Come up with some great ideas and present them. If you make a coin, do a NEM style stake distribution and not an ICO. Distribute stakes for no cost, keep 5-10% for yourself, and if your efforts pay off the coin will go up in value.
There's already lots of great projects out there so you have your work cut out for you.
Some unique ones... xtrabytes... static nodes that each verify the transaction
PascalCoin... accounts and blockchain trim which allows a manageable blockchain size
Bitbay... using the blockchain to auction and sell items
Ardor... based off NXT, developing tech called "child chains" that allow better scalability. Offers tokens like ETH.
NEM... written from scratch, though also inspired by NXT, developing a scalable blockchain tech known as "mijin" which could eventually be the next big thing. This platform is fairly mature.
Syscoin... also has a version of blockchain trim tech, along with a number of other things. Been under steady development for some time now. Fairly mature compared to a lot of platforms out there.
Then there's coins that offer decentralized storage, VPNs, tons that offer smart contracts, etc. etc. etc.
How will your coin stand out? Ultimately working on scalability first I believe is the best idea... but I don't know what you could bring to the table that's not already here. Maybe join an existing project.
Thank you for this useful information, right now I am just discussing the idea, to let the community decide and see if it will bring something new to the crypto table, otherwise no need start a new cryptocurrency,
Did you see my latest replies? please read them and tell me if you think that the concept is worth the time,
looking forward to hear from you.
