Hello, I am a programmer by trade and have been studying how to properly build and configure a Litecoin clone for a few months now. I can compile and customize the coin and I can setup and maintain the public nodes.
I am interested in finding a small group of people with different talents to put together an new Altcoin. Mostly for edification and fun but if it makes a money that's good too.
Anyway...
I would like to find others that are interested in collaborating with me in this project:
I would like to put together a team of a few people and start the process. I can put a coin together and have it ready reasonably quickly once we decide the initial parameters for the coin but I think we should have the website and mining pools and all our ducks in a row before it is released.
Also we would need to decide the parameters for the coin and if we would pre-mine or not assuming not all of us have mining equipment and we would probably like to get at least a few coins for our efforts but these things we can decide as a team.
Off the top of my head we would need the following services from contributors that joined the group:
1) Building a website and preparing content.
2) Building other wallets to run on smart phones and/or tablets
3) Setting up DNS Seeders.
4) Setting up mining pools.
5) Marketing of the coin to get users and people interested in mining the coin.
6) Getting listed on exchanges
7) Assistance in customizing the coin software.
There are probably other things that may be needed that are not listed above so if you have suggestions by all means suggest.
If you would like to be a part of building a new coin I encourage you to contact me and I look forward to finding others that want to collaborate on such a project.
For me it has been a great learning experience already an I look forward to learning a lot more.
Have a great day and remember like the Dogecoiners say: Success comes in CANS not CANnots
