We are the same i am looking too for a open source altcoin and how to create your own altcoin..
We always see every theres a new born altcoin and i would like to study how to make altcoin and it even in yobit
I will still studying it the page of addcoin in yobit here https://yobit.net/en/addcoin

I tell you one thing that really surprises me with the Altcoins is how high the valuations are on some of them.

I see some Altcoins which have a total market cap of a million dollars or more, and they're average daily trading volume will be around $4,000 or less.

It makes no sense to me.

Take a look at this gem:

There is a website offering to create your own coin, for a fee of 0.5 BTC I think. Most of those coins have no value at all and are just scams for the developpers to raise some quick easy buck during the ICO, then dump their coin at the first exchange and move on to the next scamcoin.

Create a coin is not a problem.
Even here in the forum saw the subject of the creation of coins on Dashcoin platform.
It's hard to create something completely new, something that will crypto community.

I know NeuCoin is severely premined. This is the link for it:

http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/neucoin/

I found the source code for it at the following link:

https://github.com/NeuCoin/neucoin/blob/master/src/script.cpp

I started a project on github for GardenCoin.

This is the link for it:

https://github.com/gardencoin/gardencoin

I read the entire 24 page PDF(http://obscurium-crypto.xyz/downloads/cloning.scrypt.altcoins.pdf) and I tried to go to the foocoin link but it took me to a dead page. This it the link for it: https://github.com/foocoin/foocoin 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Great Guides. Love this thread.

Question for those who may know. Is it possible to design a coin that does not have a predetermined mining schedule (i.e. X coins per block and halved ever Y years, etc) but instead to have X number of coins premined at genesis and Y more coins mined on a non predetermined date in the future, and Z more coins mined on a still non predetermined date in the future... etc. ? The type of coin I am trying to develop would need to utilize this framework. Looking for creative ways to solve this challenge.

Any ideas?
