Hello,

Forknote now uses Bytecoin 1.0.5 as core.
This version also supports premine. I will make a tutorial how to create a coin with premine in the following days.

Windows:  https://github.com/forknote/forknote/releases/download/1.0.5/forknote-windows.zip
Linux:    https://github.com/forknote/forknote/releases/download/1.0.5/forknote-linux.tar.gz
Mac:      https://github.com/forknote/forknote/releases/download/1.0.5/forknote-mac.zip

How to create a coin with premine:
http://forknote.net/learn.html#cryptocurrency_with_premined_coins

It looks like a lot of steps, but the process should be fast, because it does not require compile time.
Any feedback or ideas will be appreciated.
Enjoy.

I now see the code is only good for the old generation of cryptonotefoundation/cryptonote based currencies. Your coin is unsupported unfortunately. If there is more interest I will add support for it in the future.

Hello,
What is the error?
Here is the exact command we use to install the dependencies on Ubuntu 14.04:

[Nanashi74]

All dependencies are OK, heres the error msg: http://pastebin.com/mLc3fWUv

Thanks, hope we can resurrect QCN with your project.

There was a problem indeed which is now fixed. "git pull" and it should work fine.
We have a configuration for QCN already. The real problem is to convince and coordinate all the existing pools and users to move to Forknote, since this will require a hardfork.
