin?

[supersoniccoinbomb]

Hello, I want to make hard fork for Bitcoin and changing it's supply, mining reward etc. And making explorer and wallet for my fork. I could not find anything about this except an useless video. How can I do that? How can I make my own totally changed and improved Bitcoin?

Bitcoin split in two in August when the digital currency officially forked creating Bitcoin Cash. Bitcoin gold was created when bitcoin forked again in October. And now the SegWit2x fork is looming. Meanwhile, bitcoin continues to hit new record highs.

He is asking on how to make his/her own Forked bitcoin. He/she is not asking what is a fork. Please read sir.

You need to have huge hashing power at first.

You don't need a huge hashing power, just remove the breakpoints and you will start at point zero. Just clone the Bitcoin Github source (like Litecoin, Dogecoin and so on did) and change the genesis block, change block time, total number of blocks and remove the checkpoints. If you have knowledge of c or c++ this is pretty easy. If you don't have any programming experience this might be too difficult.

The article mentioned is pretty complete.

Can I make it non-mineble? I mean I want to directly create all of coins. And I don't have any code language knowledge. :/

if you dont have coding experience, then your best option is to hire someone from fiver,upwork., look for those who have crypto experience.,

there used to a site, which could create a new coin as per your requirement, on the fly for small fee, e.g. 50 bucks. or so.

they even used to give you core app.,
i dont recall its name . google coin creator., or something like thatl.

I think it's walletbuilders.com but I don't want to make new altcoin, I want to make hard fork to Bitcoin.

If you don't have any knowledge about programming and if you don't understand many things and protocols about bitcoin I don't see how will you pull this off. Maybe you want hard fork so that other people "accept" and "like" your currency more having in mind that then others could keep their coins. But really if you don't understand this better is to find some people with more knowledge than this. Above all we don't need million hard forks from bitcoin, you will need reputable team and some person who can influence others.

Easiest way would be to create new currency/token and offer it as ICO since then you can easily (if done right, can be costly) grab yourself with money for your project so you can continue to develop it in the right light.


Maybe you can also do an easier thing which BTX aka Bitcore did rather than splitting the actual chain they took a snapshot of a particular block and offered other people the opportunity to transfer their coins 1 =1/2 (for instance if you had 100btc you would get 50btx) and you still can and always will be able to transfer coins if you had them with you in your balance with that snapshot. In my opinion this is also better and easier approach than simply to split the chain as a lot of hash power and support is needed for that.

Pathetic!

What kind of a person would start a thread titled "How to fork bitcoin?" and say "I don't have any coding knowledge". And here we are , replying to you. Things have truly gone down here..
Well, lets just give you the benefit of doubt. Do you care to elaborate what exactly you want to accomplish by this?

My guess is that either you are a teenager who maybe wants to impress your peers or you are one of those shameless scammers who think that they can start something with the name of bitcoin attached to it and then dupe the masses with it. That is truly and undoubtedly pathetic.

I hate scammers. And i suppose anyone who tries to earn a decent living and contribute something hates them too. Why in hell do people plan so elaborately to make a fool out of gullible people and take away their hard-earned money?? :-( I suppose these people don't have a conscience and a soul..

Anyways, I get how stupid this is but just want to know whats your side of the story??

How does the fork affect BTC price?

Are you really evaluating my personality to my thread title? And how do you think that I am gonna "make a fool out of gullible people and take away their hard-earned money"? I am not going to make any fucking ICO or fucking sell cryptocurrency. I JUST want to make hard fork to Bitcoin and yeah I DON'T HAVE ANY CODING KNOWLEDGE. Now if you're not helping me, mind your own fucking business please.

[Oceat]

I think the title shouldn't be like this instead it should be like "How to make my own coin" or "How to make an ICO" i'm sure OP doesn't even know how ICO was done. He should have ask first how to make an ICO, then he can ask that question later on.

Don't worry OP can't do that yet unless he has a knowledge of coding and have a lot of money to produce his own ICO then fork it, but the title shouldn't be like that it should be "How to Fork <coin_name>?".

I know how to make my own altcoin and ICO. You can go to here. I wan't hard fork to BITCOIN. Why isn't that clear?

[shensu]

It's good to start with some hashing power or a pool to get things off to a stable start.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are witnessing the mental process which actuated every hardfork to date!  Did you ever want to be a fly on the wall during the initial planning stages of Bitcoin XT, Bitcoin Unlimited, NYA, Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, Bitcoin Plutonium Diamond With Ponies?  Did you ever wonder why from a technical perspective, they’re all such comedic horrors?  Well, observe the same principle in action:  Behold the birth of Bitcoin Supersonic Bomb!

After all, as we’ve all heard, developers are unimportant.

Are you really evaluating my personality to my thread title?

No, I am evaluating your personality based on the demonstrated evidence that you are a moron.  A rude one, at that.  Well, at least you gave me some laughs today; but it was at the expense of the time of people who actually tried to help you.  That’s just not worth it.

Yet my heart softens.  Call it my BOFH instinct.  Somebody should help you.

Here is the secret of Bitcoin:  The bits of the coins live in the electrons running through wires which power the entire Internet.  Voltage transception in the magnetic fields of power generators keep the blockchain secure.  That is how mining works:  Pulse codes are modulated by ASIC processes called “hashing”, which forms new coins out of electric charges and pushes them onto the wires.  You did hear that mining has high electrical cost, right?

A hardfork of Bitcoin is caused by asymmetric perturbation of the hash modulation, which in turn causes divergence of the hash nonces onto two different permuted chains.  This arises when voltage pushes the electrons through a sharp, pointy conductor.  Did you ever see what happens when you put a fork in the microwave?  See all the sparks?  Well, that is how Bitcoin gets forked, too!  It’s called a “fork” for a reason:  It needs a literal fork, or fork-like device.  Well-financed projects such as Bitcoin Cash used forks made of solid tellurium; but any ordinary household fork will do.

Thus, to fork Bitcoin, you must stick a fork into an electrical outlet.  Hodl it tightly; don’t let go before the process is complete (not that you’ll be able to).  It’s that easy!  No coding knowledge is required.  HTH.  Have a nice trip.

I wan't hard fork to BITCOIN. Why isn't that clear?

The fork happens faster if you have 240V outlets.  Dare I hope?
