LoveBlock

LoveBlock is the decentralized database for Dating - DDD and LoveBlock.one (LB) is the most innovative blockchain technology solution for online dating around the world! The LB blockchain infrastructure and dating platform will empore Blockchain and Smart Contracts to deal with the major problems in online dating: LoveBlock solves these key issues related to online dating, such as fraudulent activity, motivation to acquire tokens to use services, security using block chains. Based out of the laboratory in Singapore, the LB team works closely together with Luxy (www.onluxy.com), a highly successful dating application with more than 2 million users worldwide. In LB, our company's unique verification system makes it easy to identify fraud. Information is stored on the LoveBlock Blockchain, encrypted, and can share data with other DApps. By doing this, fraudsters will have no place to hide and can be eliminated permanently.

Installation Instructions

Setup build tools

• Install golang, ensure the Go version is 1.7(or any later version).
• Install git
• Install mingw if you use windows to build, cause GCC is required
• Set up the Path environment variable GOPATH
• Make source code directory in GOPATH and download source code into it

  mkdir src\github.com\LoveBlock
  git clone https://github.com/LoveBlock/loveblock src\github.com\LoveBlock\loveblock
  

• Compile loveblock

  cd src\github.com\LoveBlock\loveblock
  go install -v ./loveblock
  

Running loveblock

Start up LoveBlock's built-in interactive JavaScript console, (via the trailing console subcommand) through which you can invoke all official network methods. You can simply interact with the LoveBlock network; create accounts; transfer funds; deploy and interact with contracts. To do so:

$ loveblock console

This command will start a node to sync block datas from LoveBlock network. The console subcommand is optional and if you leave it out you can always attach to an already running node with loveblock attach.

Run with specific data directory

$ loveblock console --datadir=path/to/custom/data/folder

Operating a private network

Defining the private genesis state

First, you'll need to create the genesis state of your networks, which all nodes need to be aware of and agree upon. This consists of a small JSON file (e.g. call it genesis.json):

{
  "config": {
    "chainId": 0
  },
  "alloc": {
    "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000001": {
      "balance": "11111111111"
    },
    "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000002": {
      "balance": "222222222"
    }
  },
  "nonce": "0x0000000000000613"
}

• chainId You can create a new block chain network totally separated with LoveBlock
• alloc Pre-fund accounts
• nonce Change the nonce to some random value so you prevent unknown remote nodes from being able to connect to you

With the genesis state defined in the above JSON file, you'll need to initialize every loveblock node with it prior to starting it up to ensure all blockchain parameters are correctly set:

loveblock init path/to/genesis.json

Running star nodes

Star nodes confirm transactions and produce blocks.

1. Run loveblock with console command and record the enode address in log. (e.g. enode://79ca6a10e28134087cce01c6b5f4dd54b7bb689c93b39aa29fb890f49c408589983c7a354f2c5d5c70072b7670153d3ac121e566c7ab6298dc53e201696da084@[::]:30303)
2. Create account, enter the password and record address.

personal.newAccount()

3. Shutdown node. Fill account and enode address into starlist file in data directory. For Example:

0xc858fe1d6b73c0ec640b3b2469c40278c8adbb5a 79ca6a10e28134087cce01c6b5f4dd54b7bb689c93b39aa29fb890f49c408589983c7a354f2c5d5c70072b7670153d3ac121e566c7ab6298dc53e201696da084

Every witness a line. 4. Run loveblock with star mode and start to mine

loveblock --nodemode star --mine <other flags>

Starting up your satellite nodes

Satellite node is the default mode

1. Start every subsequent loveblock node with console command. It will probably also be desirable to keep the data directory of your private network separated, so do also specify a custom --datadir flag.

loveblock console --datadir=path/to/custom/data/folder

2. connect star nodes ( or other satellite nodes ) with enode_address

admin.addPeer("enode://79ca6a10e28134087cce01c6b5f4dd54b7bb689c93b39aa29fb890f49c408589983c7a354f2c5d5c70072b7670153d3ac121e566c7ab6298dc53e201696da084@[::]:30306")

Thank you Ethereum

Ethereum is an outstanding open source blockchain project, with Turing complete virtual machine, convenient account data storage mechanism, and is a proven mature and stable system. However, Ethereum also has obvious problems of low throughput and low consensus efficiency. In order to create prototype rapidly and fast verify our innovative consensus algorithms and application scenarios, LoveBlock will perform in-depth optimization based on Ethereum 1.8.3, gradually replacing its consensus mechanism, introducing new smart contract language, and transforming the account system.

Thanks to all contributors of the Ethereum Project.
