Title: Good Free Programming Software for Litecoin Source Post by: AlexMerced on April 20, 2013, 04:10:25 AM I want to play with the Litecoin source and learn how to make an altcoin and want to know if there is any descent freeware for editing and compiling the code. I am using a PC laptop.

At the same time, if you have to ask that, you might want to seriously rethink what you're doing. Crypto is one of those things where even people with a lot of experience can make a secure cryptosystem totally insecure by doing what seems like an utterly insignificant change. For an example, check out the history of DES, and how the NSA suggested that some of the randomly chosen coefficients be changed without saying why; 15 years later it turns out that without making the change DES would have been vulnerable to a certain class of attack that just wasn't known about publically at the time.

But any software for windows? |
