it looks like the dev of Aerocoin really tried to deter people from cloning his coin... Which is only fuelling my desire to successfully clone it LOL. I'm even having trouble connecting two nodes, which i think has to do with the Aero code, as i was able to do it with litecoin. If you have time, can you take a look at the aero code, and see if anything stands out as unusual?  

edit: I was using linux for both machines, tried using a mac in place of one of them.. couldn't even compile on .osx it spit out this error
^{make: *** No rule to make target `obj/fugue.o', needed by `XenoxCoind'.  Stop.}  

edit:got two nodes running on the network now, still can't compile on mac tho..
