EPMCoin is an experimental digital currency that enables anonymous, instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. EPMCoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. EPMCoin is the name of the open source software which enables the use of this currency.
For more information, as well as an immediately useable, binary version of the EPMCoin software, see https://www.epmcoin.io/
The examples below presume you have a basic build environment installed:
git clone https://github.com/epmcoin/NewEPM
cd NewEPM/depends
make HOST=x86_64-linux-gnu
cd ..
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=`pwd`/depends/x86_64-linux-gnu
make
wget https://github.com/codablock/bls-signatures/archive/v20181101.zip
unzip v20181101.zip
cd bls-signatures-20181101
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make install
(if you receive an error here, you need to run as the root user; as the system is trying to install a library)
cd ../..
git clone https://github.com/epmcoin/NewEPM
cd NewEPM
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
* note: if you do not have libdb4.8 installed, no issues will be created by using 5.1 or 5.3; but the wallets
will not be portable! to achieve this; simply append --with-incompatible-bdb to the configure statement.
EPMCoin is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.
The master branch is meant to be stable. Development is normally done in separate branches.
Tags are created to indicate new official,
stable release versions of EPMCoin.
The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md.
Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.
EPMCoin uses the EPMCoin Core platform; building upon it to provide extra functionality.
