Antimony P2P Crypto

This is an Experimental Software purposely for my School Personal Project.

What is Antimony?

Antimony is a lite version of Bitcoin using scrypt as a proof-of-work algorithm.

2 minute block targets
subsidy halves in 240k blocks (~4 years Approx)
~5 million total coins
25 coins per block
2016 blocks to retarget difficulty

For more information, as well as an immediately useable, binary version of the Antimony client sofware, send me an email at aremeyaw_a@soshgic.edu.gh

HOW TO INSTALL for Windows OS

Release steps and Precautions:

NOTE: Antimony.exe has an inbuilt miner that may be detected by your system as a silent miner. So make sure you disable your Antivirus or add an exclusion for the folder.
Windows Smart Screen May appear saying "Ah! ah! I Blocked a terrible app from destroying your system!" but this is just a result of me not getting or buying a Windows publishing Certificate.

#Skip this step with a very simple process Go to Connect automatically through ActivateNode.bat 3) Last but compulsory thing to set up will be the antimony.conf file in your package folder. This contains active nodes on the network that I couldn't hard code into the application. Just copy and paste the .conf file in the C:\Users\${Your username}\AppData\Roaming\Antimony. It's a hidden folder so just paste this in your file explorer path.

I will be updating a new file called activenodes with new ip's that are active nodes on the network. So if you are not getting connected just copy the new nodes in the activenodes.txt file and paste the contents into your configuration files or the antimony.conf file. In the path of where previous option showed you. That is the C:\Users\${Your username}\AppData\Roaming\Antimony\antimony.conf

To start Mining the coin after starting the application, just open help then debug. Choose console and type in this setgenerate true hit Enter

Boom you have started mining your own ANTYs.

To stop mining just type in the console setgenerate false

Thats it! We just made our own Blockchain and Virtual Currency. Don't be greedy after mining your coins. Make sure to send me some ANTY donations at this address AQXpFQRZ49wwJJsdYuWqS3FjSNLSNmYTyB it will be much appreciated. Linux or specifically Ubuntu Building instructions coming soon. Stay tuned. Thanks Have a nice day.

Connect to a Node

To connect to a specified node from the activenodes file , just open help then debug. Choose console and type in this addnode 192.. onetry replace the 192.. with the specific node hit Enter

Connect automatically through ActivateNode.bat

To connect to the specified node from the activenodes file , just run the ActivateNode.bat file and the node will be connected.

Building from Source

Building from source may require some dependencies. I will add them later. But if you have built bitcoin or litecoin from source, you may have all of them. Clone the v1.2 version tag from the repo using:

git clone -b v1.2 https://github.com/Vitalik-Hakim/antimony.git

This is the latest version that is working.

Build CLI VERSION

To build the daemon version:

cd src
make -f makefile.unix
./antimonyd -server -daemon

This will build the daemon.

Build GUI VERSION

To build the GUI version: Right in the Antimony folder

qmake
make
./antimony-qt
or 
./antimony-qt -testnet
for Testnet

This will build the GUI version of Antimony.

Development process

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 Antimony development team 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. Tags are created regularly to indicate new official, stable release versions of Antimony.

Testing

Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test. Please be patient and help out, 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 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 bitcoin-qt.pro
make -f Makefile.test
./antimony-qt_test
