Hi, I wanted to know which are good steps for the fork of a coin. Since the community agreed that we need to change an algorithm of diff in the coin. I think dogecoin in some moment fork, also other coins too and they recovered the coins in the fork. Which would be the best path so no one loses the coins that they have right now? Thanks I really appreciate any help or suggestions if you have forked a coin before.

So far I have done the fork in Github, download it to my computer and found the coin that needs to be changed.

You cannot fork a coin where people do not lose unless it is a dev issued pre planned event.

First, change as many variables as you can find. The more, the better.

Then, release the new client completely unannounced.
