And one more thing! You were right about having issues compiling with QT being by design.  The plan is to remove it entirely in the short term in favor of a text-user interface wallet and/or having RogueSpace be the default with more lightweight, open source options.

When I first discovered this thread, "minimalist cryptocurrency" was what caught my eye. QT is a giant, unnecessary clusterfuck if you only need to make calls to the daemon to operate within the game. I'm still interested in this project if plans are to ditch the gui of the cryptocurrency, as what I see currently on Github is just LTC clone.



Thanks and I couldn't agree more.  You are correct in that currently, ROGUE is a just slightly modified clone of Litecoin and the one-pager admits this.  I wanted to focus on something that already worked and did less out of the gate first, while gradually cutting out the fat from even that. My enthusiasm is in where the project will be in just a few months. And where it is now is nothing to write off either.  The RogueSpace wallet is 6 years in the making and is set to do quite a bit with the downside being its centralized specs.  But there are solutions in mind (like secured balances etc) to help mitigate any issues that might arise because of this.  And of course, there will be nothing stopping people from running their own wallets. Things like social media linkups and SMS wallets are just a couple examples of what I have planned for future accessibility as well. Definitely keep up with it! 

Right now I'm working on outbound transactions done on @Space. More news coming soon.

Does ROGUE require any frills like multisig and segwit style addresses? If not, I'm pretty sure that getting a VERY stripped down version of litecoin working would be quite easy. (I'm already doing this with my Bitcoin client, as I only need legacy style addresses, etc.)
