Fork by mining #221

Open vectorean opened 6 years ago

vectorean commented 6 years ago

Hi! I want to fork Zcash by mining a new block branch. I left the original genesis block from Zcash blockchain and did not download the next blocks. When I run z-nomp, I get error:

(Thread 1) getblocktemplate call failed for daemon instance 0 with error {"code":-9,"message":"Zcash is not connected!"}

But I not need to connect, I want to mine new blocks from genesis block.

Yeah, that's not how this whole "crypto thing" works.

Well you either generate a new zcash genesis block; or fool the zcash daemon into thinking it has other peers.
