Argentum is the Latin name for the element silver. It is the perfect name to represent this currency and the potential it has with a dedicated development team. Argentum is fast, unique, and secure. We have learned from many of the past crypto-currencies and created one that can rival any. Argentum brings innovation and experimentation that pushes the limits.
We have a new website; https://www.argentum.io We are using a new repo; https://www.github.com/argentumproject/argentum

- Minimum transaction fee and minimum relay transaction fee from 0.00500000 to 0.00050000
- Bring the dust limit in line with Bitcoin and most cryptocurrencies. With a relay transaction fee of 0.00050000 the dust limit is 0.00027300; anything less than that and the transaction will be rejected.
- Change the dust soft limit to 0.00050000. Any amount of ARG less than 0.00050000 will incur an additional fee of 0.00050000.
- Add checkpoint block
- Change minimum peer version to 2.4.1
- Change protocol version to 1050000
- Disconnect obsolete peers
- Changes max sequential blocks found per algorithm from 3 to 6
- Fork height set at Block # 2,032,000
Specifications
- Scrypt & SHA256D
- AUXPOW merge mine capability
- Optimized client
- Block size 10mb
- Signature operations per block maximum 100k
- 45 Second block time
- 3 Argentums per block
The first two features are on the bitcoin hardfork wishlist. We wanted to create the first cryptographic currency with almost unlimited scalability. The signature operations per block were not increased as much as block size because it is unnecessary and theoretically unreachable as is.
- Block 1930000 new Multi-algorithm difficulty adjustment based on Digispeed.
- 64 million total ARG.
Once this limit is reached, it is increased by 1.1% annually, the rate of human population growth.
- Mined blocks mature after 30 confirms
- Argentum is a fast currency but it does not compromise the safety of the blockchain in the process.

- Pick some path to install BDB to, here we create a directory within the argentum directory
BITCOIN_ROOT=$(pwd)
BDB_PREFIX="${BITCOIN_ROOT}/db5"
mkdir -p $BDB_PREFIX
- Fetch the source and verify that it is not tampered with
wget 'http://download.oracle.com/berkeley-db/db-5.1.29.NC.tar.gz'
echo '08238e59736d1aacdd47cfb8e68684c695516c37f4fbe1b8267dde58dc3a576c db-5.1.29.NC.tar.gz' | sha256sum -c db-5.1.29.NC.tar.gz: OK
tar -xzvf db-5.1.29.NC.tar.gz
- Build the library and install to our prefix
cd db-5.1.29.NC/build_unix/
- Note: Do a static build so that it can be embedded into the exectuable, instead of having to find a .so at runtime
../dist/configure --enable-cxx --disable-shared --with-pic --prefix=$BDB_PREFIX
make install
- Configure Argentum Core to use our own-built instance of BDB
