(Asked by: username_0 on 2014-09-24)

I am trying to use Bitcoin's code for some other application.

Is it possible to create a genesis block so that I can initially assign some coins (bitcoins) to some users. For e.g.   
 The Genesis Block contains the following information:   
**Address A has 10 Bitcoins   
 Address B has 5 Bitcoins** ?

What changes do I have to make ?
