Burstcoin CG-Wallet

]

The world's first HDD-mined cryptocurrency using an energy efficient and fair Proof-of-Capacity (PoC) consensus algorithm.

This wallet version is developed and maintained by the PoC consortium (PoCC) and supports several database backends:

MariaDB (recommended, but complex installation)
Firebird (2nd best choice)
H2 (for compatibility/migration purposes)

Software Installation

Linux (Debian, Ubuntu)

Please take a look at http://package.cryptoguru.org/ where you can find the burstcoincg package. This will take care of the MariaDB installation for you.

Windows

If you are not familiar with MariaDB we recommend you to go for Firebird, in which case the following data needs to be added to conf/brs.properties

brs.dbUrl=jdbc:firebirdsql:embedded:burst.firebird.db
brs.dbUsername=sysdba
brs.dbPassword=

After that you can simply run burst.cmd and that should start your wallet.

You can get all additional commands available by running burst.cmd help

Unix-like systems

Please install Java 8 (JRE 1.8) manually and run it by using burst.sh You can get further information calling burst.sh help

Please note: Firebird (embedded) needs some more work on macOS at the moment. All other supported databases should work as expected.

Configure and Initialize MariaDB

The Debian and Ubuntu packages provide an automatic configuration of your local mariadb server. If you can't use the packages, you have to initialize your database with these statements:

echo "CREATE DATABASE burstwallet; 
      CREATE USER 'burstwallet'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';
      GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON burstwallet.* TO 'burstwallet'@'localhost';" | mysql -uroot
mysql -uroot burstwallet < init-mysql.sql

Configure your Wallet

Now you need to add the following stuff to your conf/brs.properties:

brs.dbUrl=jdbc:mariadb://localhost:3306/burstwallet
brs.dbUsername=burstwallet
brs.dbPassword=yourpassword

Credits

Numerous people have contributed to make this software what it is today. The Nxt-developers before Burst was forked off from the Nxt code base, the initial - yet anonymous - creator of burstcoin who did carve out PoS and instantiate PoC and also many small contributors who helped out with small fixes, typos, translations etc. In case we forgot to mention someone, please do not hesitate to bring this to our attention. Past contributions that have been removed from the code base are not mentioned, however. In alphabetical order:

@ac0v

initial replacement of the H2 wallet against mariaDB in the CG-lineage of the wallet
introduction of FirebirdDB to the list of supported DB backends, bugfixing, debugging
streamlining helper scripts (invocation, compilation)
work on macOS port, testing and release management

@BraindeadOne

providing a DB abstraction layer to allow for multiple DB backends
implementing a load/dump mechanism for faster sync (called Quicksync)
added SQL metrics to the code to be able to spot DB performance problems
CPU core limit patch, so the wallet can be assigned only part of your resources

@chrulri improved wallet behavior when running under https

@daWallet did many bugfixes and stabilization improvements

@dcct

support for parallel blockchain downloads
various bugfixes and lib updates

@de-luxe took care of the releases between 1.2.5 and 1.2.9

@fusecavator
