TurtleCoin fork: how to define addresses prefix for miner?

I forked TurtleCoin and customized some config including addresses pefix. I compiled it on Windows using Visual Studio. Wallet and daemon work fine but miner do not work. When I start miner and add address get this message:

Address is not valid: The address does not have the correct prefix corresponding to this coin - it appears to be an address for another cryptocurrency.

Where can I define addresses pefix for miner?

I followed these steps: https://github.com/turtlecoin/turtlecoin#windows

Solution

  • Interesting, looking over the codebase this error is referred to as ADDRESS_WRONG_PREFIX. Which is returned by an the function validateAddresses which the mining code calls, here.

    This function simply checks that the prefix matches WalletConfig::addressPrefix, meaning that as long as you changed the address prefix in the wallet config located here. It should work.. I hope this is helpful.
