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.

Has anyone successfully cloned an altcoin, generated the merkleroot and genesis block then generated coins on the first block of their new coin?  PM if need be.
