ppcd (beta) for peercoin

This version is strictly beta quality.

Expect it to break without notice.

Known issues / bugs

  • Database format for storing and retrieving block meta is not final
  • Script verification fails on 4 blocks on mainnet,
    which means script verification has been disabled for those blocks currently
    • check chaincfg/params.go#316 and blockchain/validate.go#1235 for more details
  • Protocol missmatch(es) compared to upstream
    Not all protocol changes have been ported completely just yet
    • V12 isn't being checked for when disconnecting blocks
  • RPC server is missing peercoin specific updates
  • No support for sendcmpct or wtxidrelay

Linux/BSD/MacOSX/POSIX - Build from Source

  • Install Go according to the installation instructions here: http://golang.org/doc/install

  • Ensure Go was installed properly and is a supported version:

$ go version
$ go env GOROOT GOPATH

NOTE: The GOROOT and GOPATH above must not be the same path. It is recommended that GOPATH is set to a directory in your home directory such as ~/goprojects to avoid write permission issues. It is also recommended to add $GOPATH/bin to your PATH at this point.

  • To simply build the binary, without installing it, the following command should suffice:
$ git clone https://github.com/peercoin/ppcd && cd ppcd
$ go build
# run it using ./ppcd
  • Run the following commands to obtain ppcd, all dependencies, and install it:
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/peercoin/ppcd
$ GO111MODULE=on go install -v . ./cmd/...
  • ppcd (and utilities) will now be installed in $GOPATH/bin. If you did not already add the bin directory to your system path during Go installation, we recommend you do so now.

Updating

Linux/BSD/MacOSX/POSIX - Build from Source

  • Run the following commands to update ppcd, all dependencies, and install it:
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/peercoin/ppcd
$ git pull
$ GO111MODULE=on go install -v . ./cmd/...

Getting Started

ppcd has several configuration options available to tweak how it runs, but all of the basic operations described in the intro section work with zero configuration.
