Hello everyone,
i want to create my own coin as a private project because i am fascinated about bitcoins and want to understand the technology to bring the people closer to it.
I tried to start it the most simple way with this tutorial:
http://dogecoin.ga/how_to_create_scrypt_based_altcoins.htmlAs i am using Ubuntu i downloaded the bitcoin code from github and compiled it (i first had to install libgmp3-dev and libmpfr-dev aditionally - because i got the error: gmpxx.h missing).
sudo apt-get install libgmp3-dev
sudo apt-get install libgmpfr-dev
after adding the epochTime and the human readable time i compiled it with:
make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=-
This runs without mistakes. After this, one should run
to create a Merkle hash in the debug.log file. I get the error message:
newcoin: main.cpp:3495: bool InitBlockIndex(): Assertion 'block.hashMerkleRoot == uint256("Numer of the old hash in main.cpp")' failed. Aborted (core dumped)
But the file debug.log is missing in the newcoin folder.
I am searching for days now but simply no one seem to be stuck at this point. Someone was saying that the code to create a Merkle hash is removed from the sourcecode but how is the Merkle hash then generated and why is there no debug.log in my folder? I am a little bit confused and frustrated. I need some help please?
