VanCoin

A cryptocurrency created for learning and experimental purposes < based on Litecoin -> BarCoin -> VanCoin> -SCRYPT -42 Vancoin per block

TUTORIAL on how to create your own coin based on VanCoin coming soon

vancoin.conf file should be put into your ~/.vancoin directory (on linux) if you run VanCoin/src/vancoind from terminal it will create the directory for you, then it will fail run VanCoin/src/vancoind stop to be sure that it stops then put vancoin.conf into the ~/.vancoin directory (on linux) run src/vancoind or vancoin-qt again it should find and connect to my original node and sync with yours

======================================================================== BUILD: vancoin-qt is built for linux src/bitcoind also built for linux

there are makefiles in the src folder for other systems

if you want to build (again) for linux: sudo make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=-

======================================================================== OPTIONAL: I would recommend setting up a virtual machine on your system to experiment with VanCoin

I use VirtualBox for a VM with Ubuntu 14.04

======================================================================== DEPENDENCIES:

once you have ubuntu installed, here are dependencies:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool autotools-dev automake pkg- config libssl-dev libevent-dev bsdmainutils

sudo apt-get install libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost- chrono-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-test-dev libboost- thread-dev

sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev

apt-get install libqt5gui5 libqt5core5a libqt5dbus5 qttools5-dev qttools5-dev-tools libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler

sudo apt-get install git

sudo apt-get update

OPTIONAL

DESKTOP: sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends lubuntu-desktop on your VM go to 'Devices' -> 'Insert Guest Additions CD image' ssh to your VM, run sudo /media//VboxLinuxAdditions.run is the account your created on the VM

there will me more on it in the upcoming tutorial
