Mining my own coin alone! Balance question.

[dingoKoin]

Hi,

I created my own coin and I'm playing around with it.
I managed to follow a tutorial and get my miner running and generating blocks with two machines.

*But* the coins aren't showing up when i type the command:  mycoind getbalance "" 0

Are the coins not showing because I'm mining all by myself and nobody is confirming them?
Or is there another reason why I'm not seeing my coins?

Thanks for your help!

Chances are that the nSubsidy is set to 0 until a certain amount of blocks have been mined. If you forked smallchange, take a look at line 834 :in main.cpp

Code:

if(nHeight < x) // no block reward for the first x blocks
        nSubsidy = 0;

No, there doesn't seem to be a similar condition in the code taken from CryptoShekel...

Well make sure it is just that or the alt coin police will be on to you lol.

The coin won't be valuable if you are alt mining and no one will be interested in it btw.

geez, guys. the question is purely technical. sure i'm premining but it's a dummy coin. i'm just trying to learn how it works.

It's quite a difficult situation and that depends on a lot of factors.
