This script helps you create own cryptocurrency. It asks you several questions, you answer, and here it is! Easy as 1-2-3 and fast (takes approx. 3 minutes on decent hardware).
This is two-way repo - it both contains:
- cryptonote reference implementation (improved by karbowanec team)
- script, that asks you several questions (7, actually) and compiles your own cryptocurrency
Requirements are automatically installed by the script, if you use ubuntu. If not, please install the following: git, curl, sed, cmake, libboost-all-dev. For instance, you can do it manually like this in ArchLinux: sudo pacman -S git curl sed cmake libboost-all-dev.
The script works perfect (tested) on the following software config:
- Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS (xenial)
- Linux mainframe 4.10.0-42-generic #46~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Mon Dec 4 15:57:59 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
- LSB Version: core-9.20160110ubuntu0.2-amd64:core-9.20160110ubuntu0.2-noarch:printing-9.20160110ubuntu0.2-amd64:printing-9.20160110ubuntu0.2-noarch:security-9.20160110ubuntu0.2-amd64:security-9.20160110ubuntu0.2-noarch
You will also need up to 100 megabytes of free space.
- Install git, if you don't have it
sudo apt install git - Clone this repo with:
git clone https://github.com/sxiii/cryptogenerator - Enter the folder with script:
cd cryptogenerator - Make the script executable:
chmod +x cryptogenerator.sh - Run the cool, semi-automatic script:
./cryptogenerator.sh - Answer 7 questions one-at-a-time. After each question (answer) press enter.
- Wait few minutes, and... Done! Your crypto is laying at ./build/release/src
Please go to ./cryptogenerator/build/release/src location to find your binaries.
Now you can use the following programs:
- coinname - your coin is your main app to start interacting with new coins
- simplewallet - wallet program (cli interface)
- walletd - wallet daemon
- miner - to mine your new coins

If you can help this project to develop, please, do so. I created this repo for collaborative work so everybody who founds any issues or errors could interact with this project to get fast fixing.
- Make this script more flexible with different set-up levels: newbie, pro, expert
- Testing, issues and bug-reports: get the community feedback to see if it's useful
- Test & fully check that script supports archlinux/manjaro
- In the later future - let this script build coins based on different crypto-frameworks (not only cryptonote)
