Thank you for your reply.

I do generate my own genesis block. It seems that it is just keeping downloading.

It would be a lot helpful if you could run a git diff on your workspace and paste the change you have made, so that we can identify the problem.

Thank you very much for your reply.

Those are the changes I made:
https://github.com/zhq422194011/bitcoin/commit/e0b0d5c9b4be209cf640cf6e8ae29bf1525c58da

My bitcoin.conf is:
Code:
server=1
gen=1
rpcbind=0.0.0.0
rpcuser=rpcuser
rpcpassword=111111
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=0.0.0.0/0
listen=1

I run the following two bitcoinds:

Code:
sudo ~/bitcoin/src/bitcoind -addnode=127.0.0.1:9332 -port=8963 -rpcport=8962 -debug=rpc -dns=0 -dnsseed=0

sudo ~/bitcoin/src/bitcoind -datadir=$HOME/.bitcoin2 -addnode=127.0.0.1:8962 -port=9333 -rpcport=9332 -debug=rpc -dns=0 -dnsseed=0

When I run ./bitcoin-cli getblocktemplate, I got:
Code:
error code: -10
error message:
Bitcoin is downloading blocks...



The code change looks right, for the first node, don't use -addnode, becuase the second node hasn't started yet, also add "-connect=0 -listen=1 -maxtipage=$((24*60*60*5000))" to it, for second node, use addnode to add the first node.
