The coin that teaches you about creating your own cryptocurrency
I decided to create this coin for 2 reasons:
1. to show people how easy it is to create your own coin which can teach you a lot about command line interface, simple coding, git and just generally get into programming the easy way
2. to show people that they shouldn't necessarily buy into (or invest their mining power!) into any old coin that comes along, because as you'll see it's really not that hard, and why should you give money to some guy who spent like 4-5 hours doing some copying and pasting and tells you what he's "created" is the best coin there has ever been.

I don't expect this coin to be a huge hit, in fact it's probably full of bugs that will almost immediately break it if anyone starts mining.

What you will get out of this coin is the chance to follow along with me as I build the coin (I'm committing my whole day off today to doing this so I  hope you enjoy it)

Key Info / What you'll get:
A series of youtube videos that shows you every step of the way how to (poorly) "make" your own cryptocurrency.
A "dev" who wants to learn / be criticized along the way
A fair release. This is a scrypt coin and I've only got a single r9 280x so my premine will suck so ASICs feel free to jump on board. Who knows, it might even fork and I won't know how to fix it! How fun!
How I created the first pool which will be avaialble at launch (without a domain, because I'm too poor to buy one)

This coin should never be listed on an exchange in his sense! A learncoin should be Open Source and for the Scientist and interested ppl!!!!!!

Because there is a miner in the wallet run with console command "setgenerate true"

Bookmarked... awesome job mate.. really appreciate it.
finally some selflessness !

thanx ! i hope i can learn as much as possible

No worries glad you enjoyed the vids

[tarrier]

nice tutorial truly.  trying to make one for test

[wildduck]

Good concept of coin, and very good tutorials for making one

[SushiNoTomato]

This is probably going to get added onto YoBit, people will buy & then end up being like this.

[wildduck]

I don`t think so mate.

Thank you for clarifying this out for the ones who failed in understanding my ironic message.

And for the ones who still did not understand what about, all core wallet based client programs include a in-wallet CPU miner.
Just fun how those online scanners mostly detects only SHA256d and Scrypt miners...mostly sees no miners for other algorithms.

I just have a lot of pride in my coin and believe it's the next evolution of decentralized currency and wouldn't want it's proud name sullied
