Wcecoin integration/staging tree

Copyright (c) 2009-2014 Bitcoin Developers Copyright (c) 2017-2018 Wcecoin Developers

What is Wcecoin?

Wcecoin is a lite version of Bitcoin using scrypt as a proof-of-work algorithm.

  • 2.5 minute block targets
  • subsidy halves in 840k blocks (~4 years)
  • 350,000 total coins

The rest is the same as Bitcoin.

  • 20 coins per block
  • 2016 blocks to retarget difficulty

For more information, as well as an immediately useable, binary version of the Wcecoin client sofware

Development process

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 Wcecoin development team members simply pulls it.

The master branch is regularly built and tested, but is not guaranteed to be completely stable. Tags are created regularly to indicate new versions of Wcecoin.

Testing

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.

Automated Testing

COMPILATION IS MUST. I HAVE DELETED ALL THE OBJECT FILES.

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
./wcecoin-qt_test
OR
./wcecoin-qt
