Title: How hard to make own coin ?
Post by: notNigel on January 10, 2014, 06:16:22 PM
Is making a new currency something any noob can do, or does one need some skills first ?

You need some knowledge and most of all, you need good marketing.

If you take a look at this forum you'll probably see that it's not very hard  ;D.

Like making another bicycle  ;D
Too few really innovative currencies... and i think future will be with scrypt-jane (less heat, less temperature, scrypt asic proof etc) and even more complicated algorithms, maybe even also with BOINC implemented.

...just for the lulz, I should add - I already accept that the universe wants me to always be poor (by western standards)  :'(

That sounds like clever stuff, and I hope someone does make a currency/BOINC thing. Right now someone is already working on this, I feel it.

Do I just get the litecoin code, swap out a few bits for my new branding, and run it ? Is it that noob-easy ?
There must be a how-to somewhere ?

Do you need a server to run the coin network permanently?

Not really if its just for lulz, your PC/laptop on 24/7 running the wallet will be enough if you get a static IP to give as an addnode=

The advantage of using a server is the 24/7 running and its static IP, you can then free your PC/laptop to do other things.

Gridcoin already using BOINC https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=324118.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=324118.0) But it's still not listed on any exchange.
