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
