Join us and transform your crypto aspirations into a thriving, independent cryptocurrency reality! 11 Steps: Creating Your Digital Currency, Step by Step 1. Cryptocurrency and Blockchain – Vision Creating a new cryptocurrency is like launching a startup; it requires vision and planning. To craft your coin’s purpose, think about the problems it will solve and how it benefits people. For example, if you aim to combat environmental pollution through tree planting, your coin can represent tree ownership, and fruit proceeds go to coin owners. When people want to sell a tree, they sell the coin. Prior to coin development, understand blockchain basics, and pay attention to calculations, hardware, and coin components. Explore these concepts further through optional videos. Your vision is the foundation for building your mineable cryptocurrency. 2. Plan Your Cryptocurrency Once you have a clear vision for your cryptocurrency, it’s time to create a plan. Planning your cryptocurrency means deciding how it will work. Think about Bitcoin, for instance. It has specific rules like a maximum of 21 million coins, mining rewards, halving every 4 years, and its symbol, BTC. Similarly, Litecoin and Ethereum have their own rules. Just like these coins, you’ll need to figure out the rules and details for your cryptocurrency. This plan will include things like how many coins there will be, how people can earn them, and what your cryptocurrency will be called. The parameters you must consider when developing your mineable coin are listed below. 3. Taking care of Source Code Blockchain is like a computer program, and it comes with its own code. The cool thing is that many blockchain platforms, like Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, and others, share their code on a website called GitHub. You can think of it as a big library for computer code. When you want to make your own mineable cryptocurrency, you have to decide what kind of computer code it will use. For example, Bitcoin uses a code called SHA256, and Litecoin uses one called Scrypt. Instead of creating all the code from scratch, it’s often smarter and faster to take the code from GitHub and change it to make your own cryptocurrency. It’s a bit like using a recipe to make a delicious meal but adding your own special ingredients to make it unique. You can get the code and resources you need from a specific website to help you create your cryptocurrency. 4. Generating Genesis Block of your mineable cryptocurrency Every Blockchain Application’s genesis block is the first blockchain. And your cryptocurrency is nothing more than a blockchain app. When creating the Genesis block for Bitcoin, we must generate three Genesis blocks. There are three Genesis Blocks. These three genesis blocks can be created with C++ source code. You can also use an existing Python script to build this genesis block. However, constructing the above three Genesis blocks in C++ and Python script may take a significant amount of time and resources. We designed a little web application to simplify the process of constructing three genesis blocks. Please use this URL to visit this web application and produce a Genesis block for your Mineable Cryptocurrency. 5. Coding – How to create a Mineable Cryptocurrency Coding is a tricky part of making your own mineable cryptocurrency. Here’s what you need to do: I can’t explain every single detail here, but there’s a course on Udemy that can help you with all the steps to create your own cryptocurrency. It’s like a guide that walks you through the process step by step. 6. Building your own Cryptocurrency Creating your own mineable cryptocurrency involves a few technical steps. First, you compile the coin using a program called a C++ compiler. Then, you make a special file that can run on computers using Windows or Linux. To do this, you need to install some necessary tools on your computer. After that,

To Give worldwide exposure to our coin To get Listing in Coin Market Cap Let’s get directly to the quantitative analysis. See the table below Exchange Name Total Volume Low Volume Coin (Less than 0.001 BTC) Percentage of Total Poloniex.com 4000 BTC 3 < 1% Binance.com 154704 BTC 10 <1% HitBtc.com 40582 BTC 50 > 30% Yobit.net 3731 BTC 70+ >50% Mercatox.com 800 BTC 50+ >50% Stocks.exchange 32 BTC 100 > 60% BitRidex.com 250 BTC 3 >50% Cryptocrix.net Not Known 3 >80%   Above table clearly shows that  considering the exception of Poloniex and Binanace , it’s clear that Coin Listing in Big Exchanges doesn’t guarantees that coin will be purchase on huge volume. Even in very big exchanges there are coins which don’t have enough volume. Coin volumes mainly depends on following factor How much big is the community How much active is the development team How many places where coin is readily accepts as other form of payment How Strong is the technicalities of the coin. How strongly it’s being promoted and it’s being brought in the attention of Crypto Users. Time Taken to Grow on the Exchanges After coin is being listed on the exchanges , it’s not wait and watch. Lot of efforts need to put up to get the users attention. To do self sell and purchase and buy more coins , this needs to be done to pump up the rate. Coin dumping needs to be avoided to maintain the rates.Need to ensure private source code or heavy mining machine. Because Crypto Miners immediately start mining and sell them when the price is right. They may even start dumping the coin. After all the above steps are taken post listin the coins , lets see how much time is required to attend the organic 1 BTC Volume. Without our own pumpers. Time Taken By Exchanges to Reach 1 BTC Volume in Organic Way No Pumping by Founders Exchange Name Total Volume Time in Months Comments Poloniex.com 4000 BTC 3-4 Months No Guarantee but chances are high Binance.com 154704 BTC 3-4 Months No Guarantee but chances are high HitBtc.com 40582 BTC 6-7 Months No Guarantee.

Major Component required to Setup Explorer.  Nodes Js Mongo DB Coin Setup Domain Point Let understand each and every step to Setup Explorer.  Node Js Node Js is required to run the UI of the Explorer and interact with coin to fetch the data and insert the same into Mongo DB. You can installed Node Js using There are three ways of installing Node JS 1. Binary Installation. Please view the link for Details Step. Click Here to Install Nodes Js From Binary 2. Installation from Source Code. To install Node js from Source Code Click Here 3. Installation from Ubuntu Packages. To install Node Js from Ubuntu Packages click here Mongo DB Mongo DB serves as an back-end to  Explorer. All the transaction in block chain are also stored in Mongo DB. Please click here to Install Mongo DB in your ubuntu system. Once Mongo DB is installed we need to create the database which will be by iquidus explorer and setup the credentials for that.
