Monero Forking Guide

Question

I have been recommended to use the CryptoNote Forking guide (https://cryptonotestarter.org/inner.html) as a basis for Forking Monero. However, there are a number of differences. For example, the following instructions refer to variables and locations that do not exist in the Monero source code but they do in CryptoNote:

//Name Your Coin Section

— in src/CMakeList.txt file — set_property(TARGET daemon PROPERTY OUTPUT_NAME "YOURCOINNAMEd") Example: set_property(TARGET daemon PROPERTY OUTPUT_NAME "furiouscoind")

//NETWORKING - Section 3

Seed nodes — src/CryptoNoteConfig.h Add IP addresses of your seed nodes. Example: const std::initializer_list SEED_NODES = { "111.11.11.11:17236", "222.22.22.22:17236", };

Would anyone be able to advise as to

1. Does anyone have a more up-to-date Monero Forking guide?

2. Where do I put the IP Addresses of the SEED nodes

3. Where do set the Output Name? Does the const char CRYPTONOTE_NAME[] = "COINNAME" now suffice?

4. Is there anything else not included in the CryptoNote Forking Guide that I need to be aware of when trying to Fork Monero?
