Empowering Privacy, Security, and Untraceability in Digital Currency
Welcome to Morelo Network, a revolutionary digital currency platform designed to prioritize privacy, security, and untraceability. With Morelo, users can take control of their finances in a decentralized ecosystem while ensuring their transactions remain confidential.
Morelo employs a robust cryptographic system to safeguard user transactions from prying eyes. By utilizing this technology, all financial activities, including purchases and transfers, remain private by default, protecting sensitive information from unauthorized access.
The security of Morelo transactions is fortified by a distributed peer-to-peer consensus network. Each wallet is equipped with a 25-word mnemonic seed for added security, while wallet files are encrypted with a passphrase, ensuring assets remain safe even in the event of theft.
Through innovative ring signatures, Morelo ensures transactions are untraceable and introduces an element of ambiguity, preventing them from being linked back to individual users or computers. This pioneering approach to anonymity ensures user privacy is maintained at all times.
We welcome contributions from the community to enhance the Morelo Network. Whether it's a small fix or a significant code change, individuals are encouraged to submit their contributions via pull requests to the master branch. Collaboration and discussion are vital to shaping the platform and ensuring it remains at the forefront of privacy-centric digital currency.

Feel free to explore and engage with the Morelo community through these channels and platforms! 🚀
As a network, Morelo supports complete, cryptographically secured connections at all levels. This includes, but is not limited to Morelo Network Nodes (Full nodes), Remote Nodes and all wallets - CLI and GUI for desktop, and Android and iOS [ iOS is under development].
Morelo Network will be consistently implementing the highest security protocols to achieve the greatest privacy for all transactions, as well as all communications made over the Morelo Network.
The use of SSL connections means that there will not be any possibility to use the Morelo Network with unsecured or tampered connections (daemons), and that your privacy will remain a feature built in a protocol level.

Below is an example how to generate SSL Keys with openssl
$ openssl genrsa -out /tmp/KEY 4096
$ openssl req -new -key /tmp/KEY -out /tmp/REQ
$ openssl x509 -req -days 999999 -sha256 -in /tmp/REQ -signkey /tmp/KEY -out /tmp/CERT -
Above example will generate 4096bit SSL Cert at /tmp (which can be changed)*
That build is from the master branch, which is used for active development and can be either unstable or incompatible with release software. Please compile release branches.
In order to sucessfull compile Morelo You need boost 1.73.0 version and cmake version 3.17.3 or higher.
wget https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/releases/download/v3.17.3/cmake-3.17.3.tar.gz
tar -xvf cmake-3.17.3.tar.gz
cd cmake-3.17.3
./bootstrap
make
sudo make install
wget https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/1.73.0/source/boost_1_73_0.tar.gz
tar -xvf boost_1_73_0.tar.gz
cd boost_1_73_0
./bootstrap.sh
./b2
sudo ./b2 install
sudo ./b2 headers
Morelo build been tested on Ubuntu Server 20.04 Focal Fosa with above releases as long with gcc9.3
The following table summarizes the tools and libraries required to build. A
few of the libraries are also included in this repository (marked as
"Vendored"). By default, the build uses the library installed on the system,
and ignores the vendored sources. However, if no library is found installed on
the system, then the vendored source will be built and used. The vendored
sources are also used for statically-linked builds because distribution
packages often include only shared library binaries (.so) but not static
library archives (.a).

[1] On Debian/Ubuntu libgtest-dev only includes sources and headers. You must
build the library binary manually. This can be done with the following command:
$ sudo apt-get install libgtest-dev && cd /usr/src/gtest && sudo cmake . && sudo make && sudo mv libg* /usr/lib/
Debian / Ubuntu one liner for all dependencies (Excluding boost and cmake)
$ sudo apt update && sudo apt install --yes git build-essential curl pkg-config libssl-dev libsodium-dev libunwind-dev liblzma-dev libreadline-dev libldns-dev libexpat1-dev doxygen graphviz libudev-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libhidapi-dev xsltproc gperf autoconf automake libtool-bin
Install all dependencies at once on OSX:
$ brew update && brew bundle --file=contrib/apple/brew
Clone recursively to pull-in needed submodule(s):
$ git clone https://github.com/morelo/morelo
If you already have a repo cloned, initialize and update:
$ cd morelo && git checkout release-v0.6.1
$ git submodule init && git submodule update
Morelo uses the CMake build system and a top-level Makefile that invokes cmake commands as needed.
-
Install the dependencies
-
Change to the root of the source code directory and build:
$ cd morelo && make releaseOptional: If your machine has several cores and enough memory, enable parallel build by running
make -j<number of threads>instead ofmake. For this to be worthwhile, the machine should have one core and about 2GB of RAM available per thread. -
The resulting executables can be found in
build/release/bin -
Add
PATH="$PATH:$HOME/morelo/build/release/bin"to.profile -
Run Morelo with
morelod --detach -
Optional: build and run the test suite to verify the binaries:
$ make release-testNOTE:
core_teststest may take a few hours to complete. -
Optional: to build binaries suitable for debugging:
$ make debug -
Optional: to build statically-linked binaries:
$ make release-static
Dependencies need to be built with -fPIC. Static libraries usually aren't, so you may have to build them yourself with -fPIC. Refer to their documentation for how to build them.
-
Optional: build documentation in
doc/html(omitHAVE_DOT=YESifgraphvizis not installed):HAVE_DOT=YES doxygen Doxyfile
Tested on a Raspberry Pi Zero with a clean install of minimal Raspbian Stretch (2017-09-07 or later) from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/. If you are using Raspian Jessie, please see note in the following section.
-
$ apt-get update && apt-get upgradeto install all of the latest software -
Install the dependencies for Morelo from the 'Debian' column in the table above.
-
Increase the system swap size:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/dphys-swapfile stop$ sudo nano /etc/dphys-swapfile$ CONF_SWAPSIZE=1024$sudo /etc/init.d/dphys-swapfile start -
Clone morelo and checkout most recent release version:
$ git clone https://github.com/morelo/morelo.git$ cd morelo -
Build:
$ make release -
Wait 4-6 hours
-
The resulting executables can be found in
build/release/bin -
Add
PATH="$PATH:$HOME/morelo/build/release/bin"to.profile -
Run Morelo with
morelod --detach -
You may wish to reduce the size of the swap file after the build has finished, and delete the boost directory from your home directory
If you are using the older Raspbian Jessie image, compiling Morelo is a bit more complicated. The version of Boost available in the Debian Jessie repositories is too old to use with Morelo, and thus you must compile a newer version yourself. The following explains the extra steps, and has been tested on a Raspberry Pi 2 with a clean install of minimal Raspbian Jessie.
-
As before,
$ apt-get update && apt-get upgradeto install all of the latest software, and increase the system swap size$ sudo /etc/init.d/dphys-swapfile stop$ sudo nano /etc/dphys-swapfile$ CONF_SWAPSIZE=1024$ sudo /etc/init.d/dphys-swapfile start -
Then, install the dependencies for ArQmA except
libunwindandlibboost-all-dev -
Install the latest version of boost (this may first require invoking
$ apt-get remove --purge libboost*to remove a previous version if you're not using a clean install):$ cd$ wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.68.0/boost_1_68_0.tar.bz2$ tar xvfo boost_1_68_0.tar.bz2$ cd boost_1_68_0$ ./bootstrap.sh$ sudo ./b2 -
Wait ~8 hours
$ sudo ./bjam install -
Wait ~4 hours
-
From here, follow the general Raspberry Pi instructions from the "Clone morelo and checkout most recent release version" step.
Binaries for Windows are built on Windows using the MinGW toolchain within MSYS2 environment. The MSYS2 environment emulates a POSIX system. The toolchain runs within the environment and cross-compiles binaries that can run outside of the environment as a regular Windows application.
Preparing the build environment
-
Download and install the MSYS2 installer.
-
Open the MSYS shell via the
MSYS2 MSYSshortcut at Menu Start -
Update packages using pacman:
$ pacman -Syu -
Exit the MSYS shell using Alt+F4 or by clicking X at top-right corner. It is Very Important to do not exit to shell!!.
-
Start
MSYS2 MINGW64from Menu Start -
Update packages again using pacman:
$ pacman -Syu -
Install dependencies:
To build for 64-bit Windows:
$ pacman -S git mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain make mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake mingw-w64-x86_64-boost mingw-w64-x86_64-openssl mingw-w64-x86_64-libsodium mingw-w64-x86_64-hidapi automake autoconf binutils patch
Building
-
Download Morelo with command:
$ git clone https://github.com/morelo/morelo -
Change branch to last Release:
$ cd morelo && git checkout release-v0.6.1 -
Activate and update submodules:
$ git submodule init && git submodule update -
If you are on a 64-bit system, run:
$ USE_SINGLE_BUILDDIR=1 make release-static-win -
The resulting executables can be found in
build/release/bin -
Optional: to build Windows binaries suitable for debugging on a 64-bit system, run:
$ make debug-static-win -
The resulting executables can be found in
build/debug/bin
*** Morelo does Not support 32-bit Windows anymore ***
The project can be built from scratch by following instructions for Linux above. If you are running morelo in a jail you need to add the flag: allow.sysvipc=1 to your jail configuration, otherwise lmdb will throw the error message: Failed to open lmdb environment: Function not implemented.
We expect to add Morelo into the ports tree in the near future, which will aid in managing installations using ports or packages.
This has been tested on OpenBSD 5.8.
You will need to add a few packages to your system. pkg_add db cmake gcc gcc-libs g++ miniupnpc gtest.
The doxygen and graphviz packages are optional and require the xbase set.
The Boost package has a bug that will prevent librpc.a from building correctly. In order to fix this, you will have to Build boost yourself from scratch. Follow the directions here (under "Building Boost"): https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-openbsd.md
You will have to add the serialization, date_time, and regex modules to Boost when building as they are needed by Morelo.
To build: $ env CC=egcc CXX=eg++ CPP=ecpp DEVELOPER_LOCAL_TOOLS=1 BOOST_ROOT=/path/to/the/boost/you/built make release-static-64
You will need to add a few packages to your system. $ pkg_add cmake miniupnpc zeromq libiconv.
The doxygen and graphviz packages are optional and require the xbase set.
Build the Boost library using clang. This guide is derived from: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-openbsd.md
We assume you are compiling with a non-root user and you have doas enabled.
Note: do not use the boost package provided by OpenBSD, as we are installing boost to /usr/local.

The default Solaris linker can't be used, you have to install GNU ld, then run cmake manually with the path to your copy of GNU ld:
$ mkdir -p build/release
$ cd build/release
$ cmake -DCMAKE_LINKER=/path/to/ld -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../..
$ cd ../..
$ make
docker build -f utils/build_scripts/android32.Dockerfile -t morelo-android .
docker create -it --name morelo-android morelo-android bash
docker cp morelo-android:/opt/android/morelo/build/release/bin .
By default, in either dynamically or statically linked builds, binaries target the specific host processor on which the build happens and are not portable to other processors. Portable binaries can be built using the following targets:
make release-static-linux-x86_64builds binaries on Linux on x86_64 portable across POSIX systems on x86_64 processorsmake release-static-linux-armv8builds binaries on Linux portable across POSIX systems on armv8 processorsmake release-static-linux-armv7builds binaries on Linux portable across POSIX systems on armv7 processorsmake release-static-linux-armv6builds binaries on Linux portable across POSIX systems on armv6 processorsmake release-static-winbuilds binaries on 64-bit Windows portable across 64-bit Windows systems
You can also cross-compile Morelo static binaries on Linux for Windows and macOS with the depends system.
make depends target=x86_64-linux-gnufor 64-bit linux binaries.make depends target=x86_64-w64-mingw32for 64-bit windows binaries. Requires: python3 g++-mingw-w64-x86-64 wine1.6 bcmake depends target=x86_64-apple-darwin19.2.0for macOS binaries.

Requires: g++-arm-linux-gnueabihfmake depends target=aarch64-linux-gnufor armv8 binaries. Requires: g++-aarch64-linux-gnu
*** For x86_64-apple-darwin19.2.0 you need to download SDK first ***
The required packages are the names for each toolchain on apt. Depending on your OS Distribution, they may have different names.
Using depends might also be easier to compile Morelo on Windows than using MSYS. Activate Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) with a distribution (for example Ubuntu), install the apt build-essentials and follow the depends steps as stated above.
make depends-compat target=x86_64-linux-gnufor 64-bit linux binaries.
The build places the binary in bin/ sub-directory within the build directory
from which cmake was invoked (repository root by default). To run in
foreground:
$ ./bin/morelod
To list all available options, run ./bin/morelod --help. Options can be
specified either on the command line or in a configuration file passed by the
--config-file argument. To specify an option in the configuration file, add
a line with the syntax argumentname=value, where argumentname is the name
of the argument without the leading dashes, for example log-level=1.
To run in background:
$ ./bin/morelod --log-file morelod.log --detach
To run as a systemd service, copy
morelod.service to /etc/systemd/system/ and
morelod.conf to /etc/. The example
service assumes that the user morelo exists
and its home is the data directory specified in the example
config.
If you're on Mac, you may need to add the --max-concurrency 1 option to
morelo-wallet-cli, and possibly morelod, if you get crashes refreshing.
See README.i18n.md.
There is a new, still experimental, integration with Tor. The feature allows connecting over IPv4 and Tor simultaneously - IPv4 is used for relaying blocks and relaying transactions received by peers whereas Tor is used solely for relaying transactions received over local RPC. This provides privacy and better protection against surrounding node (sybil) attacks.
While Morelo isn't made to integrate with Tor, it can be used wrapped with torsocks, by setting the following configuration parameters and environment variables:
--p2p-bind-ip 127.0.0.1on the command line orp2p-bind-ip=127.0.0.1in morelod.conf to disable listening for connections on external interfaces.--no-igdon the command line orno-igd=1in morelod.conf to disable IGD (UPnP port forwarding negotiation), which is pointless with Tor.DNS_PUBLIC=tcporDNS_PUBLIC=tcp://x.x.x.xwhere x.x.x.x is the IP of the desired DNS server, for DNS requests to go over TCP, so that they are routed through Tor. When IP is not specified, morelod uses the default list of servers defined in src/common/dns_utils.cpp.TORSOCKS_ALLOW_INBOUND=1to tell torsocks to allow morelod to bind to interfaces to accept connections from the wallet. On some Linux systems, torsocks allows binding to localhost by default, so setting this variable is only necessary to allow binding to local LAN/VPN interfaces to allow wallets to connect from remote hosts. On other systems, it may be needed for local wallets as well.- Do NOT pass
--detachwhen running through torsocks with systemd, (see utils/systemd/morelod.service for details). - If you use the wallet with a Tor daemon via the loopback IP (eg, 127.0.0.1:9050),
then use
--untrusted-daemonunless it is your own hidden service.
Example command line to start morelod through Tor:
DNS_PUBLIC=tcp torsocks morelod --p2p-bind-ip 127.0.0.1 --no-igd
TAILS ships with a very restrictive set of firewall rules. Therefore, you need to add a rule to allow this connection too, in addition to telling torsocks to allow inbound connections. Full example:
$ sudo iptables -I OUTPUT 2 -p tcp -d 127.0.0.1 -m tcp --dport 19994 -j ACCEPT
$ DNS_PUBLIC=tcp torsocks ./morelod --p2p-bind-ip 127.0.0.1 --no-igd --rpc-bind-ip 127.0.0.1 \ --data-dir /home/amnesia/Persistent/your/directory/to/the/blockchain
This section contains general instructions for debugging failed installs or problems encountered with Morelo. First ensure you are running the latest version built from the Github repository.
We generally use the tool gdb (GNU debugger) to provide stack trace functionality, and ulimit to provide core dumps in builds which crash or segfault.
- To use gdb in order to obtain a stack trace for a build that has stalled:
Run the build.
Once it stalls, enter the following command:
$ gdb /path/to/morelod pidof morelod``
Type thread apply all bt within gdb in order to obtain the stack trace
- If however the core dumps or segfaults:
Enter ulimit -c unlimited on the command line to enable unlimited filesizes for core dumps
Enter echo core | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern to stop cores from being hijacked by other tools
Run the build.
When it terminates with an output along the lines of "Segmentation fault (core dumped)", there should be a core dump file in the same directory as morelod. It may be named just core, or core.xxxx with numbers appended.
You can now analyse this core dump with gdb as follows:
$ gdb /path/to/morelod /path/to/dumpfile
Print the stack trace with bt
- To run morelo within gdb:
Type $gdb /path/to/morelod
Pass command-line options with --args followed by the relevant arguments
Type run to run morelod
We use the tool valgrind for this.
Run with valgrind /path/to/morelod. It will be slow.
Instructions for debugging suspected blockchain corruption as per @HYC
There is an mdb_stat command in the LMDB source that can print statistics about the database but it's not routinely built. This can be built with the following command:
$ cd ~/morelo/external/liblmdb && make
The output of mdb_stat -ea <path to blockchain dir> will indicate inconsistencies in the blocks, block_heights and block_info table.
The output of mdb_dump -s blocks <path to blockchain dir> and mdb_dump -s block_info <path to blockchain dir> is useful for indicating whether blocks and block_info contain the same keys.
These records are dumped as hex data, where the first line is the key and the second line is the data.
