+# MiniMeToken
+
+A MiniMeToken is a standard ERC20 token with some extra functionality:
+
+### The token is clonable
+
+Any body can create a new token with an initial distribution of cloned tokens identical to the original token. At some specific block.
+
+To create a child token, the next function is defined:
+
+     function createChildToken(
+            string _childTokenName,
+            uint8 _childDecimalUnits,
+            string _childTokenSymbol
+            uint _snapshotBlock,            // if block is not already mined, it will teke the current block
+            bool _isConstant
+        ) returns(address)
+
+Once the child token is created, it acts as a completely independent token.
+
+### Balances history is registered and available
+
+The contract maintains a history of all the distribution changes of the token. Two calls are introduced to know the totalSupply and the balance of any address at any block in the past.
+
+    function totalSupplyAt(uint _blockNumber) constant returns(uint)
+
+    function balanceOfAt(address _holder, uint _blockNumber) constant returns (uint)
+
+### Optional token owner
+
+The owner of the contract can generate/destroy/transfer tokens at its own discretion. Of course, the owner can be a regular account, another contract that rules the contract or just the address 0x0 if this functionality is not wanted.
+
+As an example, a Token Creation contract can be the owner of the Token Contract and at the end of the token creation period, the ownership can be transfered to the 0x0 address.
+
+To create and destroy tokens, this two functions are introduced:
+
+    function generateTokens(address _holder, uint _value) onlyOwner
+
+    function destroyTokens(address _holder, uint _value) onlyOwner
+
+### Owner of the token can freeze the transfers.
+
+Tokens can be created with the constant flag set on, and the owner can also toggle this flag. When a token is flagged with this flag, no transfers, generations and destroys are allowed.
+
+    function setConstant(bool _isConstant) onlyOwner
+
+
+## Applications
+
+Some of the applications that child tokens can be used for are:
+
+1. a ballot that is burned when you vote.
+2. a discount ticked that is redeemed when you use it.
+3. a token of a "spinoff" DAO.
+4. a token that can be used to give explicit support to an action or a campaign.
+5. lots of other applications.
+
+And all that maintaining always the original token.
