Re: forking a coin : how to merkle root

Thanks for the information guys.
I followed your guide Quantum_Mechanics and it helped alot. I finally was able to succefully clone a X11 coin yet I had to remove some code to get the qt to launch.

I changed the merkle root, genesis block, time and nNonce. Compiled, but was still getting an assertion error.

assertion failed: block.checkblock()

Out of desperation I removing this code from main.cpp

Code:

assert(block.CheckBlock());

Now the qt is running ok but i'm wondering if the part of code I removed will cause some kind of problem.

Can someone tell me what this code is for ? What does it do ?

Code:

assert(block.CheckBlock());

Thanks
