Build Status

master	develop	next_hardfork

Code is Documentation

Rather than attempt to describe the rules of the blockchain, it is up to each individual to inspect the code to understand the consensus rules.

Build Instructions

These instructions apply on Fedora 24. For other distributions, make sure you have installed Boost 1.58-1.63 first. You also have instructions to build test net here. For building, you need at least 4 GB of memory available.

We are testing using Fedora 25, x64

sudo dnf clean metadata
sudo dnf install automake autoconf libtool make cmake gcc flex bison doxygen gettext-devel git readline-devel openssl-devel libcurl-devel ncurses-devel boost-devel boost-static gcc-c++
mkdir -p ~/dev/SounDAC
cd ~/dev/SounDAC
git clone https://github.com/soundac/SounDAC-Source.git
cd ~/dev/SounDAC/SounDAC-Source
git submodule update --init --recursive
mkdir -p ~/dev/SounDAC/SounDAC-build
cd ../SounDAC-build
#optionally specify Boost root directory in case it is not installed on standard paths with -DBOOST_ROOT=/location/

#For production build
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ~/dev/SounDAC/SounDAC-Source/
#For test net build
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DBUILD_MUSE_TEST=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ~/dev/SounDAC/SounDAC-Source/

#optionally, install the binaries
cmake --build . --target all -- -j 3

Now the binaries shall be in directory ~/dev/SounDAC/SounDAC-build/programs/

Seed Nodes

138.197.68.175:33333 (production)
192.34.60.157:29092  (for testnet)

How to Start

First, start SounDAC daemon: (Witness will need additional config)

cd ~/dev/SounDAC/SounDAC-build
#For production: (genesis is embedded)
./programs/mused/mused --rpc-endpoint=0.0.0.0:8090

#For testnet
./programs/mused/mused -s 192.34.60.157:29092 --rpc-endpoint=0.0.0.0:8090 --genesis-json ~/dev/SounDAC/SounDAC-Source/genesis-test.json

The daemon is ready. The JSON-RPC is listening on localhost on port 8090

You may want to start it using screen to make server available after terminal is closed. Install screen with dnf install screen Start a new screen with command screen Then run ./mused with the right parameters You can reconnect to the screen later using screen -r

For witness setup

Here are the steps to setup a witness for the testnet Ensure you have opened ports in your firewall.

1- Go to http://138.197.98.184:3000/ws/accounts to generate your keys.
Use generate keys, write stuff, as long as it is random), just to generate a pair.
2- Note private and public owner keys generated
3- Prepare your test net build using instruction above
4- Launch node again:
cd %muse build folder%/mused/
./mused
5- Edit config: from current dir, witness_node_data_dir/config.ini
6- Set value of witness your account, and private-key to the private owner wif generated, then save file
You may also want to set enable-stale-production to true
7- Launch node again:
./mused --rpc-endpoint=127.0.0.1:8090 
8- muse is running... in another session, go to %muse build folder%/cli_wallet
9- Run cli_wallet:
./cli_wallet
10- set_password $your_wallet_pass...%
11- unlock "pass..."
12- import_key %owner priv key%
Use http://138.197.98.184:3000/ws/accounts to reobtain keys using your password if you don't have them
13- import key %active priv key%
Use http://138.197.98.184:3000/ws/accounts to reobtain keys using your password if you don't have them
14- use list_my_accounts, see if you see your account
15- get some vesting to transact...
16- announce yourself as a witness, change placeholders: update_witness "WitnessAccountName" "http://%???%" %witness_pub_key% {} true
17- get votes... use wallet to vote, ask someone to vote
18- at this point, you have votes, your node may be selected as an active witness and start produce blocks
