The goal of this blog is to teach the basics of programming in order to be able to develop and deploy a cryptocurrency. There are 4 principles that one needs to take into consideration: First, a working blockchain must be created. Second, there must be an incentive for miners (but not the general population) to work on the blockchain. Third, tokens need to be generated and distributed as rewards so people can get paid for their work. And finally, the system needs a way to make sure that transactions are valid and legitimate. In order, these four principles will enable anyone with basic programming skills to successfully design and deploy their own cryptocurrency.
