As I was going through the bitcoin core code with a mind towards creating a brand spankin' new altcoin, I came across some parts that are (seemingly) obviously irrelevant/unnecessary/hinderance-ish:
// The best chain should have at least this much work.
consensus.nMinimumChainWork = uint256S("0x00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001f057509eba81aed91");
Additionally the code after this sentence should likely be eliminated as well.
// By default assume that the signatures in ancestors of this block are valid.
consensus.defaultAssumeValid = uint256S("0x00000000000128796ee387cf110ccb9d2f36cffaf7f73079c995377c65ac0dcc"); //1079274
and so I began to wonder...
what else needs to be purged from that codebase to give birth to a new fork coin?
1Could whoever voted to reopen explain why they did so? I feel that this question here is either a duplicate of the other or not specific enough to clearly distinguish itself from the duplicate. Also, the two specific examples would make good separate questions. – Murch – 2017-09-25T15:27:17.277
