how to start mining your own coin?

[awais3344]

I was working on a litecoin source where i modified it to generate a new genesis block. It went all good. I started the client. Now I have a problem that since its a new coin, the wallet keeps saying 1 hour behind from network, and no block source available, because its new genesis block, and has nothing to do with litecoin's blocks.

the question is how do I setup a node? Since this is the pc where I created the genesis block. I thought it would keep itself connected and sync new blocks. (Even though there are no miners on network, it should still sync).

I even added daemon=1 and then run the wallet on 2 different PCs. And I still couldn't sync and added rpcconnect=(other pc's ip) to conf file.

I might be wrong here. How exactly do you people sync a new coin or setup a node? I appreciate your help

For instance:

Setup yourcoindaemon to a vps.

addnode=yourpcip
addnode=yourvpsip


Add these to *coin conf files.

why is that addnode of my own PC dont work? It should? And can you recommend me a vps hosting for this purpose. That accepts bitcoin as form of payment.

You will connect servers with nodes. So you have to add nodes to sync network.

I can recommend digitalocean vps with 1gb ram but I don't use any hosting company that accept bitcoin. And sorry for my late reply!

Edit: you can use 2 pc too.
