🐗 Warthog Reference Implementation

Welcome to Warthog!

Warthog is an experimental L1-cryptocurrency implementation without specific focus. This project is not a dumb fork of something else. It was developed completely from scratch!

💵 Tokenomics

We are a cryptocurrency for the community where everyone can revive again the good old days when crypto was fun. Therefore we have decided to be free of 💩bullshit:

  • 👍 No Premine
  • 🤟 No Team/Dev fund
  • 😊 100% of supply is publicly mineable

The block chain has the following characteristics:

  • 1️⃣ Coin unit: 1 WART
  • ⏲ Block time: 20s
  • 💰 Initial block reward: 3 WART
  • 🧮 Precision: 0.00000001 WART (8 digits)
  • 🔪 Halving: ~ every 2 years
  • 🔒 Supply hard cap : 18921599.68464 (~19m) WART

💣 A word of caution

This is new software. Almost everything was implemented from scratch. There may be bugs. Use at your own risk.

📦 Component overview

This Repo

  • Reference node implementation of the Warthog Network
  • Command line wallet software

Miner

  • GPU/CPU Miner for JanusHash here

Additional Tools:

💻 Installation

Prebuilt binaries of the node daemon and cli wallet for Linux and Windows can be downloaded here. They are staticlly linked and will just work without external dependencies.

Prebuilt binaries of the miner for Linux and HiveOS can be downloaded here

To compile from source see below or here for a more detailed guide.

😵‍💫 BUILD INSTRUCTIONS

Linux Native Build

System Requirements

  • Linux
  • gcc11 or newer
  • meson
  • ninja

Required Steps

  • Install gcc, meson, ninja: apt install meson ninja-build build-essential
  • Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/ByPumbaa/Warthog
  • cd into the repo: cd Warthog
  • Create build directory: meson build . (meson build . --buildtype=release for better performance)
  • cd into build directory: cd build
  • Compile using ninja: ninja

Docker build (node and wallet)

System Requirements

  • Linux
  • Docker

Build for Linux

  • Run DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build . -f dockerfiles/build_linux --output build in the repo directory.

Build for Windows (cross-compilation on Linux)

  • Run DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build . -f dockerfiles/build_windows --output ./build/windows in the repo.
  • Windows binaries are located in ./build/windows directory.

Build for MacOS - aarch64 (cross-compilation on Linux)

  • Run DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build . -f dockerfiles/build_macos --output ./build/macos in the repo.
  • MacOS binaries are located in ./build/macos directory.

▶️ USAGE

  • Run the node (use some restarter in case it crashes)
    One line example to run the node: screen -dmS wart_node bash -c "while true; do ./wart-node-linux ; done"
    Use screen -r wart_node to see its output and CTRL+A+D to detach from the screen session.
    Note: You should run node with --rpc=0.0.0.0:3000 to accept remote connections from your other rigs.
  • Run the miner (miner requires node running). More detailed information how to set up and run the miner you can find here.
  • Optional: Run the wallet to send funds (wallet requires node running)
  • Good luck and have fun! Use --help the option.

NOTE: This is a highly experimental project not backed by any institution or foundation. It relies on the work of voluntaries who have no obligation to do work for the project. People can join and leave any time at their will.
