WIP: A C++ MimbleWimble/Grin Node For Windows

A Windows-Compatible C++ Implementation of the Grin(MimbleWimble) Protocol

Project Status

Node

The node has been released on 64-bit Windows for beta-testing! Since the wallet is not yet released, running Grin++ should not put any of your grins at risk. However, since it is only a beta release, it is not yet recommended for production environments. Additionally, expect that future releases could have backward-incompatible changes that may require deleting chain data and re-syncing.

Wallet - In Progress

The wallet is currently in progress, but is not expected to be ready for beta testing until mid-March.

Build Instructions

Although CMake was chosen for future portability, the focus so far has been on Windows-only. Visual Studio 2017 with "Visual C++ Tools for CMake" is required to build.

Prerequisites

• A recent version of CMake
• Visual Studio 2017 64-bit with C++ 2017 Support
• OPTIONAL: Visual C++ Tools for CMake

With Visual C++ Tools for CMake

1. Clone https://github.com/GrinPlusPlus/GrinPlusPlus.git to location of your choice
2. Open Visual Studio 2017
3. File>Open>CMake...
4. Choose CMakeLists.txt from GrinPlusPlus folder
5. Choose x64-Debug or x64-Release from build configurations drop-down
6. Generate CMake Cache and Build All from the CMake menu

Replace <CONFIG> with Debug or Release Command Line:

1. Open "Developer Command Prompt for Visual Studio 2017"
2. cd C:/Choose/A/Path
3. git clone https://github.com/GrinPlusPlus/GrinPlusPlus.git
4. cd GrinPlusPlus
5. mkdir build & cd build
6. cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" ..
7. cmake --build . --config <CONFIG>

Once your code is built, you can just open Server.exe from your bin folder.
