What is the INSaNe [INSN] Blockchain?

TODO: Update documentation regarding implemented tech as this section is out of date and much progress and upgrades have been made to mentioned sections...

Overview

INSaNe is a blockchain project with the goal of offering secured messaging, masternodes, and an overall pleasing experience to the user.

Blockchain Technology

The INSaNe [INSN] Blockchain is an experimental smart contract platform protocol that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world in a private, secure manner. INSaNe [INSN] uses peer-to-peer blockchain technology developed by Bitcoin to operate with no central authority: managing transactions, execution of contracts, and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. INSaNe [INSN] is the name of open source software which enables the use of this protocol.

Custom Difficulty Retarget Algorithm “VRX”

VRX is designed from the ground up to integrate properly with the Velocity parameter enforcement system to ensure users no longer receive orphan blocks.

Velocity Block Constraint System

Ensuring Insane stays as secure and robust as possible the CryptoCoderz team have implemented what's known as the Velocity block constraint system. This system acts as third and final check for both mined and peer-accepted blocks ensuring that all parameters are strictly enforced.

Troubleshooting

for basic troubleshooting run the following commands when compiling:

this is for minupnpc errors compiling

make clean -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=-
make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=-

License

INSaNe [INSN] is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.

Development Process

The master branch is regularly built and tested, but is not guaranteed to be completely stable. Tags are created regularly to indicate new official, stable release versions of INSaNe [INSN].

The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md.

The developer mailing list should be used to discuss complicated or controversial changes before working on a patch set.

Developer Discord can be found at https://discord.gg/YjN94vp .

Testing

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.

Automated Testing

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

There are also regression and integration tests of the RPC interface, written in Python, that are run automatically on the build server.

Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing

Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.
