I know this going to be a repeat question, however I am still puzzled with the implementation of the BIP34 especially where it come to its hash.
Referring to the chainparams.cpp at github :
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/chainparams.cpp
static CBlock CreateGenesisBlock(const char* pszTimestamp, const CScript& genesisOutputScript, uint32_t nTime, uint32_t nNonce, uint32_t nBits, int32_t nVersion, const CAmount& genesisReward)
{
CMutableTransaction txNew;
txNew.nVersion = 1;
txNew.vin.resize(1);
txNew.vout.resize(1);
txNew.vin[0].scriptSig = CScript() << 486604799 << CScriptNum(4) << std::vector<unsigned char>((const unsigned char*)pszTimestamp, (const unsigned char*)pszTimestamp + strlen(pszTimestamp));
txNew.vout[0].nValue = genesisReward;
txNew.vout[0].scriptPubKey = genesisOutputScript;
CBlock genesis;
genesis.nTime = nTime;
genesis.nBits = nBits;
genesis.nNonce = nNonce;
genesis.nVersion = nVersion;
genesis.vtx.push_back(MakeTransactionRef(std::move(txNew)));
genesis.hashPrevBlock.SetNull();
genesis.hashMerkleRoot = BlockMerkleRoot(genesis);
return genesis;
}

How to you guys manage to generate the hash for BIP34?
On the other hand, referring to BIP34 wiki at:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0034.mediawiki
Specification:
1.Treat transactions with a version greater than 1 as non-standard (official Satoshi client will not mine or relay them).
2.Add height as the first item in the coinbase transaction's scriptSig, and increase block version to 2. The format of the height is "serialized CScript" -- first byte is number of bytes in the number (will be 0x03 on main net for the next 300 or so years), following bytes are little-endian representation of the number.
3.If 75% of the last 1,000 blocks are version 2 or greater, reject invalid version 2 blocks. (testnet3: 51 of last 100)
4."Point of no return" If 95% of the last 1,000 blocks are version 2 or greater, reject all version 1 blocks. (testnet3: 75 of last 100)
Can you guys come of with the formula or example? plus, how was the consensus.BIP34Height function and being generated?
Thanks
