1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: build-a-co.in - free instant altcoin source code generator on: July 22, 2014, 02:36:55 PM
Holy crap!

Thanks for this, I was wondering how I'd have to create my own (Not for retarded alt spamming and so) for other things, but I'm happy to see one of these in existence.

However, after creating a test coin (Promptly named testcoin) I wasn't able to figure out exactly how to open the qt, set up a node, etc. I'm still looking into guides, but I'd like anyone's advice as to what I can do differently.

Any suggestions? I get the files downloaded after pressing "go", where do I go from there?

No I don't want to make alts to pump n dump, just curious.

The downloaded files are just the source code; it's up to you to compile the programs and get everything set up.  I realize that's no easy task for a lot of people, but building in the compilation process would keep the service from being instant.
I'm figuring out how this works, don't worry.

Now, how can I be sure it's safe as well?

I do like the explanation you gave, however, and a check does pretty much appear equal to Litecoin... But I'll do virus scans to be sure. So far nothing has gone sour, but you can never be sure.

You can never be sure; you'll just have to vet it to your own satisfaction.

For what it's worth, I also have a long and active history on reddit http://reddit.com/u/zagaberoo and a bunch of other open source projects.

how many viruses, premine , hiden code and broken code does it come with ?

Skepticism is of course healthy, but since the service produces only the source code for the coin rather than binaries, it's trivial to compare it to the litecoin source the generated coins are derived from and see that only the requisite tweaks are made.

Additionally the service is open source if anyone were of the mind to look through it.

Broken code is of course a possibility, but I have tested coins it produces.

http://build-a-co.in

Build-a-Coin is yet another automated altcoin creation service, but with an emphasis on speed.

Set a wide array of parameters to your liking, hit go and a tarball of your new coin starts downloading immediately.

It's up to the user to compile, run, and bootstrap their coin; it's really not terribly newb friendly in that way, but the coins are fully functional unless you pick insane parameters.

Lastly, it's free software under the AGPL: http://git.shick.in/buildacoin

enjoy!

I think that's normal. It needs 120 confirmations which takes a while now.

120 confirmations may seem extreme, but it was relevant during the March 11 fork.  Since people had to wait 120 confirmations, nobody on the 'wrong' side of the fork lost anything by the time the fork was reconciled!

I'm actually not a fan of his.  He always comes across as an unbalanced fanboy.  I think he's a net detriment to bitcoin acceptance.

Welp, I want to post a review for Bad Dog Farm's awesome bitcoin logo soaps (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=164381), so I guess I have to make five posts.

This is the first.

Hi.
