Alt-coin creation tutorial

[hashunter]

I'm currently writing a Alt-coin creation tutorial 
Is there all ready a tutorial or any documentation which explain it?
If it is so please post the link I haven't found any tutorial yet.

actually would be better a script.

Imagine, "double click" to:
1 - download/upgrade compilers libraries
2 - fork a coin
3 - change the code
4 - commit to the fork
5 - login on bitcointalk and publish a new thread with ANN and the ultra new coin skills (optional)
6 - premine (optional)
7 - upload the binary
8 - (if 7 skipped) set a list of computers to be just ready to mine (optional)
9 - (if 5 and 6 skipped) new thread with ANN the text "no primined" on the list
10 - (if 6 skipped) mine, mine mine (optional)
11 - stay checking bter/btce to dump coins (optional)

exaclty this, there should be gui interface to start your own coin and select main parameters down load libaries (cross) compile,

in-fact If you want to start a bounty send to my BTC address and I will send all bounty to a working gui

this will either be the making of alts or their finish so should appeal to everybody

Yeah I thought also about such a program.
It's very easy to make a alt-coin, when you look FeatherCoin , CNC and all this *****Coins.
They changed 20 lines of code to set another amount of coins and an other IRC channel name.
The other changes were only to replace "litecoin" by their coin name.

i could do, but i was unable to compile a client never. always always always something is broken/missing. The rest i could do.


i just hate when people use libraries in his code and they don't add a copy of the sources used, version number or something...  u need to investigate what the f*** he used.
And no, not everybody uses boost, i dont see useful having million of random classes in random/kaos design ways, and not general aim. Less, when u are using Qt already.

[hashunter]

I compile it fine on Ubuntu  
Guys!
I'm writing your Script, it will be a PHP script.
Release in 48h  
Prepare you to see 10 new alt-coins/day!

[bnogal]

yeah, maybe you did in a machine u dont have set to program native code for android.

i just get "your gcc is shit"
and if i try to compile something using gcc is working. For sure some mess with libraries, 64bits libraries or something....


If you do in php, you could upload it to a server making everything easier

[gjpminingco]

actually I would really be interested in this as I have some Very very good ideas for a coin but I don't know how to go about and implement them at all Please let me know how I can help



I will be watching this thread for the post of this script

[BitHits]

I too have some great ideas that address some of the horrible flaws and shortcomings of BitCoin - I'm also a well versed webmaster and have access to hosting. But .. My C++ skills are sub-par to say the least.

I made a post detailing some of my suggestions here;

What the community absolutely needs in an AltCoin. From a multiple Faucet owner. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=209778.0

Even if you could just write a script to handle the libraries, various protocol changes, genesis block generation, etc - without having to provide forum login details. Would suffice.

I could understand you perhaps wanting to make it automatically announce upon compile. but still, Even with your script it would be responsible to actually, you know, test it before announce.

this is exactly my problem!!!

I'd fork some litecoin version for you vs. a little donation

includes namchanges etc... pics and name have to be provided, as block amount and difficulty adjustment wishes
Will then provide source + windows qt + windows daemon

Just pm


Ps: If someone is interested in helping me on a really new coin, pm me for details, skilled programmer(s) needed

Altcoin mass production can begin  
PHP Script working fine.

when are you releasing?

I still would really love to see this. I think its a really good idea. I for one would certainly appreciate it.
Sure a script to do it automatically is interesting, but I would like to know how its done manually and how it works.

[hashunter]

First I'm releasing my AltCoin to be sure it works great.
It will be CalinCoin (CLN).
Calin is the french word for hug so it will be convertible to hugs.
It will be a king of virtual gift to show you love some one.

dont kill innovation please 

[FinShaggy]

I have an awesome idea for a coin. Like AWESOME.

[jayo89]

Okay am I the only one that thinks it's a terrible idea to make it easy to produce these garbage coins?
A brief tutorial can't teach them how to write the code necessary to impart anything unique or different into the coin, meaning that pretty much all the output resulting from such a guide would be absolute garbage.  Do we really need more useless coins with a different name and a different logo, maybe.

Please, if we are going to educate people, can we not try and take a shortcut?  maybe teach people what cryptocurrencies are actually about what what makes them tick.  Maybe then all these little skiddies would have a little respect for the work that's gone into some of this stuff.

But, if you do make this service, you should make a coin that people use to pay for it called CoinCoin: the coin you use to buy new coins.[/sarcasm]

20?  try six.  And they never update their repo with checkpoints as the blockchain grows (mostly because they don't know how), so they get 51%'d after a week.
