Improving my general knowledge of Cryptocurrencies and the Blockchain by creating my own, albeit boring Cryptocurrency

---

My interest in Cryptocurrencies has increased massively over the past few months. Blockchain truly is a revolutionary technology. It is such a fascinating concept that I decided to delve a little deeper and try to create my own Cryptocurrency. Although it won’t be revolutionary like Satoshi Nakamoto’s bitcoin was, it will help me truly understand the technology that powers it.

Since this idea came to me during a very boring night, I decided to name my Cryptocurrency the Boredcoin. It will be based on an old fork of Litecoin, and I will be discussing all of the specifics of the coin at a later blog post.

Please note, this is not a 'serious' Cryptocurrency nor is it another 'ICO', it is an educational project. Although, you will be able to mine and send Boredcoins to your friends at the end of it!

Some small goals
