Create an Ethereum token.. takes 5 minutes of that and your new alt coin is created.
No I am not going to tell you how to do that if ou want to know how just google it. It's not hard to find out how.
Yeah it's pretty simple to do that, but completely pointless. Without proper team and plan for an ICO and future, making a altcoin is pointless. No exchange will list it, no one will know about it. There are even 15-20 altcoins that are listed on some exchange still they are not known by anyone.
OP don't create a altcoin unless you have a plan for it.
What if the token was for a specific brick and mortar business and designed with no intentions of it being traded but more towards it being spent? lots of business that is not on the global markets, so why couldn't someone mint something that is just meant for local business that is not "pointless" ? Do the platforms support such a venture? (I think so)
The big question - My question - Why does this community overwhelmingly think its all about a global network of trading? Blockchain is more than just the exchanges and more than the value outside views put on a coin/token, the blockchain technology should be used to free someone of constraints, constraints from ill local opinion, and constraints from the blind in position of power, the blockchain tech should be promoted and used at every corner that someone wants to break out and use it - people should never discourage others from starting their own coin/token.
If you think you have a good coin/token idea then you should do it, just my 2 cents
