Introduction

|
------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Monero is a private, secure, untraceable currency. You are your bank, you control your
|
||||||
|
funds, and nobody can trace your transfers.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Privacy: Monero uses a cryptographically sound system to allow you to send and receive
|
||||||
|
funds without your transactions being easily revealed on the blockchain (the ledger of
|
||||||
|
transactions that everyone has). This ensures that your purchases, receipts, and all
|
||||||
|
transfers remain absolutely private by default.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Security: Using the power of a distributed peer-to-peer consensus network, every
|
||||||
|
transaction on the network is cryptographically secured. Individual wallets have a 24 word
|
||||||
|
mnemonic that is only displayed once, and can be written down to backup the wallet. Wallet
|
||||||
|
files are encrypted with a passphrase to ensure they are useless if stolen.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Untraceability: By taking advantage of ring signatures, a special property of certain
|
||||||
|
types of cryptography, Monero is able to ensure that transactions are not only
|
||||||
|
untraceable, but have an optional measure of ambiguity that ensures that transactions
|
||||||
|
cannot easily be tied back to an individual user or computer.

About this Project
|
||||||
|
------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is the core implementation of Monero. It is open source and completely free to use
|
||||||
|
without restrictions, except for those specified in the license agreement below. There are
|
||||||
|
no restrictions on anyone creating an alternative implementation of Monero that uses the
|
||||||
|
protocol and network in a compatible manner.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As with many development projects, the repository on Github is considered to be the
|
||||||
|
"staging" area for the latest changes. Before changes are merged into that master repo,
|
||||||
|
they are tested by individual developers, as well as contributors who focus on thorough
|
||||||
|
testing and code reviews. That having been said, the repository should be carefully
|
||||||
|
considered before using it in a production environment, unless there is a patch in the
|
||||||
|
repository for a particular show-stopping issue you are experiencing. It is generally
|
||||||
|
a better idea to use a tagged release for stability.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Anyone is able to contribute to Monero. If you have a fix or code change, feel free to
|
||||||
|
submit is as a pull request. In cases where the change is relatively small or does not
|
||||||
|
affect other parts of the codebase it may be merged in immediately by any one of the
|
||||||
|
collaborators. On the other hand, if the change is particularly large or complex, it
|
||||||
|
is expected that it will be discussed at length either well in advance of the pull
|
||||||
|
request being submitted, or even directly on the pull request.

- To build, change to the root of the source code directory, and run 'make'.
|
||||||
|
|

- Parallel build: run 'make -j<number of threads>' instead of 'make'.
|

Test suite: run `make test-release' to run tests in addition to building. Running `make test-debug' will do the same to the debug version.
|
|
||||||
Building with Clang: it may be possible to use Clang instead of GCC, but this may not work everywhere. To build, run `export CC=clang CXX=clang++' before running `make'.
|
- Debug build: run 'make build-debug'.

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Add the repository: brew tap sammy007/cryptonight
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Build wallet: brew install --HEAD bitmonero

|
||||||
* graphviz (optional)
|
|

From root code directory, execute :
|
Monero developer documentation uses Doxygen, and is currently a work-in-progress.
|

Dependencies: Doxygen 1.8.0 or later, Graphviz 2.28 or later (optional)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you have installed *graphviz*, you can also generate in-doc diagrams :
|
- To build, change to the root of the source code directory, and run 'doxygen Doxyfile'
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
HAVE_DOT=YES doxygen Doxyfile
|
- If you have installed Graphviz, you can also generate in-doc diagrams by instead running
|
||||||
|
'HAVE_DOT=YES doxygen Doxyfile'
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The output will go in **doc/html/**
|
- The output will be built in doc/html/
