Peercoin genesis block creation

You were right about breaking some code during all the modification… I also forgotten to disable the check for the stake modifiers, which led to some errors. That is now also fixed.

After executing peercoind with the -gen parameter, the debug.log is outputting this over and over again:

If I do a “getblockcount”, it returns “0”. Is that normal?

Also I will try my luck with a new “clean” testnet codebase…

Thanks to everyone for the help. This is not to be taken for granted imho.

How I managed to fix my last “problem”? Well, either you keep waiting for your CPU to solve it or as I did:

  1. setup UNOMP pool
  2. point antminer s9 to pool

thats it. My hashrate was just not enough or I was not patient enough to let it finish.

special thanks goes out to @nohea for helping in this thread, but also in discord.

PS to the visitors that may find this through goolgle: check out the discord, its full of cool people :slight_smile:
