### How To Contribute Code ### How To Contribute Code
1. **Identify the component you want to work on**. LBRY has code bases in Python, JavaScript, PHP, and C++. See [Ecosystem Overview](#ecosystem-overview). 1. **Join the Community**. By joining our [chat](https://chat.lbry.io) or our [forum](https://discourse.lbry.io), you can interact with other developers when you have questions, ideas, or problems.
1. **Get set up.** Each repo has a `README.md` with clear instructions on how to get the repo up and running properly. Thanks, [Repository Standards](/repository-standards)! 1. **Identify the component you want to work on**. LBRY has code bases that deal with everything from cryptography and distributed systems to end-user graphic user-interfaces. We use Python, JavaScript, C++, Go, and more. See [Ecosystem Overview](#ecosystem-overview) to find the right project.
1. **Find something to work on**. All actively developed repositories should have issues tagged "Good First Issues" specifically for new contributors. Some projects use a "level: n" tagging system, where lower numbers are simpler and higher numbers are more complex. Of course, you are also welcome to work on something not currently filed if you have your own idea! Additionally, all repositories have contact information for the maintainer if you have trouble finding an issue to work on. 1. **Get set up.** Each repo has a [[README]] with clear instructions on how to get the repo up and running properly.

1. **Commit early and ask questions**. Is an issue confusing? Please comment and say so! Not sure if you've got the right approach? Commit your code and we'll give feedback. Certain you're doing everything right? Commit it anyway. Once you commit, open a pull request. We encourage work-in-progress commits to let us know you're working on something and to facilitate feedback. 1. **Commit early and ask questions**. Is an issue confusing? Please comment and say so!

For any projects that you want to be a tester on, "Watch" the repo on GitHub. You will receive an email with release notes whenever a release candidate is out. ### Ways to Test
For even harder-core testing, you can follow the `README` instructions in a project and test against the `master` branch of a project at any time. Additionally, `master` builds for some projects are always available via [build.lbry.io](http://build.lbry.io). - "Watch" the repo on GitHub. You will receive an email with release notes whenever a release candidate is out and you can [raise an issue](#raising-issues).
- Join the #early-testing channel in our [chat](https://chat.lbry.io).
- For the hardcore, run master from source and/or the latest builds from [build.lbry.io](http://build.lbry.io).
Opening well-specified issues against release candidates or master builds is extremely useful in helping us create quality software. Opening well-specified issues against release candidates or master builds is extremely useful in helping us create quality software.
**Note: that you perform testing at your own risk! If using release candidates and especially master builds, back up your wallet and be cautious.** **Note: Please do not use wallets with substantial sums when testing. If using release candidates and especially master builds, back up your wallet and be cautious. While a substantial bug, like one that caused loss of funds, would merit significant [Appreciation](#appreciation), you perform testing at your own risk.**

While we think we're fair-to-generous in our tips, tipping is more about recognizing and appreciating what you've given to the community than providing compensation. Sometimes, you may have a problem but an issue isn't appropriate (or you're not sure if it's a real issue).
Join our [chat](https://chat.lbry.io), our [forum](https://discourse.lbry.io), or another [community](https://lbry.tech/community) and talk to others about it.
## Appreciation
We offer LBC as a gesture of our appreciation to anyone who contributes to LBRY. While we're generous in what we send, it is more about recognizing and appreciating what you've given to the community than providing compensation.
The amount of LBC is not typically specified in advance of a contribution, though if you're particularly motivated by this aspect you are welcome to ask.

LBRYcrd uses a blockchain similar to bitcoin's to implement an index and payment system for content on the LBRY network. It is a fork of Core. lbrycrd is the authoritative implementation of the LBRY [[blockchain]] protocol. See [the source code](https://github.com/lbryio/lbrycrd), [the API](/api/blockchain), or [the whitepaper](/whitepaper).
### lbry-sdk
An [[SDK]] for the LBRY protocol that can also be used independently. Distributed as a daemon or bundled directly, it contains a set of convenience methods for developing applications, and bundles an [[SPV]] wallet as well as implementation of the data network.

### Simplified Payment Verification (SPV) ### Simplified Payment Verification
A scheme to validate transactions without storing the whole blockchain (only block headers) and without trusting any external service. Every transaction must be present with all its parent and sibling hashes in a *merkle tree* up to the root. SPV client trusts the most *difficult* chain of block headers and can validate if the transaction indeed belongs to a certain block header. Since SPV does not validate all transactions, a *51% attack* may not only cause a *double spend* (like with *full nodes*), but also make a completely invalid payment with credits created from nowhere. However, this kind of attack is very costly and probably more expensive than a product in question.

# The LBRY Proof of Work (POW) Algorithm # LBRY Consensus Algorithm
LBRY uses [proof of work](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Proof_of_work) the same way that Bitcoin does. The LBRY uses [proof of work](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Proof_of_work) as a consensus mechanism, the same way that Bitcoin does.
only difference is the hash function. LBRY uses a slightly different algorithm that achieves the same ends but slightly delayed the development of a GPU miner and gave early adopters a chance to mine without specialized hardware.
LBRY's algorithm is LBRY has differences in hash function, block targeting, and difficult adjustment.
