Installation

Install and run (Linux):

• Install dependencies:

    $ sudo dnf install git gcc openssl-devel
    or
    $ sudo apt-get install git gcc libssl-dev
  

• Clone from the git repository:

    $ git clone https://github.com/XDagger/xdag
  

• Make:

    $ cd xdag/client
    $ make
  

• or automake

    $ cd xdag/automake
    $ autoreconf -if
    $ ./configure
    $ make
  

• Run, for example, the miner with 2 CPU mining threads, in daemon mode, connected to the pool put.xdag.server.here:13654

    $ ./xdag -m 2 -d put.xdag.server.here:13654
    Enter random characters: [enter]
  

• Already have an account

    Put your wallet.dat, dnet_key.dat and storage folder in this folder.
    Then run below command
    $./xdag -m 2 -d put.xdag.server.here:13654
  

• Run terminal connected to the daemon in the same folder:

    $ ./xdag -i
    xdag> help
    [see help]
  

• See if you are connected to the pool:

    xdag> state
    [see state]
  

• See your balance:

    xdag> balance
    [balance]
  

• See your address:

    xdag> account
    [address]
  

• Transfer funds to another address:

    xdag> xfer [amount] [address]
  

Run (Mac OS):

• Install: Download binary file from release page.
  Unzip the zip file to what folder you want.

• Run, for example, the miner with 2 CPU mining threads, in daemon mode, connected to the pool put.xdag.server.here:13654

    $ ./xdag -m 2 -d put.xdag.server.here:13654
    Enter random characters: [enter]

Build (Mac OS):

• Install dependencies:

    $ brew install openssl
    $ ln -s /usr/local/opt/openssl/include/openssl /usr/local/include
    $ ln -s /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib /usr/local/lib/
  

• Make

    $ cd xdag/client
    $ make
  

Setup a pool

To be continue

Setup test environment

• Modify code Change #define PREVENT_AUTO_REFRESH 0 to #define PREVENT_AUTO_REFRESH 1 in netdb.c

• Build Build your own version.

• Setup internal testnet
  1. Plan your testnet topology.
  2. Modify netdb-testnet.txt and netdb-white-testnet.txt with your IPs.
  3. Launch your hosts with -t option.
  4. Launch your miner/wallet with -t option.
  5. Currently only command line miner/wallet able to join testnet.
