Back the Code against similar Coins by first search and replacing all the naming of the code you want to back it against. Commit the first instance of ADT2 then delete the code and replace it with the new edited code to see the changes. Biggest thing ADT2 needs is time locks to prevent Staking before Sync, look through old commits of HBN for before they changed from int64 to int64_t and run with that. Make sure to take out all the hardforks, checkpoints and Stake modifiers, if you find the changes between certain files are too big (likely to see with main.cpp and wallet.cpp) then split up the changes between multiple commits.

You will want to slim down the changes as well, you only need to really use the src folder and disregard the locale folder since it only contains translations.

Build the Wallet in Linux to test your changes, much easier and takes less time than building in Windows but you can go through and do the Windows setup because you will need it anyways.
