Genesis Block Update Instructions

This document outlines the steps to trigger a genesis block update. The following instructions are based on the provided Makefile snippet.

Prerequisites

• CMake
• Make

Steps

1. Generate Premine Wallet (Optional):

   This step generates a premine wallet. It sets the GENERATE_PREMINE_WALLET CMake option to 1 and the PREMINE_WALLET_PASSWORD to 12345678.

   cmake <cmake_release> <testnet> -DGENERATE_PREMINE_WALLET=1 -DPREMINE_WALLET_PASSWORD=12345678
   cmake --build ./src --target premine_wallet
   

2. Generate Fresh Genesis Block:

   This step generates a fresh genesis block. It sets the GENERATE_FRESH_GENESIS CMake option to 1.

   cmake <cmake_release> <testnet> -DGENERATE_FRESH_GENESIS=1
   cmake --build ./src --target genesis_generator
   

3. Build the Project:

   This step builds the entire project.

   cmake <cmake_release> <testnet>
   make
   

Notes

• Replace <cmake_release> and <testnet> with the actual values used in your environment. These are likely variables defined elsewhere in the Makefile.
• The || true at the end of the premine_wallet build command ensures that the script continues even if the build fails.
• This process assumes that the CMAKE macro and other variables like dir_release are properly defined in the Makefile.
• The exact impact of these steps on the genesis block update depends on the codebase. Consult the source code for more details.
