I really hope no one gives you the answer. No offence, but if you don't even have the skill set to fork the chain, how are you going to add anything of value to it?

we already have too many bitcoin forks without much distinct improvement and usage
why not contribute to make bitcoin better or develop bitcoin related services
and how could you be a good (coin) developer if you don't even know where to begin :-X

Agreed. And if you are a good developer then just make a new coin, don't fork from BTC. And anyways forks are spreading like cancer in the community and are destined to fail, people will dump is as soon as you fork it.

Bitcoin forks are baisiacly a big scam, all they do is make faulse promises to improve somthing  and bring somthing new to the blockcahin technomogy, but all they are just a hopeless way for developers to make more money from stupid people who believe thier shit, the first question i have for you is why create a coin what is your popouse ?, is it moeny glory and fame or just for fun, if you actaully have the skills to create a coin than i am sure using it to make another bitcoin fork is not the awnser because people have had enough of it already.

I guess you're right about those using bitcoin forks for scamming and illegal usage

but what i'm asking for its a programming problem solving that is not to build a coin

from scratch its a hard operation to start it and must have a very good programming skill to

starta anyway i found my sources to get started !
