A project containing extra functionality for the Vertcoin blockchain. Currently this contains two main functionalities:
- An OpenAssets implementation for Vertcoin
- An implementation of Stealth Transactions
WARNING: This project is in early development stages. Please refrain from using this for storing anything that has actual value.
Firstly, make sure you have a running Vertcoin node on testnet. You can run it by executing vertcoin-qt with the -testnet parameter. Make sure RPC is enabled by including the following settings in your vertcoin.conf:
server=1
rpcuser=youruserhere
rpcpassword=yourpasswordhere
Once testnet has fully synced, you can download the binary release of Vertcoin OpenAssets, and run it. The first time you start it up it will generate a private key and default config in the folder you start it up. It will probably fail to connect to Vertcoin Core on that first time, since the RPC credentials you configured in vertcoin.conf need to be matched in vertcoin-openassets.conf. Edit the latter file to match the configured credentials in vertcoin.conf and restart Vertcoin OpenAssets. The software should now open its browser-based front-end and allow you to receive (testnet) Vertcoin and Assets.
