Experimental personal coin

[jeyjey]

Hello.
I am interested in a very simple and personal coin.
I would like to create a genesis block + blockchain + wallet + daemon.
I created a super mini cluster witch can run a personal mining farm.
The coin should be simple, like Litecoin, with the initial amount of coin premined. This is for educational model. I need this to make some public demos for student at school. The cluster is made with SBC and it runs linux obviously. I can install all about blockchain but I cannot have coins for free to create demos.
I would like to have a personal coin to teach people about.
It could be interesting to have your opinions and your suggested link to download some starter kit.
Many thanks for your precious help.

Easiest way to do this is just to copy the Litecoin code and then run your own client and install a new fork. Make a direct copy and start playing with it, you don't even need a strong computer.

But better for learning is to use BTC or LTC testnet, so you see the "real thing" with perhaps other miners in action?

Hello. Thanks for your very interesting reply. I had an idea to do that. I have some doubts on it.
At first I have to learn what a fork could be done. Probably it is not difficult if I point the attention of the wallets to a local copy of the blockchain. But is there a kit or tutorial for make a private fork of the Litecoin or Bitcoin too? For me it is indifferent. There are no reason to choose the first or the second. For me all altcoin could run. The most important thing is to create easily some wallets, a blockchain and a daemon to run it. Thanks.
