While Bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies are extremely volatile, their value seems to be going nowhere but up. In the world where digital coins are becoming more alluring, why not creating one yourself?
This is at least what Forkgen provides. It allows people to create a fork of Bitcoin, or create a new altcoin themselves.
Here, Forkgen aims to eliminate the barrier of entry to those that want to create their own fork on the Bitcoin blockchain.
Most of the things that happen on Forkgen are behind the scene. But still, those that want to create or fork one, need to have an “advanced knowledge in the Bitcoin Core software.”
For example, they need to know how to compile the source code, troubleshoot problems, and others. So this thing is certainly not for beginners.
"Inspired by successful forks like Bitcoin Gold, Bitcoin Diamond and BCash, and the visionary leadership of Craig Wright, Forkgen is the embodiment of Satoshi’s True Vision™ where if big blocks are good for scaling then many chains are even better."
But in its Terms of Service, the website clearly says that: "Forkgen is interactive performance art."
What this means, Forkgen is not taking any responsibilities, nor giving guarantees about its own code. So people need to use it with caution.
However, it will support people that have interest in creating a cryptocurrency by helping in the initial setup, and also in the event when its automated build fails after they've made a payment of 0.0100 BTC.
