Hello all. I'm looking to make a very simple SHA coin called TestCoin (for miner testing, etc.). How exactly would I go about this? I would prefer NOT to use a service like CoinCreator if possible.

Thanks,
HD

this is pretty much it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=225690.0

then some find/replace:

find /root/newcoin/ -name "*" | xargs perl -pi -e 's/oldcoin/newcoin/g'

create new genesis block. go to town. rinse repeat.
