how to To create a genesis block
Main.h
Delete Both Main Merkle & Genesis Merkle (example)
Main genesis block
static const uint256 hashGenesisBlock("0x000004611c87517dfd29fe7f34bd6da2e1ad3d305ac12afe80a3229069390f68");
To
static const uint256 hashGenesisBlock("");
and inside Main.h too
Testnet Genesis
static const uint256 hashGenesisBlockTestNet("0x000004611c87517dfd29fe7f34bd6da2e1ad3d305ac12afe80a3229069390f68");
To
static const uint256 hashGenesisBlockTestNet("");
inside Main.cpp
Change this to your Timestamp wanted
(Example)
const char* pszTimestamp = "Blockchain.info Block #312427 2014-07-25 14:15:16";
inside: Main.cpp
Change these both to your Epoch Time wanted //Unixtime check google
txNew.nTime = 1406297716; (example) (example)
block.nTime = 1406297716; (example) (example) (example)
inside: Main.cpp
Change these to 0
block.nNonce = !fTestNet ? 190271 : 190271; (example) (example) (example)
inside: Main.cpp
Change this to say true
if (false && (block.GetHash() != hashGenesisBlock))
into
if (true && (block.GetHash() != hashGenesisBlock))
inside: Main.cpp
Delete the Merkle root
assert(block.hashMerkleRoot == uint256("0xc9c8f6250a60dc79038b9ae68ff747488ac80d4a2db0b194cf49628495448d21"));
To
assert(block.hashMerkleRoot == uint256(""));
Now Compile the Wallet, and let it crash.
as next you find on the debug file the Merkle Root/Hash
replace it into the blank space from you step before.
but make sure that you have to add to the beginning 0x
just compare and undo the steps with the new infos.
Save the Main.cpp with the New hashMerkleRoot added by you.
and recompile. then start again and let the wallet crash
one more time like before. visit again the debug log
and replace other infos.
you find in the debug block.nNonce you remind that you remove that before.
and the Genesis/Block Hash .. you remind you delete this as first.
copy and paste into the free space inside the Main.h and add 0x on the beginning too.
That's it. Save all files and compile one more time.
and you are a Coin Developer :-)

What would it mean to have a valid PoS genesis block? What would you even be proving stake of? – Nick ODell – 2015-08-19T08:31:19.260
