How to Create Your Own Cryptocurrency

This tutorial was created to illustrate how easy it is to create your own cryptocurrency simply by forking another existing coin. Something that might make you think twice next time you buy into an IPO, pre-sale or pump and dump coin. Each step is covered by a four part video series created by whatthefluxable.
A basic understanding of command line tools and code editors are necessary to follow the steps in the tutorial.
