Skycoin is a next-generation cryptocurrency.
Skycoin improves on Bitcoin in too many ways to be addressed here.
Skycoin is small part of OP Redecentralize and OP Darknet Plan.
For detailed installation instructions, see Installing Skycoin
For linux: sudo apt-get install curl git mercurial make binutils gcc bzr bison libgmp3-dev screen -y
OSX: brew install mercurial bzr
./run.sh -h
*Running Wallet
./run.sh
Then open http://127.0.0.1:6402 in a browser.
In China, use --source=https://github.com/golang/go to bypass firewall when fetching golang source
sudo apt-get install bison curl git mercurial make binutils bison gcc build-essential
bash < <(curl -s -S -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/moovweb/gvm/master/binscripts/gvm-installer)
source $HOME/.gvm/scripts/gvm
gvm install go1.4 --source=https://github.com/golang/go
gvm use go1.4
gvm install go1.6
gvm use go1.6 --default
If you open up new terminal and the go command is not found then add this to .bashrc . GVM should add this automatically
[[ -s "$HOME/.gvm/scripts/gvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.gvm/scripts/gvm"
gvm use go1.6 >/dev/null
The skycoin repo must be in $GOPATH, under "/src/github.com/skycoin". Otherwise golang programs cannot import the libraries.
#pull skycoin repo into the gopath
#note: puts the skycoin folder in $GOPATH/src/github.com/skycoin/skycoin
go get github.com/skycoin/skycoin
#create symlink of the repo
cd $HOME
ln -s $GOPATH/src/github.com/skycoin/skycoin skycoin
go get github.com/robfig/glock
glock sync github.com/skycoin/skycoin
go get ./cmd/skycoin
To update dependencies
glock save github.com/tmcoin002/tmcoin/cmd/skycoin
cd skycoin
screen
go run ./cmd/skycoin/skycoin.go
#then ctrl+A then D to exit screen
#screen -x to reattach screen
Use gvm package set, so repo does not need to be symlinked. Does this have a default option?
gvm pkgset create skycoin
gvm pkgset use skycoin
git clone https://github.com/skycoin/skycoin
cd skycoin
go install
Install Gox:
go get github.com/mitchellh/gox
Compile:
gox --help
gox [options] cmd/skycoin/
Run the skycoin client then

Meshnet reminders
- one way latency
- two way latency (append), latency between packet and ack
- service handler (ability to append services to meshnet)
- uploading bandwidth, latency measurements over time
- end-to-end route instrumentation
