There are no fixed rules about how an altcoin generates its first coins, it's implementation specific.

Hi,

I see a lot of altcoin poping up every day.
But how are the first coin generated?

From what I understood mining is validating transaction,
but since at the beginning there is no coins, then there is no transaction to validate.

Thanks.
