What is Tremendouscoin?

Tremendouscoin will start as an anti-Trump cryptocurrency/altcoin. The plan is to mostly give it away, in small amounts like 1 coin to any person claiming to be anti-Trump, and in much larger rewards, like 1,000+ coins, (probably unsolicited), to anti-Trump persons who have recently done notable (but legal) things to help stymie, enrage, thwart, obstruct etc. Trump. It may eventually gain value, but who knows?

What's with the name?

According to yourdictionary.com, "Tremendous" is Trump's 17th most (over)used word.

By using the name Tremendouscoin rather than actually incorporating the so-called 45th U.S. President's name, Tremendouscoin is also poised to actually well outlive the hopefully brief Trump era, as a general left-leaning, or at least non-right-leaning, coin.

Does it suck because it's not technically innovative yet?

Technically, Tremendouscoin, at least early versions, may be very NON-innovative -- a self-avowed "shitcoin", depending on how you define shitcoin...

However, this coin may serve as an example of a technically un-innovative, but socially or politically relevant, cryptocurrency gaining success.

Useful as a clear-cut Litecoin Clone Template? (and also Safe-ish and Trustworthy-ish)

Tremendouscoin will use a more recent codebase (our first version being based on Litecoin 0.14) than many shitcoins (many use Litecoin 0.8 etc).

Its modification from the original Litecoin codebase will also strive to be extremely well-documented.

For example we will fork right from litecoin-project/litecoin so that anyone can perform easy comparisons with litecoin right on github. This may lead to a modicum of trust/safety in the compiled code since anyone will be able to follow clearly how the code was modified from a well-known coin. It may also lead to being a well-known Litecoin forking example for others working on creating Litecoin forks to follow (and contribute to!)

Reality check

However, This not quite a real coin at the moment. The blockchain may or may not be re-started several times before we say "WE'LL DO IT LIVE! FUCK IT!"

Feel free to keep track of this project or to offer to help!

Version 0.14 Motto

"Tremendouscoin ... It's already worth more than Trump's word!"

Technical instructions

Want to compile from source, etc.?

In general, follow the patterns in the Litecoin docs which have been modified as far as syntax but not substance to be Tremendouscoin-specific.

However in addition we will have a few substantially specific Tremendouscoin-specific docs.
