I'm interested in using MultiCoin for a Stablecoin example currency (I'm calling 1971coin which will be pegged to the 1971 dollar). However, I'm having trouble figuring out where to start. Is there a getting started guide somewhere explaining how to start your own block chain using MultiCoin?

I would be willing to help develop the guide if you could help me out and I can post it on a wiki somewhere.

See the top article in the create new chain section for more details on that subject. If you need more help join us at #multicoin in freenode for direct assistance.

NameCoin Support added to MultiCoin and Multicoin-qt
Added support for the namecoin net for both MultiCoin and MultiCoin-qt with small changes and created an example bitcoin.conf.namecoin with namecoin chain specs. preliminary tested with MultiCoin and MulitCoin-qt have been a success. To use Multicoin-qt with namecoin I do it like this.
Create a directory /home/yourhome/.bitcoin/namecoin. Copy the file bitcoin.conf.namecoin from the MultiCoin-qt/doc/bitcoin.conf.namecoin into your new created ~/.bitcoin/namecoin/ directory. Rename it to bitcoin.conf in the namecoin dir. Then run your bitcoin-qt as it's named when it's compiled in the MultiCoin-qt like this: cd /path_to_multicoin-qt_build/;
./bitcoin-qt -datadir=/home/yourhomedir/.bitcoin/namecoin ;

To build see https://github.com/sacarlson/MultiCoin-qt/blob/multicoin-qt/README.rst. In Ubuntu 10.04 just installed and ran the qtcreator and select the *.pro file in the MultiCoin-qt dirctory and hit the build botton.
