Getting Bitcoin Core up and running on Debian Jessie from source is a bit laborious. Let me fix that for you:

thank you for the makefile. i adapted it for usage with other alternate cryptocurrencies. if you add a configuration option for altcoins (github url, coinname) and post it in the board for alternate cryptocurrencies many people will be very happy about it.

Ha, that's awesome!

> if you add a configuration option for altcoins

I'm not sure if it would work by just changing a few parameters. I actually spent a bit of time adapting it to Zcash, but it turns out that their zcutil/build.sh just worked (tm)!

If there's an altcoin you would like me to have a go with, point me at the repo and I'll give it a shot
