I want to create a cryptocurrency for my high school as a joke for like 20 of my friends and I. What would be the easiest way they can do it? Also be able to mine it?
IMO.. your best bet would be to go the route of SLP token, which you could do right here on memo... no mining, but you would have an inexpensive way to create a token for your fun!
You could mint the tokens and transfer to an alternate address.. then send tokens to people as they are earned.. manually could be sent, or sent to holders via a dividend/airdrop tool?
