The coin that teaches you about creating your own cryptocurrency
I decided to create this coin for 2 reasons:
1. to show people how easy it is to create your own coin which can teach you a lot about command line interface, simple coding, git and just generally get into programming the easy way
2. to show people that they shouldn't necessarily buy into (or invest their mining power!) into any old coin that comes along, because as you'll see it's really not that hard, and why should you give money to some guy who spent like 4-5 hours doing some copying and pasting and tells you what he's "created" is the best coin there has ever been.

I don't expect this coin to be a huge hit, in fact it's probably full of bugs that will almost immediately break it if anyone starts mining.

What you will get out of this coin is the chance to follow along with me as I build the coin (I'm committing my whole day off today to doing this so I  hope you enjoy it)

Key Info / What you'll get:
A series of youtube videos that shows you every step of the way how to (poorly) "make" your own cryptocurrency.
A "dev" who wants to learn / be criticized along the way
A fair release. This is a scrypt coin and I've only got a single r9 280x so my premine will suck Cheesy so ASICs feel free to jump on board. Who knows, it might even fork and I won't know how to fix it! How fun!
How I created the first pool which will be avaialble at launch (without a domain, because I'm too poor to buy one)

Thanks man It took a while and a bit of troubleshooting but I was able to follow your videos and read the comments in each video that i got stuck in to figure out how to move forward. I was able to create my own coin, DataSaverCoin  https://datasaver.org
Thanks again man. I learned a lot!

I have been following your tutorial but i've gotten stuck at some errors while compiling.
such as this one

allocators.h:12:53: fatal error: openssl/crypto.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
makefile.unix:186: recipe for target 'obj/alert.o' failed
make: *** [obj/alert.o] Error 1

I am using the Lerncoin guide, and I am wondering if anyone can explain setting up Seednodes.

I have gotten to the same point with both Lerncoin and Forknote, where I can Hash the new Genesis Block, then I compile the wallet with the Genesis Block, and when I run the Daemon it just looks for peers for Eternity, even if I run 2 computers with the same Litecoin Clone or Forknote.

So I have discovered that what I am not doing is setting up a Node,

Here is a quick read of everything

Because there is a miner in the wallet run with console command "setgenerate true"


Thank you for clarifying this out for the ones who failed in understanding my ironic message.

And for the ones who still did not understand what about, all core wallet based client programs include a in-wallet CPU miner.
Just fun how those online scanners mostly detects only SHA256d and Scrypt miners...mostly sees no miners for other algorithms.



I just have a lot of pride in my coin and believe it's the next evolution of decentralized currency and wouldn't want it's proud name sullied

Somehow, the network hashrate is 20MH/s and nothing has broken.
This is surprising!

Also, hopefully this serves as a PSA to *NOT* buy into shitty altcoins.

I actually support the idea of this cooin.. You know what. You've done a good job on this.

Teaching more people to make coins might actually help. But then again it might actually just spawn a whole shitload of new clone coins with nothing to offer either.. really hard to say. I for one like learning though.. And still think this is a decent idea educating people.. Maybe some actaully learn.

I agree, it would give us new altcoins, still main thing in forking bitcoin client is learning lots new including learning how bitcoin works, understanding the protocol itself.
