THIS IS NOT REALLY A NEW COIN TO MINE!!
Its actually a tutorial, step by step, with source code provided for two coins: foocoin is empty and ready to be customized; barcoin is the finished product of following the step by step guide found here:
http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=scrypt_altcoin_cloning_guide&#how_to_clone_scrypt_based_altcoins_for_fun_and_profit
and knowing Devtome is a Wiki, here is an unfiltered .pdf version of the guide (will be updated as I add new items):
https://mega.co.nz/#!HFlzgCSb!SqWmpBux9BEUZwiX8o0XGGeEY08fPC76LdIIL91pQq0
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B49exKIsGBn5ajhqSjJyVDR6STQ/edit?usp=sharing
Now a bit about the project in bullet points:
*Its based on Litecoin source, and uses examples found in the SmallChange repository
*Its not designed to be a primer on C or C++ programming, its a "change this and make it work" kind of guide
*The foocoin sources are customized to be as easy as possible to build on Mac, Linux, and Windows and the guide contains the steps needed to install the software and build each wallet.
*It is a tad tongue-in-cheek; the product of about a month's worth of reading and trial and error.
*I will not/can not do tech support for this; I've tried to compile as much info as I could and my experiences building GeoCoin and
Doubloons in to this guide. NEARLY all of the info came from other amazingly helpful people on this board--the rest is from trial and error, google, and various programming snippet websites. I am willing to have casual discussion about coins and coin creation though!
Foocoin Source: https://github.com/foocoin (blank, ready to be customized)
Barcoin Source: https://github.com/barcoin (really more for information and comparison)
I also took the time to build a pacakge of all the MinGW32 dependencies which can be retrieved via git and placed in c:\deps. The Foocoin source -qt.pro file is customized to look for these dependencies in c:\deps but the guide also shows you how to build them yourself and customize the -qt.pro file. The dependencies are here:
Foocoin MinGW32 Dependencies Bundle: https://github.com/foocoin/deps.git
Last but not least, I also included the Windows-Qt addins in another repository so you can bundle them with your newly made coins:
Foocoin Windows Qt Addins: https://github.com/foocoin/windows-qt-addins.git
Whew, ok, one last note--I haven't mastered the redistributable Mac-Qt yet, so consider that section a work in progress. Finally, please consider donating a few bits if you find this useful, my BTC and LTC addies are in my signature. This guide took me nearly 30 hours to compile and my wife would be ever so happy if something came of it
