BitcoinEssence is a lite version of Bitcoin using Scrypt as a Proof-Of-Work algorithm.
- 15 second block targets
- Transaction speed is in few seconds
- subsidy halves in 1,575,000 blocks (9 months)
- 2,100,000,000 total coins
- 500 coins per block
- 25% premine for continuous develop, marketing cost, 75% reserved for mining
The rest is the same as Bitcoin.
For more information, as well as an immediately useable, binary version of the BitcoinEssence client sofware, see http://www.bitcoinessence.org. and download source, window build at https://github.com/leegod/BitcoinEssence/releases
For block explorer, transaction ID, wallet search, see http://www.bitcoinessence.info
(Ubuntu OS) Clone project or download source.zip file and compile by from /BitcoinEssence , type [ qmake ], and then [ make ]
(Windows) Download BitcoinEssence-windows build(version) file and unzip it, Run bitcoinessence-qt.exe file for standalone, or install bitcoinessence-0.8.7.5-win32-setup.exe Both are same program.
If you previously installed 0.8.x version program, delete whole files at c:/user/(username)/Appdata/Roaming/BitcoinEssence and re-install or re-run program.
For start mine, at your wallet program, see menu's [Help-Debug window] -> Console tab -> type "setgenerate true" at below. for turn off, type "setgenerate false"

Developers work in their own trees, then submit pull requests when they think their feature or bug fix is ready.
If it is a simple/trivial/non-controversial change, then one of the BitcoinEssence development team members simply pulls it.
If it is a more complicated or potentially controversial change, then the patch submitter will be asked to start a discussion with the devs and community.
The patch will be accepted if there is broad consensus that it is a good thing.
Developers should expect to rework and resubmit patches if the code doesn't
match the project's coding conventions (see doc/coding.txt) or are
controversial.
The master branch is regularly built and tested, but is not guaranteed to be
completely stable. Tags are created
regularly to indicate new official, stable release versions of BitcoinEssence.
Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test. Please be patient and help out, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.
Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to submit new unit tests for old code.
Unit tests for the core code are in src/test/. To compile and run them:
cd src; make -f makefile.unix test
Unit tests for the GUI code are in src/qt/test/. To compile and run them:
qmake BITCOIN_QT_TEST=1 -o Makefile.test bitcoin-qt.pro
make -f Makefile.test
./bitcoinessence-qt_test
