This is an unstable, developer experiment, running on its test network! Follow along the fun here: http://rustyrussell.github.io/pettycoin/

To build:

1. Install the openssl development headers and valgrind, eg: apt-get install build-essential git libssl-dev valgrind.
2. ./configure && make && make check

Things you can do:

• Run the pettycoin daemon ./pettycoin:

  • This will create a ~/.pettycoin/ directory where you can place your config (which are simply commandline options without the --, like log-level=debug and port=8323).
  • The CPU miner won't run unless you set --reward-address; eg. P-mhA9ozMTVWrSnUX2kB8QjEq9FBen8k3euW.
  • Try --help.

• Interact with the running pettycoin using ./pettycoin-query:

  • help is a useful command.
  • You can inject a raw transaction with sendrawtransaction.

• Create a transaction with ./pettycoin-tx.

• Send test coins from the bitcoin network to the prototype gateway at muQY1RFhzu2exJj4wihqfotzDDztS1ieZv (only if you control the sending address!)

• Run your own gateway (see doc/RUNNING-A-GATEWAY.md).

• Create and monitor a simple test wallet (see doc/DUMB-WALLET.md).

You can see some examples by looking at test/standalone/simple_inject.sh.

Getting Help

You can reach the developers on IRC (#pettycoin on Freenode), on the development mailing list, and of course, via pull requests and the Github bug tracker.

Good luck!
