TLDR

Minimal Python tools and educational material for checking inflation in Monero. You can get more information at moneroinflation.com.

What is it?

MIC offers minimal Python tools to check transactions, emission curve, ring signatures, zero-knowledge proofs and others to prove that there is no inflation happening in Monero.

The tools here are just for educational purposes. They are not ready for production.

Installation and requirements

Please install the required packages inside a new virtual environment with:

python3 -m venv .vmic

source .vmic/bin/activate

pip install -r requirements.txt

There are two options to use the MIC verifier.

  1. Using your own full node. The standard connection parameters are:

username,password = 'username','password'

rpc_connection = AuthServiceProxy(service_url='http://{0}:{1}@127.0.0.1:18081/json_rpc'.format(username, password))

  1. Using a public node. The standard public node is from Seth for Privacy ('http://node.sethforprivacy.com:18089/')

You can change the connection parameters at 'com_db.py' according to your needs.

Running MIC

After installing the required packages, you can simply type:

python3 MIC.py
