LBRYcrd - The LBRY blockchain
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
Latest binaries are available from https://github.com/lbryio/lbrycrd/releases. There is no installation procedure, the binaries run as is.
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.
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
Contributions to this project are welcome, encouraged, and compensated. For more details, see lbry.io/faq/contributing
The master branch is regularly built and tested, but is not guaranteed to be
completely stable. 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.
Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests 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
The Travis CI system makes sure that every pull request is built, and that unit and sanity tests are automatically run.
