##Current version 1.8.27-atlantis

Go Bitcoiin2g

The Bitcoiin2g protocol is implemented in Golang and uses same Ethash algorithm as Ethereum blockchain.The inspiration of Bitcoiin 2Gen, is to make a superior or more advanced version of Original Bitcoin and uses Ethereum blockchain which is safer and faster blockchain than the Bitcoin’s blockchain.

Building bitcoiinGo client requires both a Go (version 1.8 or later) and a C compiler.

Build instructions for Mac

Clone the repository to a directory of your choosing:

git clone https://github.com/bitcoiinBT2/go-bitcoiin

Building bitcoiinGo requires the Go compiler:

brew install go

Finally, build the bitcoiinGo program using the following command.

cd go-bitcoiin
make bitcoiinGo

If you see some errors related to header files of Mac OS system library, install XCode Command Line Tools, and try again.

xcode-select --install

You can now run build/bin/bitcoiinGo to start your node.

You can also run sudo cp ./build/bin/bitcoiinGo /usr/local/bin/bitcoiinGo and then run bitcoiinGo from any directory.

BitcoiinGo client will now start downloading blocks. Wait till your node synchronises with the network to start activities such as mining.

Build instructions for Windows

The Chocolatey package manager provides an easy way to get the required build tools installed. If you don't have chocolatey yet, follow the instructions on https://chocolatey.org to install it first.

Then open an Administrator command prompt and install the build tools we need:

C:\Windows\system32> choco install git
C:\Windows\system32> choco install golang
C:\Windows\system32> choco install mingw

Installing these packages will set up the Path environment variable. Open a new command prompt to get the new Path. The following steps don't need Administrator privileges.

Please ensure that the installed Go version is 1.8 (or any later version).

First we'll create and set up a Go workspace directory layout, then clone the source.

OBS If, during the commands below, you get the following message:

 WARNING: The data being saved is truncated to 1024 characters.

Then that means that the setx command will fail, and proceeding will truncate the Path/GOPATH. If this happens, it's better to abort, and try to make some more room in Path before trying again.

C:\Users\xxx> set "GOPATH=%USERPROFILE%"
C:\Users\xxx> set "Path=%USERPROFILE%\bin;%Path%"
C:\Users\xxx> setx GOPATH "%GOPATH%"
C:\Users\xxx> setx Path "%Path%"
C:\Users\xxx> mkdir src\github.com\bitcoiinBT2
C:\Users\xxx> git clone https://github.com/bitcoiinBT2/go-bitcoiin src\github.com\bitcoiinBT2\go-bitcoiin
C:\Users\xxx> cd src\github.com\bitcoiinBT2\go-bitcoiin
C:\Users\xxx> go get -u -v golang.org/x/net/context

Finally, the command to compile bitcoiinGo is:

C:\Users\xxx\src\github.com\bitcoiinBT2/go-bitcoiin> go install -v ./cmd/bitcoiinGo

You can now run build/bin/bitcoiinGo.exe to start your node.

BitcoiinGo client will now start downloading blocks. Wait till your node synchronises with the network to start activities such as mining.

NOTE

We have provided executable binaries for windows, in case you face issues in building BitcoiinGo on windows. You can also build the executable if you wish. Below are the steps to follow :

1. Run cd build/bin.
2. Run bitcoiinGo-windows-4.0-386.exe init genesis.json OR bitcoiinGo-windows-4.0-amd64.exe init genesis.json, depends on your Windows environment.
3. Run bitcoiinGo-windows-4.0-386.exe OR bitcoiinGo-windows-4.0-amd64.exe and wait till your node synchronises with the network to start activities such as mining.

Build instructions for Ubuntu

Clone the repository to a directory of your choosing:

git clone https://github.com/bitcoiinBT2/go-bitcoiin

Install latest distribution of Go (v1.8) if you don't have it already.

Building bitcoiinGo requires Go and C compilers to be installed:

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential golang

Finally, build the bitcoiinGo program using the following command.

cd go-bitcoiin
make bitcoiinGo

You can now run build/bin/bitcoiinGo to start your node.

You can also run sudo cp ./build/bin/bitcoiinGo /usr/local/bin/bitcoiinGo and then run bitcoiinGo from any directory.

BitcoiinGo client will now start downloading blocks. Wait till your node synchronises with the network to start activities such as mining.

Programatically interfacing BitcoiinGo nodes

BitcoiinGo has built in support for a JSON-RPC based APIs. These can be exposed via HTTP, WebSockets and IPC (unix sockets on unix based platforms, and named pipes on Windows).

The IPC interface is enabled by default and exposes all the APIs supported by BitcoiinGo, whereas the HTTP and WS interfaces need to manually be enabled and only expose a subset of APIs due to security reasons. These can be turned on/off and configured as you'd expect.

HTTP based JSON-RPC API options:

• --rpc Enable the HTTP-RPC server
• --rpcaddr HTTP-RPC server listening interface (default: "localhost")
• --rpcport HTTP-RPC server listening port (default: 8545)
• --rpcapi API's offered over the HTTP-RPC interface (default: "eth,net,web3")
• --rpccorsdomain Comma separated list of domains from which to accept cross origin requests (browser enforced)
• --ws Enable the WS-RPC server
• --wsaddr WS-RPC server listening interface (default: "localhost")
• --wsport WS-RPC server listening port (default: 8546)
• --wsapi API's offered over the WS-RPC interface (default: "eth,net,web3")
• --wsorigins Origins from which to accept websockets requests
• --ipcdisable Disable the IPC-RPC server
• --ipcapi API's offered over the IPC-RPC interface (default: "admin,debug,eth,miner,net,personal,shh,txpool,web3")
• --ipcpath Filename for IPC socket/pipe within the datadir (explicit paths escape it)

You'll need to use your own programming environments' capabilities (libraries, tools, etc) to connect via HTTP, WS or IPC to a BitcoiinGo node configured with the above flags and you'll need to speak JSON-RPC on all transports. You can reuse the same connection for multiple requests!
