Adding to premined coins

[ghost]

[ Subject of the issue ]

Description

Good morning. My premine script was off by one zero. I needed 1 billion coins, but only mined 100 million. Is there a way to mint 900 million more without recreating genesis again?

Hi @Nexsuperne101 ,

Thank you for asking this. I have converted your issue to a discussion, since this is a better fit.

The premined amount of the coins will be the total supply. No other amount of the native currency (coins) can be minted later.

I found a quick and dirty way to this, without regenerating the secrets again etc etc. Delete the current testnet genesis.json, delete the data-dir/node/blockchain and trie folders. Run the new genesis script and then put the seal line in. Starts from block 1 and with the coins I needed. Obviously you can't do this on a live mainnet.
