Multichain cloning

Question

Hi,

I noticed that multichain-util clone [old-name] [chain-name] uses the old multichain name as the chain description in the new params.dat file. Is this by design? 

R.

Answer 1

It just keeps the same chain-description as the previous one, and that will include the previous chain's name. You can modify any of the blockchain parameters by either passing parameters on the command line to multichain-util, or modifying the params.dat file before starting the chain.
