Detailed guide on how to Create a Litecoin Fork, With Pre-mine instructions

Off the top of my head:
- You need a new genesis block.
- You need a different address byte (e.g. bitcoin uses 0).
- You need to change the default port and rpc port.
- You need a way for clients to find one another. You can run a DNS seed.
- You need to change the "backup client list" which is a bunch of 32 bit integers which represent IP addresses.
- You need somebody to mine initially, because otherwise transactions won't confirm.
- You need to alter the default datadir directory.
- You need to change the magic number in the protocol header, otherwise your client might connect to the Litecoin network by accident, wasting bandwidth.
- You need to change the alert keys, otherwise the Litecoin devs can send alerts onto your network.
- Add a transaction to the UTXDB which is your premine transaction
That's all I can think of, though obviously you'd want to change GUI elements to the actual name of your currency.
Someone remind OP of the service which makes clone coins using a website where you put in block time and algorithm and total coin supply in exchange for the new icon-ed version of Litecoin? – Wizard Of Ozzie – 2014-09-30T04:55:34.797

I'm also interested to know how to form an altcoin to play around with. Which is why I'm learning the basics. What level of skill in C++ have you got? What's the project's goal? What can others learn from this? Any coding section of SE would shoot this down for those reasons as it really feels like a "someone do my homework" query which doesn't sit well on Stack Exchange. – Wizard Of Ozzie – 2014-09-29T10:48:06.417
@DavidSchwartz no that's where we come in – Wizard Of Ozzie – 2014-09-29T10:49:34.790
This is not easy when every time this question gets asked in some form there's never any follow up info from the OP's solitary post! @Wonker, details? – Wizard Of Ozzie – 2014-09-30T04:56:55.987
@wonker tell me your email id or skypeid? – sagar jethi – 2018-01-29T05:51:54.753
