VoteCoin is an implementation of the "Zerocash" protocol. Forked from ZCash, based on Bitcoin's code, it intends to offer a far higher standard of privacy through a sophisticated zero-knowledge proving scheme that preserves confidentiality of transaction metadata. Technical details are available in our Protocol Specification.
This software is the VoteCoin client. It downloads and stores the entire history of VoteCoin transactions; depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process could take a day or more once the blockchain has reached a significant size.
VoteCoin is experimental and a work-in-progress. Use at your own risk.
Build VoteCoin along with most dependencies from source by running
cd ./zcutil
./votecoin_build.sh
This will also setup your votecoin.conf file in ~/.votecoin directory, if the file does not exist yet
If you wish to start mining, add these lines to ~/.votecoin/votecoin.conf:
gen=1
genproclimit=-1
equihashsolver=tromp
$ ./src/votecoind
