# LBRYcrd - The LBRY blockchain
## What is LBRYcrd?
![alt text](lbrycrdd_daemon_screenshot.png "lbrycrdd daemon screenshot")
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 bitcoin core.
## Installation
## Development Process
Latest binaries are available from https://github.com/lbryio/lbrycrd/releases. There is no installation procedure, the binaries run as is.
The `master` branch is regularly built and tested, but is not guaranteed to be
completely stable. [Releases](https://github.com/lbryio/lbrycrd/releases) are created
regularly to indicate new official, stable release versions.
## Usage
The "lbrycrdd" executable will start a LBRYcrd node and connect you to the LBRYcrd network. Use "lbrycrd-cli" executable
to interact with the lbrycrdd executable through the command line. Help pages for both executable are available through
the "--help" flag.
## Building LBRYcrd
### Example Usage
Run `./lbrycrdd -daemon` to start lbrycrdd in the background.
Run `./lbrycrd-cli getinfo` to check for some basic informations about your LBRYcrd node.
Run `./lbrycrd-cli help` to get a list of all commands that you can run. To get help on specific commands run `./lbrycrd-cli [command_name] help`
## Running from Source
Run `./reproducible_build.sh -c -t`. This should build the binaries and put them into the `./src` directory.
If that errors, please report the issue and see `doc/build-*.md` for further instructions.
## Contributing
The contribution workflow is described in [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md).
Contributions to this project are welcome, encouraged, and compensated. For more details, see [lbry.io/faq/contributing](https://lbry.io/faq/contributing)
## Testing
The `master` branch is regularly built and tested, but is not guaranteed to be
completely stable. [Releases](https://github.com/lbryio/lbrycrd/releases) are created
regularly to indicate new official, stable release versions.
Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull
requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing
other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people
lots of money.
### Automated Testing
Developers are strongly encouraged to write [unit tests](/doc/unit-tests.md) for new code, and to
submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run
(assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: `make check`
There are also [regression and integration tests](/qa) of the RPC interface, written
in Python, that are run automatically on the build server.
These tests can be run (if the [test dependencies](/qa) are installed) with: `qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.py`
The Travis CI system makes sure that every pull request is built, and that unit and sanity tests are automatically run.
### Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing
Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the
code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful
to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is
not straightforward.
