You don't need to be a developer to make your own coin on the Nxt platform.
Nxt 2.0 will provide options to create own blockchains, in 2017.
This is a good option for developers but I would like to know if the coin that you are going to create are these trade able on exchanges,and what are the coins in existent that were created using the NXT flatform ,this could saves money and effort for developers who wants to launch coins using the NXT flatform..
