Coin making guides

[immakingacoin]

I am making a new coin, and am working through some error codes, so I thought I would create a thread that people could look to when they are building a new coin and run in to problems. This thread will contain not only what I am doing but an entire list of places people can go to get information about making coins.

First, here is my error codes. We will get through them this week and the coin will be done by the end of the week, so there will be more information in it by then.

Video guide
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1278734.0
This is the main guide I am using but there is something wrong with the libraries that he tells you to download for Unbuntu in the description on his first Youtube video. If anyone can solve that problem, share the solution here so that the solution is here for everyone. What we are going to do to solve the problem is just use CentOS instead, as we are more familiar with CentOS, but used Ubuntu thinking that it would be better to do exactly what was in the guide. But because the error messages come up that are mentioned in my thread with the error codes, we realized that it will just be easier to use CentOS for us.

Oh, and these. These aren't really coins, but are contracts that are kind of like coins. Kind of like shares of a company that are represented by coins/tokens. They can be used various ways, but are usually advertised as if they are Cryptocurrency, but are not really.
https://www.ethereum.org/token
https://bitshares.openledger.info/account/(your Open Ledger username)/assets/

But if you are going to pay for a Bitshares asset, which is expensive, you might as well just pay for your own coin. The only reason you would want an asset over a coin is if you wanted to have complete control over it, where people don't mine it, you distribute it to them like a share of a company.

Not exactly sure what this is, it claims to be an in wallet coin creator, and I assume it is like the ethereum and bitshares assets/contracts, but it may actually be an in wallet coin creator.

My personal philosophy is that if your plan is to make a coin for release on Bitcointalk don't make a coin. Make a coin for you, your family and your friends, or for your kids soccer team and their parents, or for your new social media app, or for other specific reasons like that. If someone is making a coin just to release on this forum, I agree that they shouldn't use coinwallet or even really make a coin. But if they have a reason, then coinwallet is probably ok.

Thank you for posting this very informative info plus the links and resources given. Sometime it crossed in my mind how they make coins,the process involved etc.  This gives us an idea how it is done but I think there are many platform to  consider, the cryptographic algorithm and many more factors.

Altcoins are already flooding with so much shitcoins

I'm sure you took a lot of time just to compile this coin and it's worth it,users will bookmark or copy your works ,thanks for taking the time I seldom see a compilation thread in this section and your work is worth it.

Hey no problem, this was from the beginning ment for people to use since i was vexed that i couldnt find a single step-by-step guide to make my own coin, shoutout to the thread starter too, nice !

[immakingacoin]

I could have posted this in this thread, but I think it is better to just post the link, so that the entire discussion is here. This is part of what I did to make my coin, but here is the main things you have to change to make a coin.

This is very nice, I'm sure a lot of people will benefit from your compiled list because it is so complete.

But it's not all about creating the coin, it's about promoting as well.

You should add more about promoting and selling the actual altcoin. You want people to start using your coin.

Anyways, it's a great list, love it!

I don't think it is about promoting and selling. Coins shouldn't be made to be promoted and sold. Coins should be made for a reason, and be attached to something. If Google made a Google coin, it would be the most popular coin in the world at the end of the first week.

A lot of people think "If only we could add just one more security feature" that the whole world would use Bitcoin or Altcoins. It's not really about that it's about making a coin for something. Making coins for a reason. Google Coin, Apple Coin, Droid Coin, iOS Coin, Facebook Coin, NASA Coin, these are all coins that would have massive market caps if those companies would make them. And everyone should look to make a coin like that. What are you a part of? Make a coin for your team, for your company, for your favorite food, or your favorite animal, etc. Just make a coin for a reason.
