making your own alt coin

[andrewboy44]

I'm making my own alt coin for my final project for class. (the coin wont be able to be mined or released to the public). I know how to create the coin and make my qt wallet but I have no clue how to create the genesis block and compile the coin and that is the last step of making a coin. If anyone can help me I will tip them. Ive already given the maker of Un coin over .5 btc for his help but he does not go into enough detail with his work leaving me confused. I will tip a decent amount due that this is for a very important project that I must complete by Friday. I had the maker of Un compile my coin for me so that my project is pretty much done but  I still will need to know how so I can explain. Btw I'm on a windows computer. Please do not take on the job if you can't go into full detail about what you are doing. I do not need another video of someone just building the coin but giving me little information on whats going on.

Get the merkle hash for the genesis block: http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=scrypt_altcoin_cloning_guide#merkel_hash
Mine the genesis block: http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=scrypt_altcoin_cloning_guide#main_net_genesis_block

I assume you have a compiler environment on your computer. Otherwise, get MinGW-64 and Msys and follow https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149479.0

I've thought about it too. I'm not entirely sure either but it would be helpful to have a guide of some sort.

I've used this. Still a bit confused! I'm going to play around with it a little bit more

There are guides all over the internet. I personally paid someone about a month ago to create a guide for me (the maker of UNO) and also paid him to create a video for me but both fail to go into detail about compiling. But they were indeed very helpful, just not 100%

Let me understand this... so you have to explain the process of making a cryptocurrency? Explain how you made your andrewboy44Coin (or whatever)?

Per say. I decided to build my own coin and explain the process of building and having a coin. Over the past month I've read things and contacted various people for help and explanations. Now that I'm ready to complete my own coin I have a slim idea on how to create the genesis block/compile the coin and I'm asking for help. If you have any idea, feel free to pm me
