Title: Learn to create altcoin
Post by: joust on August 12, 2015, 06:20:07 AM
I want to learn how to create a altcoin and what a good altcoin has to have. Can anyone provide me this information?

My idea: to create a new altcoin that is none profit for the owner.

These are the links i had in my favorites about making an altcoin:

http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=scrypt_altcoin_cloning_guide
http://www.reddit.com/r/blackcoin/wiki/installation-and-building#wiki_cross_compiling

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149479.0


I actually had an even better link, but i cannot seem to find it...

I tried builing one for private (in family) use, but i could not figure out how to compile the windows QT wallet... Everything else went really smooth...

However, i think you'll probably be dissapointed about the lack of intrest for a new altcoin... There are dozens of them, and most of them are done by devs with loads of experience... even then, i guesstimate more than half of them dies pretty quick...

Thank you!!! I have been looking for these guides everywhere. I will try to make an altcoin, an publish it here if it works all out.

Can i use kali linux as an ubuntu server?

I've got not experience with kali linux, but i wouldn't know why not ;)

I've succesfully compiled both daemon and wallet for a litecoin clone and a cryptonote clone on all my machines:

- Ubuntu 14.04 LTC 64bit on an intel laptop
- Lubuntu 14.04 32bit on a Via Thin client
- OpenSuse 13 32bit on an old intel laptop
- CentOS 6 62 bit on my xeon server (openVZ)

However, i could not compile the wallet on my windows 7... tried crosscompiling on linux with mxe, but i just couldn't do it...

Most of it came from this one: http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=scrypt_altcoin_cloning_guide
It is, however, not complete, nor up-to-date, so i'm afraid you'll have to use all of them, and even use google to find answers to some problems you'll inevitably face when you want to create an altcoin...
If i remember correctly, the problems started in step 1: the coin they cloned from github: the repo was no longer there, so i cloned SmallChange instead... the whole process went smooth, but you actually have to think with every step in the process, and solve the problems you face by using google or the other links i gave you...

Good luck!
