Need to create a 1:1 copy of Bitcoin....

[S4VV4S]

As the title says, I need to create a 1:1 copy of Bitcoin for a project I am working on, with the only difference being that ALL coins will be pre-mined and distributed to users through various methods.

How do I go about it?

I got a 10K VPNcoin cheque to the person that can provide me with detailed instructions on how to do it.
(That means something similar to this: http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=74386533074614359359 )

If you can help me out, I would be very great-full!

if you have the bitcoin-core program.. then you already have the code.
if you were to change the code to mess around with the total cap of coins or current amount already mined, your just making another altcoin.
you might want to check out the altcoin subforum as i think there are atleast 2 coins which have done just this already.

good luck with your scammy pump and dump or attempting to sell fake/altcoins as genuine bitcoins to naive users, as that is what i predict your intentions are.

Hi Franky and thanks for the input....
But you have NOT been helpful at all.

As the title say's I want a 1:1 copy of Bitcoin for a Bitcoin (forgot to mention that) project I am working on.

If you have something of value to add please do so, otherwise, have a nice day

It's pretty easy.

Clone the github source, change the subsidy amount to be the same as the total amount of coins ever produced for the first block. Create a new genesis block, mine the premine, and bam. 100% of the coins are yours.

If you can provide me with detailed instructions (as the PDF I posted) on how to do this then 10K VPNcoins are yours

Mind telling us what your Project is? From a random point of view it looks like the setup of a 100% premined altcoin.

Yes, I do mind.....
Once it is released, you will know 

I still got lot's of work to do.....

Ok well that makes my other idea of a college project as invalid, sounds like the future of a another scam coin with a dev who doesn't know how to develop! Good luck!

Whatever man....
Thanks for your warm wishes  

EDIT: I am a game/web developer...
I have chosen Bitcoin (as a clone) because it's stable and safe for my project.

just set the genesis block with all the coins and the rest with 0

Great! 


Dude, in case you missed it, I am a game/web dev....
So how do I go about it?

OK lets analyze the Bitcoin code.


What is #import and why is it important?

You know.....

You are probably the fourth "smart-ass" that posts here.

If you have something of value to add, I got a cheque for you,
if not, why do you waste bandwidth?

In main.cpp, line 1231, you can change CAmount nSubsidy = 50* coin, replacing the 50 with the number of coins you want in the genesis block.

In amount.h, change line 20 with CAmount MAX_MONEY = 21000000 to where the integer value you are assigning is the same as the number of total coins you want. Set it equal to the value multiplying by coin in nSubsidy if you want 100% premine.

As for the genesis block, you would need to either rewrite that or find code that does it for you. The code to generate that has long since been removed from the source. I may have a snippet somewhere, I'll take a look.

this thread is highly relevant to my interests.  please keep us posted on the progress of this project.

How do I change the name/settings for the coin?

Will do...

Can I ask what your interests are?

For the name/settings for the coin, you've got a lot of searching to do through the code. You simply find strings of "Bitcoin" and replace them with "whatevercoin".

Since you're doing this just for your own personal tests and aren't interested in the code, use a service (I recommend coincreator.net) to make a coin for you. you can even do this for free! I've emailed them before and they are helpful.

Good luck.

Thanks for all your help.
Get a VPN address and PM it to me.

PS: Do it soon as it is late here and I am tired

Sell your VPN on any exchange then send any Bitcoin to the address on my profile as a tip. Don't feel obligated to tip me, but I don't (and won't) have a VPN wallet.

Thanks.

Dude, I only work with VPN now....
Besides, you will lose coins if it has to go through exchanges.

My question is:
Shall I PM you with a cheque?

This amount is arbitrary to lose on an exchange. I'll accept Bitcoin, not VPN.

Feel free to not pay. That's on you. I've listed my options.
