I am not a Programmer, I started in a terminal to learn how to make a Genesis Block and that is what I did.

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 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)

I will be posting tons and tons if information on this, the post at the beginning of this thread is hardly what will be posted on the Subject.
Go to:
http://www.PunicWax.com
I have 84 more posts that will be going up there over a period of time, and many more will be added. The whole thing is basically a Thesis, or several Premises, and people may go get their PhDs using this information, and I hope they do because the research in this field needs to be expanded on.
We are creating an Alchemical Mystery School where by understanding certain things, you better understand several other certain things.
Once you become more capable in Crypto, you will be given various other Degrees and then will eventually start your own Central Regional Headquarters free from us having any role in creating or shareholding your Currency. This will be for local purposes, but in a Global Network.
