DDirham is an EXPERIMENTAL lite version of Bitcoin using scrypt as a proof-of-work algorithm.
- 30 second block targets
- subsidy halves in 840k blocks (~9 months)
- ~10 million total coins
The rest is the same as Bitcoin.
- 500 coins per block
- 10 blocks to retarget difficulty
DDirham is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more
information or see http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.
Developers work in their own trees, then submit pull requests when they think their feature or bug fix is ready.
If it is a simple/trivial/non-controversial change, then one of the DDirham development team members simply pulls it.
If it is a more complicated or potentially controversial change, then the patch submitter will be asked to start a discussion with the devs and community.
The patch will be accepted if there is broad consensus that it is a good thing.
Developers should expect to rework and resubmit patches if the code doesn't
match the project's coding conventions (see doc/coding.txt) or are
controversial.
The master branch is regularly built and tested, but is not guaranteed to be
completely stable.
Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to submit new unit tests for old code.
Unit tests for the core code are in src/test/. To compile and run them:
cd src; make -f makefile.unix test
Unit tests for the GUI code are in src/qt/test/. To compile and run them:
qmake BITCOIN_QT_TEST=1 -o Makefile.test ddirham-qt.pro
make -f Makefile.test
./ddirham-qt_test
