Peercoin

Setup

Peercoin is the original Peercoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Peercoin transactions (which is currently less than one gigabyte); depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.

To download Peercoin, visit peercoin.net.

Running

The following are some helpful notes on how to run Peercoin on your native platform.

Unix

Unpack the files into a directory and run:

  • bin/peercoin-qt (GUI) or
  • bin/peercoind (headless)

Windows

Unpack the files into a directory, and then run peercoin-qt.exe.

macOS

Drag Peercoin to your applications folder, and then run Peercoin.

Need Help?

  • See the documentation at the Peercoin Wiki for help and more information.
  • Peercoin is very similar to bitcoin, so you can use their wiki Bitcoin Wiki.
  • Ask for help on #general on peercoin.chat.

Building

The following are developer notes on how to build Peercoin on your native platform. They are not complete guides, but include notes on the necessary libraries, compile flags, etc.

Development

The Peercoin repo's root README contains relevant information on the development process and automated testing.
