Vcoin (Bcoin ported to Vertcoin)

NOTE: The latest release of vcoin contains a non-backward compatible change to the rest API. Please read the changelog's "migrating" section for more details.

Vcoin is an alternative implementation of the vertcoin protocol, written in node.js.

Although still in a beta state, vcoin is well tested and aware of all known consensus rules. It is currently used in production as the consensus backend and wallet system for purse.io.

Uses

  • Full Node
  • SPV Node
  • Wallet Backend (bip44 derivation)
  • Mining Backend (getblocktemplate support)
  • Layer 2 Backend (lightning)
  • General Purpose Bitcoin Library

Try it in the browser: http://bcoin.io/browser.html

Install

$ git clone git://github.com/vertcoin-project/vcoin.git
$ cd vcoin
$ npm install
$ ./bin/vcoin

See the Beginner's Guide for more in-depth installation instructions.
