Hello, I would like to ask few questions about creating my own altcoin. I have absolutley no knowledge in software coding, but nonetheless I would like to learn something new. So, if anyone were so kind to answer me, I'd be very indebted.

Here we go:

1. Does creating and launching your own cryptocurrency requires a specific programming skills or is it possible to do it without it, or with someone's help? (well I know this might sound silly, and I should know the answer, but I had to ask anyway Wink

2. What programming language is required?
3. Is it a complicated process? Let's assume I'd like to change the following things: logo, loading software logotype, name, adresses, amount of coins in circulation, time period between new block and the old one and ammount of coins generated per block?
4. How do I launch my altcoin? Do I compile the source code and the chain is on once the genesis block is generated?
5. Do I need any server for my crypto?
6. What about pools? How do I create them?
7. Blockexplorer? How do I implement it on a website? Does every cryptocurrency has its own blockexplorer avaliable to view on a website?

Thank you very much in advance Wink

If you have zero knowledge in programming, it will be very hard for you to do it yourself.
But if what you want is just a bitcoin/litecoin clone (with changes in item #3), you can create it on coingen with just 0.05btc.

I have paid coingen 2 days ago. Still got nothing. I have sent emails to them with no reply. Be aware - you can't get a refund with Bitcoin transactions.
