So-called “Bitcoin Cash” is a rip-off which changes just enough to cause trouble, while keeping just enough the same so as to cause more trouble.  You should not look to it for guidance; if you’re making an altcoin, change the port number (among many other things) as I told you in one of the many other threads you’ve started.  You don’t want to be a rip-off, right?

P.S., myapple, please keep your closely related questions on the same subject matter within one topic, rather than spreading many redundant topics with minor variations of the same questions.


Bitcoin-ABC uses the same ports and the same data directory as Bitcoin Core.  On Windows, it also uses the same registry entries.  This causes problems if you want to run both programs on the same system.

I think that’s hilarious, in the sense that people who run that junk deserve any mischief it may cause them.  So, not only will it make users lose money due to the identical address format:  It will also clobber your Bitcoin installation?  I am asking.  I wouldn’t know.
