LBRYcrd - The LBRY blockchain

alt text

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 the lbrycrd-cli executable to interact with lbrycrdd through the command line. Help pages for both executable are available through the "--help" flag (e.g. lbrycrd-cli --help).

Example Usage

Run ./lbrycrdd -server -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 will build the binaries and put them into the ./src directory.

If you encounter any errors, please check doc/build-*.md for further instructions. If you're still stuck, create an issue with the output of that command, your system info, and any other information you think might be helpful.

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.

Testnet

Testnet is maintained for testing purposes and can be accessed using the command ./lbrycrdd -testnet. If you would like testnet credits, please contact kay@lbry.io or grin@lbry.io.
