- Make one
- Created, on Pepecoin test
- Tokens are coins anyone can make on top of a chain: points for a game, tickets, or a community's own coin.
- The Tokens tab lists every token on the chain, newest first, and lets you send the ones you hold, just like coins.
- To make one, give it a name. The name can't be changed afterwards.
- Fixed means the whole supply is made now and can never grow. Here: 1,000 Demo Bucks, in whole units or with decimals.
- The review says how many bytes go onto the chain, the fee, and your change. It's worked out in your browser.
- This is Pepecoin test, so the fee is test coins. On a real chain it would be real coins.
- Created: one transaction, signed in your browser. The new token is on the chain for as long as the chain exists.
- A block later it's in the list: Demo Bucks, a supply of 1,000, with @arcadedemo as its issuer. It's in their wallet too.
