I created my own Crypto Currency - QUE coins

in #ethereum8 years ago (edited)

Here's how I've done it, with a detailed step-by-step procedure. You can't go wrong I hope.

I first tried creating my own cryptocurrency using the Ethereum Wallet. I hit an road block because I need to buy ETH coins to create my token (cryptocurrency) to cover the transaction fees, gas, and other fees managing my cryptocurrency. I think I need at least 3 ETH currently trading at $311 plus the fees for transactions (gas). I stopped here, wahhhh Crypto Forever !!!

Anyway, this is the second try and this time around it is successful. I will cover how I accomplished it, step-by-step so other will follow and create their cryptocurrency using Ethereum Decentralized Platform.

You can use your own Ethereum token to any of this purpose:

  • To create an Initial Coins Offering (ICO)
  • Add your token (coin) to an exchange. So other investors will be able to participate.
  • Trade them among friends, just to see whose the richest nerd.
  • For Private Use
  • and other ideas applicable to you.
So what's the ingredients needed to cook this project?
  1. You need to have your own Ethereum Wallet using MyEtherWallet. This is where you going to transaction your cryptocurrency, Minereum (MNE) and Ethereum (ETH).
  2. As of writing this article. The current token creation service is 1 MNE. Yes, one, uno, isa.
  3. You need to buy MNE through Livecoin.net website. I deposited some ETH (not BTC to expensive to buy and nothing to offer except being the pioneer in cryptocurrency) to my Livecoin.net account so I can use it to buy MNE. In Livecoin dashboard, click on Balance, scroll down till you see the Ethereum Deposit/Withdraw button. Or use search for ETH.QUE.com.HOWTO.Create.Your.Own.Token.01.Deposit.Livecoin
  4. Click on Deposit, to get your ETH address. You should see something your address.QUE.com.HOWTO.Create.Your.Own.Token.01.Deposit.Livecoin2

OMG, this is what I was looking for ! Yihaaaa for yehey !

Guess there will come many sort of coins now. Already got some catchy names for some of them too :-)

thnx for posting !

Glad to help. I'll be happy to receive a coins from when you setup it up.

I checked alt coins it is up to 928. Not including the coins I just created.
I still need to study the next steps, to ICO or not to ICO, crowdfunding stuff, etc.

Oh my god! you are just too good and clever to do so! I can't believe that a altcoin can actually be created by only one person! As from my idea is it have to have a lot of different difficult calculation and algorithm..come on, you do get my respect on this. And than how will you handle or what will you do for your new coin?

The first try failed and I stop because it is too expensive to keep. The second try with the help of self-mining tool Minereum, done it in in less than an hour. I have a working coin running on Ethereum decentralized platform.

Aha..now, if ure a crypto newbie, will u buy ethereum or EOS??

I will write another article about it. Why wait for EOS to launch in a year that you don't know what's going on. Right now, you can do it.

I dont have ethereum. got a ticket for the fintech something in 2 wks. so i might learn something as i dont understand anything about it. if i know how to get some i will.

I've sent 100 QUE coins to your wallet. In FAQ's you need to add Custom Tokens to your MyEtherWallet to see the QUE coins balance.

I added the QUE Token to my Ethereum Wallet and I received the 100 QUE. Thank you very much.
QUE

This is epic, thank you for sharing.

While fun is... well fun. What are some other useful reasons for doing this?

I explained in my article some of possible use.

It is also help increase the value of the company if ever selling with additional assets (cryptocurrency).
Ideas is limitless, this is just one of many usage of tokens.

You may have a better idea.

How much is it worth?

The price to make it or the value of QUE coins?

Wow very interesting post! Did not know its possible to make your own coins that easy!
