It's very rare that I stumble upon a project with such a mix of tech and sarcasm like the Forkgen. Launched under the slogan "Fork it till you make it", this app - which is backed by some serious tech savviness AFAIK - will allow you to build your own Bitcoin fork.
After you went to the app page, just give your token a name, pick a fork block, set up a few parameters and, if you really want it to be successful, do a few incantations as well, then click Submit. This will generate the binaries (wallet and daemon) and you will also receive the source code of your newly forked Bitcoin token. All this for a meager 0.01 BTC, or $145 at the current price of Bitcoin.
The real Bitcoin, that is.
Also, if you do spend time on that site, make sure you check out the FAQ. There are some excellent gems in there, like this one:
Exchanges should be obligated to split and distribute all arbitrary fork coins despite the systems expense and security risk. Who are they to decide what makes one fork more legitimate than any other?
I laughed. :)
