I mean this with all due respect, because anyone who is taking time to write guides is trying to help the community....
but...
Do we really need a guide for creating an alt coin? I mean we're getting snowed under with a new alt coin clone being released every day / week with zero innovation. If a "developer" needs to be reading this guide to figure out how to make an alt coin, what the chances of it not being a simply clone of something else? Pretty much zero.
Should we really be encouraging this and making it more accessible?

The only reason to make another coin may not only be to compete with bitcoin, some May want to to learn how, some may want to use it for a niche application. For example, how many Linux distribution offer very little in the way of anything new other than a few minor cosmetic differences, many but it helps generate interest to have everyone promoting their distro increasing the adoption of Linux in general.

For example I hadn't programmed in years, learning about making an altcoin has reawaken my interest in programming and has got me interested in doing bigger things, if it does that for others that can only be good unless someone programs a death ray... That would be bad

Stop! You make too much sense.

Also, another application check this thread I made about creating collectors coins, not so much for commerce but coins people would want to own for the novelty, like making Rothbard Coins or Ron Paul Coins (you know plenty of people would mine those just cause of the name, lol) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=191671.0

info on solo mining with the QT Litecoin client, thought it'd be useful for those using the OP since that would be essentially editing the Litecoin client.
