I made a video that walks you through how to actually achieve full rename (including renaming ALL files and ALL occurances of bitcoin to your own altcoin). Watch it here: https://youtu.be/YXtu3ZIje1g

This guide is well out of date now and missing key info and things that need to be done.

if you fork early coins that still have the old SSL libs ect for example you open up your coin to attacks.

This guide is outdated and should NOT be used for a production coin now.

Guys it was posted in 2013 lol just a touch out of date don't you think lol

yeah I started number years ago
anyways using latest source code possible

This thread is very old, you might check another more recent one... because Bitcoin has changed a lot since. Maybe it should be archived.

This is such a nice tutorial, but doesn't this would means that it will increase the number of low quality coins to be increase even more if more and more people able to create one for them self.

I'm still in the process of creating a new coin, Bitflate, https://github.com/bitflate/bitflate. It's not as easy as following steps. The biggest challenge to come is the infrastructure to support a coin.

many things will be missing if you guys do not see updates. see updates on bitcoin GitHub. or any further altcoins upgraded.  Grin

There are so many things missing from this tutorial (as of Bitcoin 0.18) that you should not worry about that. I just think about all the verifcation.cpp stuff or using stratum and a pool to mine... jezz this tutorial is good for starting but there is so much work that is not explained here (or anywhere). If you are not a very good experienced C++ dev and you have a lot of time, better use bitcoin 0.14 like most coins are using (zCash, Dash, Litecoin etc...) latest version of Bitcoin has a lot of security enhancements that you need to remove to start mining at height=1

Is it possible to mine 21 000 billion coins in the first block and then let it mine 1 coin per minute? Is this possible?

Avoir premine in the genesis block (first block). Rather pre-min on 100 blocks or more so that all the BIP and Segwith can kick in othewerwise if you premine too much at a low height the block will fail to meet the minimum work consensus and your nodes will flag your mining wallet for Misbehavor or wrong block header's errors. Just do it spread on time, and don't forget to change the STALE_CHECK_INTERVAL to a value higher than the time between your genesis creation (1st block) and your first premined block.

Missing some key parts, but I'm not gonna be the one to fill in the gaps for you.

Learn Hazard, your 0.5BTC has no business, lol Grin

What, Is he going to build his own cryptocurrency? I think it is not just enough that he created a code for it. We need here is the supporters that will going to make things possible in the crypto space.

The hardest part that people often miss is: You have to mine your own Genesis block. Here's a guide to mine your own Genesis block.
