This is almost exactly litecoin... why in gods name are you doing this?


Uh, well I didn't make it (terracoin). I'm taking it as learning experience. I don't think it's going to put Litecoin out of business if that's what you're asking. So far this is just a 'mini-bitcoin'.

I'm a novice programmer, and I learned quite a bit putting this together itself from Git. What I learn here I will apply to Litecoin and Bitcoin. 

that's cool. I'm just trying to understand why people keep making coins that don't introduce anything new (like ppcoin does, for example).

I put together an Instawallet based on Greedi and g2x3k's Litecoin Instawallet code.
It would be a pleasure to see people test it out!

edit: In light of the first comment asking what terracoin is: terracoin.org. It is best described as an identical copy of Bitcoin (with tiny, tiny, tweaks- it's faster).

Needless to say- it's super-beta. Don't put any coins on it you don't mind losing if something happens. I'm not a reasonably novice programmer so be forewarned. If something does happen- like it stops working, let me know at [email protected]. I won't be checking this thread 24/7. At the moment the Terracoind server crashes/hangs a lot, so if the page doesn't load- that's probably the problem.

Let me know what you think, it's a first step. Hopefully cooler things are to follow. For those who would hack it- there's nothing else of value on the server, and it's hosted at Amazon, so hopefully that will save you the trouble.

That said- donations are appreciated. I'm paying for this server with real money after all.
And if you can, don't forget to hit up the original developers of the LTC version on the GitHub Page to donate to them as well. I'm not the brains behind the operation. :-)
