A few problems with that, coming from changing things around at the start.

For instance:

make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/research/litecoin-0.15.1/src'
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/research/litecoin-0.15.1/src'
Making all in doc/man
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/research/litecoin-0.15.1/doc/man'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'learncoind.1', needed by 'all-am'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/research/litecoin-0.15.1/doc/man'
Makefile:747: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1


Followed the instructions at hackster.io for a later Litecoin than the Learncoin series on Youtube and Shakezula's guide, but all pointless if you can't get going.  The renaming doesn't catch everything in doc/man, so you have to rename manually etc.

There's actually a massive amount of work to be done in creating a new coin to try out new and interesting things, beginning with trying to prevent an instamine problem, e.g. follow the guide to MIDAS and see if you can hack it into Litecoin's code base, or try Dark Gravity whatever v3.  I would really like to try a slightly different PoW from Bitcoin and enable a few opcodes, add new ones, and try it all out on a testnet.  Just for a start, and change the coin supply and some other parameters.  Then there's mining especially with PoW changes, a pool, block explorer, wallets... if you want to try and go all the way some time.  I don't, but I'd like to hack up Bitcoin or Litecoin and try out a few things I personally find interesting.

Haven't had the time just yet but it's on my to-do list after getting the clone process a bit more automated, trying small things gradually, reading up on BIPs, understanding more of the code, reading good books like Mastering Bitcoin and Jimmy Song's new book on learning Bitcoin by writing code, based on his programmingblockchain.com firehose of info over a weekend for those attending his course.

Well, good luck fellow enthusiasts!
