GGCRYPTO is based on CryptoNote. This is the repository to explore the codebase of the blockchain.

Setting up a node and wallet on Ubuntu 14.04

You can get one Virtual Machine in the cloud with many well known providers:

Rackspace
AWS EC2
Google Compute Engine
Alibaba Cloud
Digital Ocean
And more rougly $30 usd a month

Tested with 4GB ram and above.

Shell into your server with either SSH keys (preferred) or username and password. Try Chrome Secure Shell which is a SSH addon for Chrome.

Setting up

Install the build dependencies running this command:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get install build-essential git cmake libboost1.55-all-dev

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/ggcrypto/ggcrypto

Build

cd ggcrypto; make

Link to path

mkdir $HOME/bin
cd $HOME/bin
ln -s $HOME/ggcrypto/build/release/src/simplewallet ggcryptowallet
ln -s $HOME/ggcrypto/build/release/src/ggcryptod
ln -s $HOME/ggcrypto/build/release/src/walletd

Run

ggcryptod to start a node
ggcryptowallet to start you wallet

Mining

Inside ggcryptowallet shell type:

start_mining

Profit!

Terminal Split Screen & Keep Alive

I suggest using TMUX which can be installed using sudo apt-get install -y tmux

To start TMUX: tmux new

You can press:

CTRL + B, ARROW_KEY
CTRL + B, %
CTRL + B, "

to split and navigate windows

Closing the shell running a TMUX instance does not close TMUX so this is a great way to run both the node and the wallet indefinately.
