What is Kiirocoin?

Kiirocoin is a privacy focused cryptocurrency that utilizes zero-knowledge proofs which allows users to destroy coins and then redeem them later for brand new ones with no transaction history.

Kiirocoin also utilises Dandelion++ to obscure the originating IP of transactions without relying on any external services such as Tor/i2P.

Kiirocoin uses KiiroPoW (a ProgPoW variant) as its Proof-of-Work GPU focused algorithm which is FPGA/ASIC resistant.

Linux Build Instructions and Notes

Kiirocoin contains build scripts for its dependencies to ensure all component versions are compatible. For additional options such as cross compilation, read the depends instructions

Alternatively, you can build dependencies manually. See the full unix build instructions.

Bootstrappable builds can be achieved with Guix.

Development Dependencies (compiler and build tools)

• Debian/Ubuntu/Mint (minimum Ubuntu 18.04):

  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install git curl python3 build-essential libtool automake pkg-config cmake
  # Also needed for GUI wallet only:
  sudo apt-get install qttools5-dev qttools5-dev-tools libxcb-xkb-dev bison
  

• Redhat/Fedora:

  sudo dnf update
  sudo dnf install bzip2 perl-lib perl-FindBin gcc-c++ libtool make autoconf automake cmake patch which
  # Also needed for GUI wallet only:
  sudo dnf install qt5-qttools-devel qt5-qtbase-devel xz bison
  sudo ln /usr/bin/bison /usr/bin/yacc
  

• Arch:

  sudo pacman -Sy
  sudo pacman -S git base-devel python cmake
  

Build Kiirocoin

1. Download the source:

   git clone https://github.com/Kiirocoin/kiiro
   cd kiiro
   

2. Build dependencies and kiirocoin:

   Headless (command-line only for servers etc.):

   cd depends
   NO_QT=true make -j`nproc`
   cd ..
   ./autogen.sh
   ./configure --prefix=`pwd`/depends/`depends/config.guess` --without-gui
   make -j`nproc`
   

   Or with GUI wallet as well:

   cd depends
   make -j`nproc`
   cd ..
   ./autogen.sh
   ./configure --prefix=`pwd`/depends/`depends/config.guess`
   make -j`nproc`
   

3. (optional) It is recommended to build and run the unit tests:

   ./configure --prefix=`pwd`/depends/`depends/config.guess` --enable-tests
   make check
