README.md

Danicoin

This is Danicoin, the best cryptocurrency out there.

Downloads

Binaries are available only for 64-bit Linux. You can find those in the Downloads Area.

If you are using a different operating system or architecture or can't get the provided binaries to work, please try building Danicoin yourself.

Building

To build Danicoin on an Ubuntu machine, you first need to install some dependencies:

sudo apt install git build-essential cmake lib{boost-all,ssl}-dev pkg-config

You can then fetch the code and compile it like this:

git clone https://kumig.it/kumitterer/danicoin.git
cd danicoin
make

The binaries (you will primarily want to use danicoind and daniwallet) will be placed into the "build/release/src" subdirectory of the danicoin source directory. You may want to move them to /usr/bin like this:

sudo install build/release/src/dani{coind,wallet} /usr/bin

If you are trying to build Danicoin on anything else than a 64-bit Ubuntu machine, your mileage may vary. Feel free to create an issue asking for help if you are stuck.

Usage

danicoind

Danicoin's core component is the daemon, danicoind. It is responsible for keeping your copy of the blockchain in sync. Assuming you have installed it to /usr/bin as seen above, you can just fire it up like this:

danicoind

Please note that running it for the first time might take a while as the entire blockchain will have to be downloaded.

danicoind should not require any configuration as such. By default, it will store its data, including a full copy of the blockchain, in the ".danicoin" subdirectory of your user directory.

If you need to change any settings, you may pass them as arguments to danicoind or write them to a configuration file. If a "danicoin.conf" file exists in the data directory (~/.danicoin), its settings will be used by default.

You can find the arguments accepted by danicoind by executing:

danicoind --help

A sample configuration file can be found in this repository.

daniwallet

The easiest way to create and manage Danicoin wallets is using daniwallet. To create your first wallet, named "mywallet" in this example, execute:

daniwallet --generate-new-wallet mywallet

daniwallet will then ask you for a password and generate your new wallet. Two files will be stored in your current working directory - mywallet.wallet and mywallet.address. mywallet.wallet contains the actual wallet, mywallet.address contains the wallet address you use to receive payments.

In order to use daniwallet with an existing wallet, navigate to the directory containing your mywallet.wallet, then execute:

daniwallet --wallet-file mywallet

Once daniwallet is running, you can, for instance, type in "balance" and press Enter to see your current balance. To transfer money to another wallet, you may use the following command (replacing "recipient_address" with the actual address of the receiving wallet and "amount" with the amount of Danicoin to send):

transfer 3 recipient_address amount

You can find out about the other commands using "help".
