Title: Blockchain & CryptoCurrency Development Guides Post by: murderouskirk on May 08, 2015, 11:44:55 AM This is a collection of cryptocurrency development / coin cloning guides. I will do my best to keep it updated.

Title: Re: [Coin Cloning Guides] A Collection of Altcoin Cloning Tutorials & Resources Post by: PatioCrasher on May 08, 2015, 12:10:28 PM Nice... Thanks for putting all of this in one place.. :) Sure! Just hoping we can get some more of it in here. Everyone hordes this stuff which makes it such a headache for everyone who wants to learn. I guess people want to keep the competitive edge in development, but I think it just results in poorly cloned coins when nobody can find updated resources to learn from. Agreed! All of us with great ideas for new alts and experiments are stuck on the sidelines.. . I'm a coding noob though and still learning the basics of PHP and C but have awesome ideas for a new alt.. Back to codeacademy for me.. :-\ Title: Re: [Coin Cloning Guides] A Collection of Altcoin Cloning Tutorials & Resources Post by: siameze on May 08, 2015, 12:25:14 PM I concur with the others, kinda nice to have all those links together in one place. It makes for good reading, even if a bit dated. No harm in building a clone for testing purposes that you wouldn't try on other chains.

Title: Re: [Coin Cloning Guides] A Collection of Altcoin Cloning Tutorials & Resources Post by: thefatman82 on May 08, 2015, 01:13:39 PM This is awesome! I'm definitely going to check this out. I want to learn how, not to flood the market with more crap, but for fun and to be able to look back in 20 years say I knew how to do that. Thanks for posting these.
Title: Re: [Coin Cloning Guides] A Collection of Altcoin Cloning Tutorials & Resources Post by: tyz on May 08, 2015, 05:39:11 PM Why do you support to create more of those copy and mostly scam coins? IMHO, they hurt all serious crypto currencies and lead newbies into bad investments.

IMHO, they hurt all serious crypto currencies and lead newbies into bad investments. God knows no one wants anymore scammy ICO coins. Perhaps by learning some fundamentals however, there may be some people that go on to develop new things for established coins. Title: Re: Deleted. Post by: PatioCrasher on May 09, 2015, 04:49:18 PM Why did the OP delete the post?
I think the more of us that know the basics of coin code, the less scams there will be as more of us will be able to review code before blindly investing on the "faith" of a dev. Title: Re: Deleted. Post by: Cryddit on May 14, 2015, 01:38:12 AM Well, because nothing ever posted online really disappears, here is a quote of the deleted post, as captured by a script when someone followed a link from it to my "how to make an altcoin" blog post on my server. Quote So lately I've been trying to teach myself how to make a cryptocurrency. I've been reading through multiple guides, and have so far found things always seem outdated. I will be posting what resources I find here in the hopes that others will offer up what resources they have. If you have anything better, please share! I will try to keep this thread updated as new intel & resources get added.

I could use some more rookies to go through the learning curve with me. While we're at it, I've got a couple more articles up at this point which people making altcoins could be interested in. Altcoins cannot use the same difficulty adjustment algorithm as bitcoin. Miners being responsive to profits and difficulty make a positive feedback loop which quickly goes nonlinear and crashes the block chain if you try. So I did an update article, where I posted code to replace the difficulty adjustment with MIDAS. MIDAS (multi interval difficulty adjustment system) as far as I'm concerned actually delivers on what KGW promised and failed to do. http://dillingers.com/blog/2015/04/21/altcoin-difficulty-adjustment-with-midas (http://dillingers.com/blog/2015/04/21/altcoin-difficulty-adjustment-with-midas) And here's a post about how to add a premine (and fix it so you can SPEND it!) http://dillingers.com/blog/2015/04/23/adding-a-premine-to-an-altcoin/ (http://dillingers.com/blog/2015/04/23/adding-a-premine-to-an-altcoin/) What I want to know is how he thought my guide was dated?! The version of bitcoin source code I was using is still the current version! Title: Re: Deleted. Post by: PatioCrasher on May 14, 2015, 08:57:22 AM Thanks Cryddit. :)
Title: Re: Deleted. Post by: murderouskirk on May 14, 2015, 02:38:00 PM Why did the OP delete the post? I think the more of us that know the basics of coin code, the less scams there will be as more of us will be able to review code before blindly investing on the "faith" of a dev. Deleted it because I wanted to redo it in more of a guide to blockchain development over guides on how to copy paste a coin. But I've realized I don't have the time to do that and it's the same info anyway so I'm just going to restore it with a different title I think. Title: Re: Blockchain & CryptoCurrency Development Guides Post by: murderouskirk on May 14, 2015, 02:52:47 PM Ok, done. I'm currently looking for info on compiling the windows qt if anyone has it. Preferably using the linux box.

Title: Re: Blockchain & CryptoCurrency Development Guides Post by: Cryddit on May 14, 2015, 07:38:32 PM As far as I'm concerned, the more people are familiar with this codebase, the more robust technology that uses block chains becomes.
I've been thinking of weird applications of block chains. We think in terms of cryptocurrencies because bitcoin, but that's NOT by any means the only application within which we want a protocol for determining a consensus history.

I've been thinking of weird applications of block chains. We think in terms of cryptocurrencies because bitcoin, but that's NOT by any means the only application within which we want a protocol for determining a consensus history. I agree... I have tons of ideas utilizing blockchain tech, unfortunately this community has become so corrupted by con artists that those of us really keen on moving forward have to learn how to code first... And C++ is not exactly a language we can learn overnight.. Title: Re: Blockchain & CryptoCurrency Development Guides Post by: Cryddit on May 15, 2015, 02:03:24 AM My advice on learning C++ is, learn C first.
C is actually a sane language for doing crypto. C++ is insane, because of all the different ways code can look the same while having different semantics. But C will provide you with the basic syntax etc that you need to start to understand C++. I would be considerably happier with the bitcoin source code if it were written entirely in C, and do occasionally spend time ripping C++ constructions out of code bases I maintain.

Too many see it as a insta-scam or a tool to get-rich-quick. Digging deeper, one can see far more possibilities.
