Once you're able to run a private testnet, a real new chain can be started in similar way, just change the symbol TEST to whatever you want (need to modify some code though, also there are some restrictions so you need to understand at least some part of the code).

Hi,
I have already running bitshares core and wallet, but you said run a private test-net , so i will remove first my existing exchange and then i will run ? or i can run the command in existing installation ?

You said you want to "publish a new block chain starting with no transaction". Apparently need a new setup.

Please describe your requirements or questions clearly.

What's a "METABLOCK "?
You consistently mentioning "a new block chain". Your running testnet IS a new blockchain. Unless you're asking for "a new asset" or "a new token". Or "a new website hosting the GUI interface for BitShares".

For a testnet, it's unable to get the "meta block with no transactions" via API. It's defined in genesis.json.
