Official Go implementation of the Ethereum protocol, geth, altered for Auxilium cryptocurrency.
Binary archives are published at https://downloads.auxilium.global/node/.
Auxilium is a cryptocurrency for Auxilium Global organisation which is aimed at conservation, renewable resources, helping others and other forms of philantropy. Given these goals, Auxilium takes "green" PoA consensus as a basis pairing it with Auxilium Interest Distribution platform as a substitue for a reward mechanism.

Install Go (version 1.7 or later) and a C compiler. Then move to directory with this repository and run:
make geth
To start the node use the following command:
$ ./build/bin/geth --syncmode full
Upon first start node will begin synchronizing from block 1. Due to ChainID fork, initial synchonization with Auxilium network requires some additional steps: once block 2783760 has been downloaded, node should be restarted with the same command
$ ./build/bin/geth --syncmode full
After that, the node can be used as usual. Number of the last downloaded block can be seen in the logs of geth command, via commands passed to geth --syncmode full console or with the help of local HTTP-RPC server.
All subsequent starts of Auxilium geth do not require any additional restarts but work out of the box.
Please refer to geth.README.md for detailed instructions, as well as for description of command line options.
Note: for compatibility's sake code of Auxilium node continues to use "github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum" import statements. If you are making separate builds for original Ethereum node you might run into mix-up with package imports. In that case, it is advised to use symbolic links, e.g.:
ln -s -t $GOPATH/src/github.com/ethereum/ $GOPATH/src/github.com/auxiliumglobal/go-ethereum
Here path to Auxilium node code can be arbitrary.
Auxilium's node was modified in order to connect only to Auxilium blockchain network configured with PoA Clique consensus, with different Chain ID. Initially Auxilium used Chain ID 8. However, to avoid collisions with other Ethereum-based networks, Auxilium network underwent ChainID fork that took place on June 1st, 2019, block 2783760. Now Auxilium network has Chain ID 28945486.
The syncmode option and console command operate identically to those in original geth; however, Auxilium's node uses port 30308 by default. Likewise, default data directory for Auxilium's node is ~/.auxilium on Linux and its analogues on Windows and OS X.
Auxilium's node is following licensing terms of Go Ethereum node, namely GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 and GNU General Public License v3.0. Refer to geth.README.md for details.
