Hello, this is more like an experiment, but who knows where it can get. So many ASIC miners left behind, so we can pop out this new bitcoin clone that pays 1500 coins per block found.
I'm getting a cute ecosystem and branding ready if takes anywhere.

MERCANTE
MERCANTE is an open source platform for private blockchains, which offers a rich set of features including extensive configurability, rapid deployment, permissions management, native assets and data streams. Although it is designed to enable private blockchains, MERCANTE provides maximal compatibility with the bitcoin ecosystem, including the peer-to-peer protocol, transaction/block formats and Bitcoin Core APIs/runtime parameters.
MERCANTE is licensed under the GPLv3 open source license. We also offer commercial licenses for those wishing to integrate MERCANTE into a proprietary software solution.

System requirements
These compilation instructions have been tested on Ubuntu 14.04 x64 only.
C++ compilers are memory-hungry, so it is recommended to have at least 1 GB of memory available when compiling MERCANTE. With less memory, compilation may take much longer due to swapfile thrashing.

Linux Build Notes (on Ubuntu 14.04 x64)
Install dependencies
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool autotools-dev automake pkg-config libssl-dev libevent-dev bsdmainutils
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
sudo apt-get install git
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev
Compile MERCANTE for Ubuntu (64-bit)
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
Notes
This will build MERCANTEd, MERCANTE-cli and MERCANTE-util in the src directory.
The release is built with GCC after which strip MERCANTEd strings the debug symbols, which reduces the executable size by about 90%.
Windows Build Notes (on Ubuntu 14.04 x64)
Install dependencies
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool autotools-dev automake pkg-config libssl-dev libevent-dev bsdmainutils

Compile MERCANTE for Windows (64-bit)
./autogen.sh
cd depends
make HOST=x86_64-w64-mingw32 -j4
cd ..
./configure --prefix=`pwd`/depends/x86_64-w64-mingw32 --enable-cxx --disable-shared --enable-static --with-pic
make
Notes
This will build MERCANTEd.exe, MERCANTE-cli.exe and multitchain-util.exe in the src directory.
Mac Build Notes (on MacOS Sierra)
Install dependencies
Install XCode and XCode command line tools
Install git from git-scm
Install brew (follow instructions on brew.sh)
brew install autoconf automake berkeley-db4 libtool boost openssl pkg-config rename
Prepare for static linking
Apple does not support statically linked binaries as documented here, however, it is convenient for end-users to launch a binary without having to first install brew, a third-party system designed for developers.
To create a statically linked MERCANTE which only depends on default MacOS dylibs, the following steps are taken:
Hide the brew boost dylibs from the build system: rename -e 's/.dylib/.dylib.hidden/' /usr/local/opt/boost/lib/*.dylib
Hide the brew berekley-db dylibs from the build system: rename -e 's/.dylib/.dylib.hidden/' /usr/local/opt/berkeley-db@4/lib/*.dylib
Hide the brew openssl dylibs from the build system: rename -e 's/.dylib/.dylib.hidden/' /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/*.dylib
The default brew cookbook for berkeley-db and boost builds static libraries, but the default cookbook for openssl only builds dylibs.
Tell brew to build openssl static libraries: brew edit openssl In 'def configure_args' change 'shared' to 'no-shared' brew install openssl --force
Compile MERCANTE for Mac (64-bit)
export LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib
export CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-gui=no --with-libs=no --with-miniupnpc=no
make
Clean up
rename -e 's/.dylib.hidden/.dylib/' /usr/local/opt/berkeley-db\@4/lib/*.dylib.hidden
rename -e 's/.dylib.hidden/.dylib/' /usr/local/opt/boost/lib/*.dylib.hidden
rename -e 's/.dylib.hidden/.dylib/' /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/*.dylib.hidden
brew edit openssl
In 'def configure_args' change 'no-shared' to 'shared'
Notes
This will build MERCANTEd, MERCANTE-cli and MERCANTE-util in the src directory.
