Bitcoin Forum

Hi,

Please let me know what are the requirement in order to create and develop cryptocurrency?

I need to know from the scratch

don't rush. consider a token creation process first:

But is there a "how to" guide or at least a list of things someone needs to know in order to create his coin ?
maybe something official here on the forum

1. You can fork the code of existing cryptocurrency (code fork)
2. You can create your own crypto (probably by merging solutions from different blockchains)
3. You can create a hardfork of existing cryptocurrency
4. You can run a sidechain on one of the currencies
5. You can create a token on one of the existing currencies (ETH, NEM, Waves, NEO)

Definitely go with Waves if you don't know any programming. I'd still prefer going with creating an ethereum token though, but this completely depends on what you're trying to do. Do you have a team? or are you planning on doing it alone?

Some helpful links:
Waves: https://wavesplatform.com
Waves Chrome app: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/wavesliteapp/kfmcaklajknfekomaflnhkjjkcjabogm
Create an Ethereum ERC20 token: https://ethereum.org/token

If you want to start a coin without programming knowledge, you can use https://www.walletbuilders.com/ (custom coin, wallet, mining software) or https://www.minereum.com/ (ERC20 ethereum token). You can also find coin developers in the Services topic.

If you are interested in programming, you can check the bitcoin, ethereum, monero, etc. source code on https://github.com (you can clone it to develop your own altcoin), learn about cryptography and blockchain programming, or learn solidity to program ethereum smart contracts, tokens and decentralized apps.

It´s really as easy as you say? Whenever i use waves im tempted to use the token creator

Why would you want to create another cryptocurrency, other than a vanity project? I'm fairly sure that doing some basic research yourself using search engines will help you greatly. You can always ask technical questions along the way, but it seems like you are jumping in without the slightest idea

Firstly, for you to create a cryptocurrency you need to get waves or ETH wallet that supports tokens creation.

Thanks for the responses.

If we fork altcoin, what would be the requirements?

Server, block explorer etc.
