Generally this altcoin is not for me ..
I was asked by a friend to clona a coin and made some changes ..I little know C + + so I agreed .. Changes have been made.. to test the coin I used a modified bitcoin - testnet -box, I generated the genesis block .. mining, transactions etc. work well. . So it is ok .. to do were a package for platforms .. there is no problem too ..
Worse thing looks like when I want officially launch this coin .. ( my knowledge of what is bitcoin is the medium level, about the network is not too great. I try to be learn, but on it also takes time. I do not know if I want to be interested this in the long term . . )
I do not know what load we can expect .. this might be the beginning of 200 users and can be 2000 .. I do not know how he will promote this coin , etc. ..
So if someone is familiar topic and can help and give me advice about how looks like a start coins and what is needed ( hosting requirements, configuration, etc. .) I will be grateful for it .
The most important issue to start a coin is to say why your coin is intresting for other people. Bitcoin had a lot of innovations. Litecoin, Namecoin, Primecoin, Yacoin, Datacoin, Peercoin, NXT, CryptoNote/Bytecoin ... had technical innovations too. Doge was a really good joke. What is new in your coin?
