CREATION OF BLOCKCHAIN-BASED CRYPTOCURRENCY

Cilj ovog završnog rada je egzaktno opisati izradu kriptovalute zasnovanu na tehnologiji blockchain. Za izradu kriptovalute korišten je izvorni kôd postojeće kriptovalute Litecoin te su kroz postupak izrade izmijenjeni određeni parametri u izvornom kôdu kao i dijelovi kôda kako bi se uspješno izradila nova kriptovaluta. U radu je opisan postupak izgradnje kriptovalute i opisane su tehnologije koje su pri tom korištene. Prilikom izgradnje korišten je operativni sustav Linux u virtualnom okruženju te su testirane sve funkcionalnosti neophodne za rad s kriptovalutom.
The goal of this paper is to describe the creation of blockchain-based cryptocurrency. The source code of existing cryptocurrency Litecoin was used to create a new cryptocurrency and through the process of creation, certain parameters in source code were changed as well as parts of the code. Used technology was described as well as the process of creating new cryptocurrency itself. To build the software, operating system Linux in virtual environment was used and all necessary software functionalities were tested.
