this no longer works - for litecoin scrypt fork

this just doesn't work. you will waste your time and regret it. if you're reading the issues, you've already decided the generator doesn;t work. I tried to fork litecoin and i used this generator and it doesn't like the results being added to the chainparams file. also, the instructions are very vague and pretty much so poorly written that no one can understand what to do with the instructions. there are people on the internet who have failed so badly with this generator that they stopped trying to fork litecoin into an altcoin and went with another coin.

I have been able to get the chainparams.cpp to work with the GenesisHO script on Ubuntu 16 with new Genesis and Merkle hash created from the Script. This is the line that took the most time to configure when adding new x50 in the chainparams.cpp.

parser.add_option("-v", "--value", dest="value", default=5000000000, type="int", help="the value in coins for the output, full value (exp. in bitcoin 5000000000 - To get other coins value: Block Value * 100000000)")

You do realize this is not the only method to create the new genesis hash, right?
