How to modify chaincfg.

[ChrisCates]

Hi all,

I hope you all are having a good day.
For a project, I'm working on. I need to modify chaincfg.

Ideally, I am able to migrate a btcd fork to be fully compatible with Divi. But for the time being... I just need to get chaincfg fully migrated and working properly in our atomic swaps implementation.

I need two files for the atomic swap implementation to be fully compatible with Divi.

• genesis.go

• params.go

Using chainparams.cpp as a reference to update these files. What exactly do I need to do to make this fully compatible with the Divi chain?

So far, I've modified:

genesis.go

1. genesisCoinbaseTx (but not TxOut.PkScript)

2. genesisHash

3. genesisMerkleRoot

4. genesisBlock

params.go

1. TargetTimespan

2. TargetTimePerBlock

3. MinDiffReductionTime

4. PubKeyHashAddrID

5. ScriptHashAddrID

Please note that I am just trying to get testnet3 to work only for the time being.

Currently. When I try to interact with a Divi RPC client. I will get this error:

{
    "error": "unknown address type",
    "code": 2,
    "message": "unknown address type"
}

Thank you in advance for the help.
And, if I am able to get this working. I am going to create a guide on how to update btcd to be compatible with other Bitcoin forks.
