Making an alt coin

[iluvbitcoins]

Is there anyone willing to teach me how to make an alt coin?

Probably the easiest way. If you are looking to make a "real" altcoin, with unique features, then you need to learn programming.

I don't want to pay someone else to create it

I would like to see how to process works

yeah, I know some basic c++, but just the basics

would need someone to guide me trough it  

I dont' want to make an alt coin simply to make one, I want to learn the proccess

read Satoshi's paper, and go to github and see the bitcoin's code.

Think it is a good start.

[Propulsion]

LolJosh, he does POS coins.

read Satoshi's paper, and go to github and see the bitcoin's code.

Think it is a good start.

when I say basics really the most basic basics, things like libraries, text input, if string etc.

by downloading from github I don't understand jack

[Coingrab]

It looks a bit harder than people think. I plan to make my own coin someday. It's a lot harder to get things to work correctly as well adding features and making sure they don't mess things up. Best bet is to find a mentor that has done it befor and ask if they will show or help you.

Learning a programming language takes time, patience, a lot of trial and error, and plenty of studying. It doesn't have to be boring, though. I started with a book called Beginning C++ Game Programming. It's still a great introduction to C++, and gave me the foundation knowledge I needed to understand more advanced subject matter. Youtube also has plenty of C++ tutorials if you look around. The thenewboston channel has a good introductory series on there.

It is hard, I created one myself for the networks I partner with, basically it's all trial and error, until I got to a standstill and got help from someone here. It's not an easy process if you only know the basics of c++ more just what exactly is going on to build it then update it as you go.

[Ayers]

there is this guide https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149479.0, i find it to be pretty good, cover everything you need

[DJFML]

Pretty much for Windows, Linux is easier imo, but it's best to build in all platforms.

there is this guide https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149479.0, i find it to be pretty good, cover everything you need

tried it, contacted the OP no answer

I got stuck on 1.3 already

1.3. Ensure that mingw-builds bin folder is set in your PATH environment variable. On Windows 7 your path should look something like:

C:\mingw32\bin;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\

I go to c:\ming32\bin and there is no systemroot

2. Download, unpack and build required dependencies.
I'll save them in c:\deps fold

what does that even mean?

The PATH variable will contain all the directories where the OS will search through before saying: "not found".
I think you have to us a command like:
SET PATH="C:\mingw32\bin;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\"

or something like that

on msys bash(=minGW shell): type: gcc -v

now u are learning some early basics

fine for now.
u will end like:
C:\Qt\4.8.6\bin;C:\mingw32\bin;C:\Python33\;C:\Perl64\site\bin;C:\Perl64\bin;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\

[CoinStarX]

Looks like a bit of fun. Been a while since I dabbled in c++ 

[iluvbitcoins]

so I get this on step 1.4



I should be able to write the gcc -v output inside

I tried reinstalling minGW, didn't work

anyone knows what's up?

After making 1000 coins there is one much better idea.


To make 10000 coins.


One zero of difference is nothing.
