Hello Aravind,

I'm not a developer so I couldn't help you with your request but I will tell you this. If you don't know how to create the genesis block, then perhaps it is not a good idea to create a new coin in the first place :)

It's a perfectly legitimate question and the answer should be documented.

Why Not?? You should elaborate your response as it does not make any kind of sense to me and many others!! Why should such a question be demonized , sharing knowledge is good and every question should get a proper answer to be honest, .
