Put the code on github please. +100 points if you properly fork. Can do a build for Mac OS X but want to be able to create a PR for changes.
I have a feeling that your request is likely to fall on stony ground, so to speak. I'm sending you 1 BOON, out of sympathy
https://github.com/gjhiggins/RepublicCoin
Full fork of Bitcoin 0.8.6, branding and parameters separated out as per obvious.
It compiles+runs on ubuntu trusty, reads the db, syncs to node 54.225.242.168. That's as far as I've taken it. Can you pick it up from there?
Cheers
Graham
