Hi All,

I have successfully cloned a POW/POS coin based on compound coin, generated the merkleroot and genesis block and a running gui wallet on Ubuntu 16.04.  The question now is how would I start to pre-mine my first coin?  I have researched and researched on the internet but most of examples show how to pre-mine POW wallets such as Litecoin.  By the way I was able to also clone Litecoin 0.8 through a tutorial and pre-mine by using the setgenerate command.  The problem with my cloned POW/POS coin is that there is no such thing as a setgenerate command.  Would anyone point me or help me on steps that I would have to take to pre-mine?  Would it be through running 2 daemons from 2 virtual machines (i.e virtualbox) and setting one as the server and the other the client?  I know that for the POW/POS coin one would first have to generate the coins then set the checkpoints and after let POS take over.

Any guidance or resources would be appreciated.
