Creating my own CryptoCurrency – QUE

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.
4. Click on Deposit, to get your ETH address. You should see something your address.
5. In MyEtherWallet account. Click on Send Ether & Token. Enter the address you get from the previous step and the amount to send. Click Generate Transaction to proceed your transfer.
6. Go back to Livecoin and check your deposit. You should be able to see your transfer balance.
7. Now let’s buy MNE coin. In Livecoin dashboard, click the BUY / SELL, select Trading. Use the Search field to find “MNE”. Select MNE/ETH.
8. You should be able to see BUY MNE FOR ETH. Enter the amount of MNE you want to buy. When ready, click BUY MNE. You will be able to see the transaction in progress.
9. Now click on BALANCE, search MNE to verify your coins.
10. Click the Withdraw button so you can transfer this to you MyEtherWallet. Enter the amount of MNE and Enter your Ethereum Wallet Address. 
11. Click Send a Payment, your MNEs will be in your wallet shortly.
12. Verification. Check your email for verification code and enter your PIN-code.
13. If a payment (transfer) is successful. You will see something like this.
14. Go check your MyEtherWallet. You should received your MNE coin in your wallet.
15. If you don’t see MNE token in your MyEtherWallet. You need to add MNE it, click the Add Custom Token. In Address field enter MNE addree.Now we can Generate our own Token.
