Start auroracoin-qt.exe with the -regtest argument
Attempt to build block chain to 225000 height to test sha256 mining

generatetoaddress 225000 address 225000 scrypt

Two problems: generatetoaddress only maybe builds some blocks, it does not produce as many as requested because nHeight is always incremented in the loop in 'generateBlocks (mining.cpp)' - it also stops at block height 145 because that is 'algo-toomany'

But we cannot create a non-scrypt block until block height 225000

Some code needs to know about this requirement and not check for algo-toomany when the block height is low enough to only accept scrypt

The -regtest flag isn't functional, don't use it. Same goes for the testnet.
