Introduction

Intense Coin is a private, secure, untraceable, decentralised digital currency. You are your bank, you control your funds, and nobody can trace your transfers unless you allow them to do so.

Privacy: Intense Coin uses a cryptographically sound system to allow you to send and receive funds without your transactions being easily revealed on the blockchain (the ledger of transactions that everyone has). This ensures that your purchases, receipts, and all transfers remain absolutely private by default.

Security: Using the power of a distributed peer-to-peer consensus network, every transaction on the network is cryptographically secured. Individual wallets have a 25 word mnemonic seed that is only displayed once, and can be written down to backup the wallet. Wallet files are encrypted with a passphrase to ensure they are useless if stolen.

Untraceability: By taking advantage of ring signatures, a special property of a certain type of cryptography, Intense Coin is able to ensure that transactions are not only untraceable, but have an optional measure of ambiguity that ensures that transactions cannot easily be tied back to an individual user or computer.

About this Project

This is the core implementation of Intense Coin. It is open source and completely free to use without restrictions, except for those specified in the license agreement below. There are no restrictions on anyone creating an alternative implementation of Intense Coin that uses the protocol and network in a compatible manner.

As with many development projects, the repository on Github is considered to be the "staging" area for the latest changes. Before changes are merged into that branch on the main repository, they are tested by individual developers in their own branches, submitted as a pull request, and then subsequently tested by contributors who focus on testing and code reviews. That having been said, the repository should be carefully considered before using it in a production environment, unless there is a patch in the repository for a particular show-stopping issue you are experiencing. It is generally a better idea to use a tagged release for stability.

Anyone is welcome to contribute to Intense Coin's codebase! If you have a fix or code change, feel free to submit it as a pull request directly to the "master" branch. In cases where the change is relatively small or does not affect other parts of the codebase it may be merged in immediately by any one of the collaborators. On the other hand, if the change is particularly large or complex, it is expected that it will be discussed at length either well in advance of the pull request being submitted, or even directly on the pull request.

  emerge dev-qt/qtmultimedia:5 media-gfx/zbar

Build the GUI

For Ubuntu and Mint

./build.sh
For Gentoo

QT_SELECT=5 ./build.sh

The executable can be found in the build/release/bin folder.

On OS X:

Install Xcode from AppStore
Install homebrew
Install intensecoinwallet dependencies:

brew install boost --c++11

brew install openssl - to install openssl headers

brew install pkgconfig

brew install cmake

brew install qt5 (or download QT 5.8+ from qt.io)

If you have an older version of Qt installed via homebrew, you can force it to use 5.x like so:

brew link --force --overwrite qt5

Add the Qt bin directory to your path

Example: export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/Qt/5.8/clang_64/bin

This is the directory where Qt 5.x is installed on your system

git clone https://github.com/valiant1x/intensecoinwallet.git

Go into the repository

cd intensecoinwallet

Start the build

./build.sh

The executable can be found in the build/release/bin folder.

Note: Workaround for "ERROR: Xcode not set up properly"

Edit $HOME/Qt/5.8/clang_64/mkspecs/features/mac/default_pre.prf

replace isEmpty($$list($$system("/usr/bin/xcrun -find xcrun 2>/dev/null")))

with isEmpty($$list($$system("/usr/bin/xcrun -find xcodebuild 2>/dev/null")))

On Windows:

Install msys2, follow the instructions on that page on how to update packages to the latest versions
Install Intense Coin dependencies as described in Intense Coin documentation into msys2 environment As we only build application for x86, install only dependencies for x86 architecture (i686 in package name)
```
pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-toolchain make mingw-w64-i686-cmake mingw-w64-i686-boost
```
Install git into msys2 environment
```
pacman -S git
```
Install Qt5 from official site
- download unified installer, run and select following options:
  - Qt > Qt 5.7 > MinGW 5.3.0 32 bit
  - Tools > MinGW 5.3.0
- continue with installation
Open MinGW-w64 Win32 Shell shell

%MSYS_ROOT%\msys2_shell.cmd -mingw32

Where %MSYS_ROOT% will be c:\msys32 if your host OS is x86-based or c:\msys64 if your host OS is x64-based

Install the latest version of boost, specificly the required static libraries

cd
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.63.0/boost_1_63_0.tar.bz2
tar xjf boost_1_63_0.tar.bz2
cd boost_1_63_0
./bootstrap.sh mingw
