I would like to clarify that I originally thought of SpeedCoin as a name for a coin.
There are others out there making claims that they came up with the idea for the name and they have released their own coin with SPD as the currency unit.

SpeedCoin.co [SPD]: Registered on March 31, 2014

On top of this, my colleague did have a Pre-ANN thread opened but this was deleted due to violation of TOS, though here is a mirror: https://bitcointa.lk/threads/scm-scs-speedcoin-placeholder.247395/
The idea back then was to separate the mining and savings part of SpeedCoin hence the two different currency units. This changed as development carried on and now we bought it together in to SPC.

My colleague and I do apologize for the confusion caused by the fact that we have a unique idea that unfortunately has clashed with another coin which was released AFTER I released my coin, AFTER I registered my domain name, AFTER my pre-announcement was deleted on bitcointalk. Hope this clears things up.

Great post Suresh. I now believe that this will clear up any confusion that may have occurred for the past few days, and can serve as a reference for future miners and buyers of the real Speedcoin. Wink

Thank you! Some more SPC coming your way!

FAO Linux Users!

These are compile instructions for SpeedCoin as it does not come with makefiles, you need to generate them yourself! These instructions should work on most distributions as long as you get the dependencies installed.

If you are using Ubuntu Linux you will need to install the following packages, run these commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install git
sudo apt-get -y install build-essential
sudo apt-get -y install libtool
sudo apt-get -y install autotools-dev
sudo apt-get -y install autoconf
sudo apt-get -y install libssl-dev
sudo apt-get -y install pkg-config
sudo apt-get -y libboost-all-dev
sudo apt-get -y install libdb4.8-dev
sudo apt-get -y install libdb4.8++-dev
sudo apt-get -y install libminiupnpc-dev
sudo apt-get -y install libqt4-dev
sudo apt-get -y install libprotobuf-dev
sudo apt-get -y install protobuf-compiler
sudo apt-get -y install libqrencode-dev

When you have finished this then run this command to download SpeedCoin source:
git clone https://github.com/SureshMatsui/SpeedCoin.git

When this is done, go in to SpeedCoin source directory and run these command if you are using 64-bit version of Ubuntu:
./autogen.sh
./configure
make

Or if you are using 32-bit version of Ubuntu run this command:
./buildclient_unix

This should compile correctly, I have done this many time on linux and it is no problem for me!
