How to create my own altcoin?

[a235531]

Hello

I am going to create a new Altcoin. I know about 99.99% do not make any money or are not listed on currency exchanges websites, crypto-currency ETFs or on coinmarketcap.com.

I want to create a altcoin for fun and to learn more about how cryptocurrencies work. The project is for my friends to use and mess about with. The project is not serious at all.

How do you create an exact copy of bitcoin, except with the logos, "files change from bitcoin.php to mycoin.php", code from "Bitcoin" & "BTC" etc to "Mycoin" & "MYC" etc. I want the same max amount of coins and blocktime etc kept the same.

Thanks for your time. Much appreciated.

That is a better idea. You dont need create a new Altcoin to have  fun and to learn more about how cryptocurrencies work. Instead of You can only reviewing codes and threads of other good altcoins to do the same thing with better results.

Don't listen to the naysayers here. 
 
Most of them are threatened by your abilities. 
 
The truth is, if you create a new altcoin, there is a good chance you are going to be rich beyond your wildest dreams and probably replace the others (including bitcoin). 
 
So crank up a new blockchain, and let's get this party started. 
 
I personally envision a future where every human on Earth has started at least four of five of their own blockchains and we have several billion all running at once, each one with a marketcap of several hundred dollars.

I agree, I mean I wish your words to be true. Now I have 1,000.00 DDT (DarkTronToken) and I hope someday they will be much more valuable than they are at this moment. You may have some of them too  , I think the the giveaway is still up.
