I am interested in creating my own altcoin that will be minable through a phone app. Can I copy a existing coins source code, edit it a bit, create a whitepaper and launch a ICO for my coin to collect essential funds for creating the phone app, wallet, marketing, etc. I really don't want to create something on the Ethereum platform since I don't know Solidity and most Ethereum ICOs look like a scam. What do you think is this the way to go if I want to create my own altcoin? Also any developers who would be interested in teaming up with me feel free to PM me.

I think coins based on Ethereum are easy to build, that is why we have so many.
If you don't want to use that platform, you'd need to hire some good developers. But the main hurdle would be marketing your ICO, how would you convince people to invest? You'd need huge marketing budget and promising development process to get that.
How far are you into the process?

I am only just starting, have started developing a white paper and a website. My team and I are still deciding if we should go with a Ethereum ICO or not. Fortunately for marketing we have developed very good strategies and a moderate following on a few platforms online.
