QT_SELECT=5 ./build.sh
The executable can be found in the build/release/bin folder.
brew install boost --c++11
brew install openssl
- to install openssl headers
brew install pkgconfig
brew install cmake
brew install qt5
(or download QT 5.8+ from qt.io)
If you have an older version of Qt installed via homebrew, you can force it to use 5.x like so:
brew link --force --overwrite qt5
-
Add the Qt bin directory to your path
Example:
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/Qt/5.10/clang_64/bin
This is the directory where Qt 5.x is installed on your system

-
Install msys2, follow the instructions on that page on how to update packages to the latest versions
-
Install shangcoin dependencies as described in shangcoin documentation into msys2 environment As we only build application for x86, install only dependencies for x86 architecture (i686 in package name)
pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-toolchain make mingw-w64-i686-cmake mingw-w64-i686-boost
-
Install git into msys2 environment
pacman -S git
-
Install Qt5 from official site
- download unified installer, run and select following options:
- Qt > Qt 5.10.0 > MinGW 5.3.0 32 bit
- Tools > MinGW 5.3.0
- continue with installation
- download unified installer, run and select following options:

Shangcoin is a private, secure, untraceable, decentralised digital currency. You are your bank, you control your funds, and nobody can trace your transfers unless you allow them to do so.
Privacy: Shangcoin uses a cryptographically sound system to allow you to send and receive funds without your transactions being easily revealed on the blockchain (the ledger of transactions that everyone has). This ensures that your purchases, receipts, and all transfers remain absolutely private by default.
Security: Using the power of a distributed peer-to-peer consensus network, every transaction on the network is cryptographically secured. Individual wallets have a 25 word mnemonic seed that is only displayed once, and can be written down to backup the wallet. Wallet files are encrypted with a passphrase to ensure they are useless if stolen.
Untraceability: By taking advantage of ring signatures, a special property of a certain type of cryptography, Shangcoin is able to ensure that transactions are not only untraceable, but have an optional measure of ambiguity that ensures that transactions cannot easily be tied back to an individual user or computer.
This is the GUI for the core Shangcoin implementation. It is open source and completely free to use without restrictions, except for those specified in the license agreement below. There are no restrictions on anyone creating an alternative implementation of Shangcoin that uses the protocol and network in a compatible manner.
As with many development projects, the repository on Github is considered to be the "staging" area for the latest changes. Before changes are merged into that branch on the main repository, they are tested by individual developers in their own branches, submitted as a pull request, and then subsequently tested by contributors who focus on testing and code reviews. That having been said, the repository should be carefully considered before using it in a production environment, unless there is a patch in the repository for a particular show-stopping issue you are experiencing. It is generally a better idea to use a tagged release for stability.
Shangcoin is a 100% community-sponsored endeavor. If you want to join our efforts, the easiest thing you can do is support the project financially. Both Shangcoin and Bitcoin donations can be made to donate.getmonero.org if using a client that supports the OpenAlias standard.
