Remove the generate and generatetoaddress commands.

Unless you modify blocks to include IP address information, no, there is not. You could restrict coinbase transactions to have only a specific output script which belongs to you so that blocks that have coinbase transactions where the coins go to another output script are considered invalid. However you will need to modify the mining code to use a fixed script instead of generating a new one for each block.

    Don't remove generate and generatetoaddress for yourself. Remove it for the publicly available version of your coin.
