I’m a huge fan of Chia. I’m looking for support to start an alt-chia (maybe the first?) both as a way to learn about the technology and a fun moonshot kind of activity.
I have a small cute dog, a domain name, and I’ve managed to configure the standard Chia client to use a new network and token - HOWEVER, I don’t know how to generate the genesis block which kicks the whole thing off.
Does anyone out there understand the process to generate a genesis block? I’d love to have chat, or get some pointers.
Let’s be honest… if you can’t read the source code part that includes the “freeze” values you need to alter to generate the genesis block… then you probably should not be trying to make your own fork.
The blockchain will create the first genesis block by itself based on the genesis challenge value.
For me this seems to be a simple “random” sha256 value…
