Issue on generating genesis block on regtest #7

Closed ghost closed 6 years ago

ghost commented 6 years ago

Hi there, I need to generate a new genesis block on regtest but I have an issue because silentarmy does not support "-n 48 -k 5":

GenesisZ]$ ./genesis.py -c regtest -t 1511954736 -Z LitecoinZ6f099db24212fc48cc80bcf8d46874cd44a7a196625cc1e08a567bff77da2e79 -p 04bccfb90b0364ac381985755cb15f2e14214dd9239de85d9ff58bf2eed145dc776daa3469b29b50e459939df5346da0d6d40dbc698830f2022fe64ed6aa701f74 -b 0x207fffff -E 486604799 -v -s "../silentarmy/sa-solver -n 48 -k 5 --use 1 --nonces 4000 -i" Chain: regtest Time: 1511954736 Start Nonce: 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Pubkey: 04bccfb90b0364ac381985755cb15f2e14214dd9239de85d9ff58bf2eed145dc776daa3469b29b50e459939df5346da0d6d40dbc698830f2022fe64ed6aa701f74 Solver: ['../silentarmy/sa-solver', '-n', '48', '-k', '5', '--use', '1', '--nonces', '4000', '-i'] pszTimestamp: LitecoinZ6f099db24212fc48cc80bcf8d46874cd44a7a196625cc1e08a567bff77da2e79 TX/merkle root hash: f67057581d7f6b4316cd854aac32d14228f9d9ed92125317eeb2efbadc395d01 Starting solver with command ['../silentarmy/sa-solver', '-n', '48', '-k', '5', '--use', '1', '--nonces', '4000', '-i', '040000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000015d39dcbaefb2ee17531292edd9f92842d132ac4a85cd16436b7f1d585770f6000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000030991e5affff7f200000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000'] Solver started. Solver banner: Unsupported n (must be 200)

How can I do that? There is another solver to use with your tool?

Thanks, Marco

I already spend some time on that, to no avail so far. Silent Army still doesn't support parameters n,k=48,5, see also this recent issue of silentarmy. It is also mentioned in the Readme as an open todo.

Tromp's solver is now supported. Give it a go, don't forget to make equi485 and use that binary in -s.

This has nothing to do with this (already closed) issue, does it? I don't know LitecoinZ, is 0x2e6 the nonce that produces its genesis block? That's the one you specified with -n. Also, you don't specify -r, that is, how many nonces upwards from the nonce you specify with -n to test. So the solver stops after a single nonce. General usage questions shouldn't be asked as issues, but posted in a forum, like reddit, bitcointalk or zcash forums. Thanks!
