An ERC20 token is based on a smart contract. I uploaded 3 of them (only basics): https://github.com/ndsvw/Ethereum-Web3-SmartContract-HelloWorld https://github.com/ndsvw/Ethereum-Web3-SmartContract-Escrow and https://github.com/ndsvw/Ethereum-Web3-SmartContract-Coinflipping

And this is the basic ERC20 code you need: https://gist.github.com/ndsvw/53ff3cd511498da2dead79b8cd0e693f Yes. You can set a name. It's the second parameter of MySpecialToken() in this file.

If you list it on an exchange and the community believes that it has a value: yes. Otherwise: no.

If you have only one Pc, you could create an ERC20-token (Ethereum based) and let the blockchain handle everything.
