Index Chain is designed from the ground up with a singular focal point: Privacy.
Utilizing privacy protocols informed by industry experts to create cryptosystems specifically designed to facilitate anonymous transactions! It is powered by the Sigma privacy protocol, based on the academic paper One-Out-Of-Many-Proofs: Or How to Leak a Secret and Spend a Coin (Jens Groth and Markulf Kohlweiss). It replaces the RSA accumulators through Pedersen commitments and eliminates the need for a trusted setup.
INDEX CHAIN is designed for user privacy, shielding transactions with anonymous designations while deploying industry leading encryption methods. Index Chain is a complete solution, providing users with a fully private, secure, fast and decentralized solution. Protect your assets and remove banks from the equation. Avoid paying large sums with truly private transactions! You do not have to fear about the blockage of your financial capabilities based on the whims of some power-hungry managers. Index Chain will allow you to become your own bank. You can spend your money safely and privately without leaving a trail of documents marking every step in your life.
We are a community dedicated to privacy. Comprised of consummate professionals with a passion for privacy, our goal is eschewing the age of bank control over personal financial situation and to establish the power of choice. INDEX is the ultimate solution, providing financial freedom coupled with opportunity.
===================
If you are already familiar with Docker, then running Index with Docker might be the the easier method for you. To run Index using this method, first install Docker. After this you may continue with the following instructions.
Please note that we currently don't support the GUI when running with Docker. Therefore, you can only use RPC (via HTTP or the index-cli
utility) to interact with Index via this method.
Pull our latest official Docker image:
docker pull IndexChain/Indexd
Start Index daemon:
docker run --detach --name indexd IndexChain/Indexd
View current block count (this might take a while since the daemon needs to find other nodes and download blocks first):
docker exec indexd index-cli getblockcount
View connected nodes:
docker exec indexd index-cli getpeerinfo
Stop daemon:
docker stop indexd
Backup wallet:
docker cp indexd:/home/indexd/.index/wallet.dat .
Start daemon again:
docker start indexd
