That guide is just a rip-off of Shakezula's cloning tutorial with a couple of hidden affiliate links to a cloud server company slapped on it.

Here's a link to the original guides:

I have asked my barber to have a haircut similar to the Dear Leader's. My barber informed me the Dear Leader has patented his haircut and holds an exclusive license of the haircut. Would the Dear Leader consider selling the license to me, for 4 BTC?

You should never work with that person. I don't think that the outcome would be something which would amaze us.

That's ridiculous.

The Dear Leader will sell you the source code for North Korea Coin for 2 BTC.  End of discussion.  It is the best, most popular coin in the world.

spam the living fuck out of the Bitcointalk.org Main forum section with not so subtle advertising posts ?

I am also very interested in buying the Brooklyn bridge and the Empire State building... what's your lowest most-competitive offer?

Don't waste your time buying the source code of rapecoin! What a joke! That's a shitty coin and shitty price. Seriously 2 BTC for rapecoin?!

I can get you the source code of BITCOIN for 2 btc. PM me.

YES! We will create LaughingStockOfTheWholeWideWorldCoin.
Market it to Hollywood and Comedy Central.
Not a bad idea actually. I like it!

Wow you really don't know anything about Altcoins what so ever.  Lol.  I think you should contact Vlad2Vlad.  The 2 of you could create something that would leave the world standing in awe. 

THANK YOU! that's exactly the kind of help I was hoping to get.
Is there a similar how-to guide for SHA-256 (NOT scrypt) altcoin? Or how easy (or difficult) is it to change the algo in the source code?
Sure, anyone can create a new coin, good or bad. The trick is to market, promote it, and create demand for it. I totally agree with you. This is the differentiator. Some members have already PM'd me offering help in that department, especially from China... The Chinese are quite motivated and have an aggressive positive attitude!

Would you be kind enough to PM me a link to such offers, or the usernames of members who made such offers?
I guess I could do a forum search, but I am thinking maybe you already know where to quickly find that info.

Thanks for advice. I am not a developer, have no such experience, will not start learning it now, and prefer to leave that side of my project to a competent one.

I am actually both. And also lazy to boot.

So I decided to get off my lazy bum and use a tool I never heard of before: Google search.
I googled: altcoin source code.

And so, let me put forward a new set of questions to the knowledgeable gurus out there:
(I will also post the questions below in the DEV forums, and endure some more ridiculing   ).

How easy (or difficult) is it to modify bitcoin source to change behavior of a newly-created altcoin?
- Is bitcoin-0.6.3-linux.tar the latest and greatest source available? What langage is this written in? Is this updated on a regular basis? Where is the Windows source (or is it also compiled from same)?
- Can the following modifications be done to the code (a simple yes/no answer would be great):
- All coins are pre-mined.
- All mining is done by only one central point, not by the general public.
- To accomplish above, keep network difficulty at zero or less than one, and never changes.
- To accomplish above, limit number of confirmations required for transactions to one or two only?
- Automatic deposit of a changeable amount of coins (after a changeable mandatory waiting period) in every new wallet activated.

If above changes can be implemented, how difficult (or easy) would it be?

Thanks all for input and constructive criticism.

This happen often so don't get surprised if you see it again.

If you have no experience then download the source of a coin with good devs like Digibyte, Darkcoin or Next and use it for learning.
But please...don't publish the outcome as a regular coin and call it "innovative" 

It needs to really stand out among the pile of copy/scam/shit coins that are released daily.

To be fair, it's encouraged to sell open source software for the whatever price you can.

2 btc for just the source code, seriously? I've seen people in the services section offering development of whole coin (by that I mean source, compilation, and custom modifications) for way less than that.

Either he is totally dumb or he is just being a troll..

Please don't clone Rapecoin.  This coin might be funny if it wasn't so sick and an embarrassment to all crypto coins.  Associating with this pathetic attention seeking coin is going to look bad.

You don't have to be a programming genius to get started. The creators of dogecoin used a howto clone foocoin guide on the web.  

Here is one:

Just think of a clever way to market it.
