It costs some Bitcoins, but you can create a currency and you can distribute it, no mining needed. And you can set it to be traded against Compuceeds, which will help boost the Compuceed economy.
You just set the number of coins, and a few different rules for the coin. Then you could, for example, award people coins for every post they have on the Compumatrix forum, or award people coins for different tasks or arbitrary things.
The more people who are trading things for Compuceeds the more Compucceds will be worth, and if you create your own currency that you can get people to start buying for 1 cent each, or 10 cents each, or $1 each, or $5 each, or whatever price you can get people to buy it for, then you will have a coin that you have the power to issue that you and other people can then use to trade against Compuceeds. And the more people that do this, the more vibrant the Compuceeds economy will be and we will all have more ways to earn.
And this page explains one more way to make a Cryptocurrency

Here is a thread on Bitcoin talk that explains how to make hour own full blown currency, not attached to anything. It costs nothing, you just have to have at least 2 computers with the wallet open at all times (keeping the blockchain going) and the coin will work.

This is for people that really understand programming

Once you make a coin you go in the Altcoin section and make a post with a title that starts with [ANN], which means announcement. Then the name of your coin, like [BTC] Bitcoin, [ETH] is Ethereum, etc. People will just mine your coin for fun if you post it there.
If anyone wants to mine Cryptocurrency, there are coins called CryptoNight coins. And the point is that they are like Kryptonite to the strong expensive mining machines, those machines don't work on these coins. So if you are mining with just a computer (CPU) you can actually get a good number of coins. And if you want to mine more, you have to set up more computers.
And since a lot of people here are aquianted with using the World Community Grid, this would probably be the best way for everyone here to learn how to mine.
Here is the website
minergate.com/
Just scroll down on that page and it will have a thing you can download, and once you download it and open it it will automatically be on the "Smart Mining" page, which means it will just automatically mine whatever coin it deems most profitable to you. But if you want you can switch to the regular "Mining" tab at the top and select whatever coin you want to mine. And there will be a drop down selection with the number 1 or 2, and you can switch that to 2, 3 or 4 to use more of the cores in your computer for mining and mine faster.
If you own servers you can use the cores in those servers for mining as well, which will get you even more coins.
