I want a total of 1 million coin supply and I want those in a master wallet. I will create other wallets and disperse.<br /> <br /> 1) I cant figure our or find total supply in config<br /> 2) after creating chain and connecting two nodes to the master nodem i still have zero balance on all addresses<br /> <br /> &nbsp;<br /> <br /> My params.dat<br /> <br /> ```<br /> # Basic chain parameters<br /> chain-protocol = bitcoin &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;# Chain protocol: multichain (permissions, native assets) or bitcoin<br /> chain-description = testchain # Chain description, embedded in genesis block coinbase, max 90 chars.<br /> root-stream-name = root &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;# Root stream name, blank means no root stream.<br /> root-stream-open = true &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;# Allow anyone to publish in root stream<br /> chain-is-testnet = false &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;# Content of the 'testnet' field of API responses, for compatibility.<br /> target-block-time = 15 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;# Target time between blocks (transaction confirmation delay), seconds.

I am noobish at this and have been wanting to do everything myself but I am a bit confused on the difference between an asset and a cryptocurrency. <br /> <br /> Can on chain assets do the same function? Or do I need to tie a cryptocurrency to my existing blockchain? If that makes sense lol<br /> <br /> Just need pointed in the right direction really!<br /> <br /> Thanks https://www.multichain.com/qa/8578/guidance-on-implementing-a-cryptocurrency-on-mutlichain Tue, 13 Feb 2018 15:43:42 +0000 https://www.multichain.com/qa/7788/can-i-use-multichain-for-my-own-cryptocurrency Is it possible and more importantly is it straight forward to use MultiChain for my own decentralized cryptocurrency?<br /> <br /> I've read conflicting posts here regarding the possibility of this, some saying, &quot;you can't make payments&quot; via MultiChain or that it would be hard to make it &quot;decentralized&quot; or to add more confusion, having to use &quot;asset properties&quot; - some uncommon language or framework (?).<br /> <br /> Maybe I'm the only one confused here and haven't been reading properly, either way, clearing the fog would be nice.<br /> <br /> In summary:<br /> <br /> 1. Can I use MultiChain to synthesize my own fully fledged cryptocurrency?<br /> <br /> 2. Is it any more diffucult than (for example) cloning the Bitcoin blockchain, or at that, is it even easier (fingers crossed)?<br /> <br /> Thank you so much. https://www.multichain.com/qa/7788/can-i-use-multichain-for-my-own-cryptocurrency Wed, 06 Dec 2017 23:12:32 +0000
