commit e21034f9c124893d5b9631e9ca231b0b9ede3d52

Changes are as below:

Wrap CBlockHeader::nVersion into a new class (CBlockVersion).  This allows to take care of interpreting the field into a base version, auxpow flag and the chain ID.

Update getauxblock.py for new 'generate' RPC call.

Add 'auxpow' to block JSON.

Accept auxpow as PoW verification.

Add unit tests for auxpow verification.

Add check for memory-layout of CBlockVersion.

Weaken auxpow chain ID checks for the testnet.

Allow Params() to overrule when to check the auxpow chain ID and for legacy blocks.  Use this to disable the checks on testnet.

Introduce CPureBlockHeader.

Split the block header part that is used by auxpow and the "real" block header (that uses auxpow) to resolve the cyclic dependency between the two.

Differentiate between uint256 and arith_uint256.

This change was done upstream, modify the auxpow code.

Add missing lock in auxpow_tests.

Fix REST header check for auxpow headers.

Those can be longer, thus take that into account.  Also perform the check actually on an auxpow header.

Correctly set the coinbase for getauxblock results.

Call IncrementExtraNonce in getauxblock so that the coinbase is actually initialised with the stuff it should be.  (BIP30 block height and COINBASE_FLAGS.)

Implement getauxblock plus regression test.

Turn auxpow test into FIXTURE test.

This allows using of the Params() calls.

Move CMerkleTx code to auxpow.cpp.

Otherwise we get linker errors when building without wallet.

Fix rebase with BIP66.

Update the code to handle BIP66's nVersion=3.

Enforce that auxpow parent blocks have no auxpow block version.

This is for compatibility with namecoind.  See also https://github.com/namecoin/namecoin/pull/199.

Move auxpow-related parameters to Consensus::Params.

Dogecoin Core [DOGE, Ð]

==========================

Dogecoin

Build Status tip for next commit

What is Dogecoin? Such coin

Dogecoin is a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin, although it does not use SHA256 as its proof of work (POW). Taking development cues from Tenebrix and Litecoin, Dogecoin currently employs a simplified variant of scrypt.

http://dogecoin.com/

License Much license

Dogecoin is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.

Development and contributions omg developers

Development is ongoing, and the development team, as well as other volunteers, can freely work in their own trees and submit pull requests when features or bug fixes are ready.

Version strategy

Version numbers are following major.minor.patch semantics.

Branches

There are 3 types of branches in this repository:

  • master: Stable, contains the latest version of the latest major.minor release.
  • maintenance: Stable, contains the latest version of previous releases, which are still under active maintenance. Format: <version>-maint
  • development: Unstable, contains new code for planned releases. Format: <version>-dev

Master and maintenance branches are exclusively mutable by release. Planned releases will always have a development branch and pull requests should be submitted against those. Maintenance branches are there for bug fixes only, please submit new features against the development branch with the highest version.

Very Much Frequently Asked Questions

How much doge can exist? So many puppies!

Early 2015 (approximately a year and a half after release) there will be approximately 100,000,000,000 coins. Each subsequent block will grant 10,000 coins to encourage miners to continue to secure the network and make up for lost wallets on hard drives/phones/lost encryption passwords/etc.

How to get doge? To the moon!

Dogecoin uses a simplified variant of the scrypt key derivation function as its proof of work with a target time of one minute per block and difficulty readjustment after every block. The block rewards are fixed and halve every 100,000 blocks. Starting with the 600,000th block, a permanent reward of 10,000 Dogecoin per block will be paid.

Originally, a different payout scheme was envisioned with block rewards being determined by taking the maximum reward as per the block schedule and applying the result of a Mersenne Twister pseudo-random number generator to arrive at a number between 0 and the maximum reward. This was changed, starting with block 145,000, to prevent large pools from gaming the system and mining only high reward blocks. At the same time, the difficulty retargeting was also changed from four hours to once per block (every minute), implementing an algorithm courtesy of the DigiByte Coin development team, to lessen the impact of sudden increases and decreases of network hashing rate.

The current block reward schedule:

199,999: 01,000,000 Dogecoin

100,000144,999: 0500,000 Dogecoin

145,000199,999: 250,000 Dogecoin

Wow plz make dogecoind/dogecoin-cli/dogecoin-qt

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

Translations

Changes to translations, as well as new translations, can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.

Periodically the translations are pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.

If the changes are Dogecoin specific, they can be submitted as pull requests against this repository. If it is a general translation, consider submitting it through upstream, as we will pull these changes later on.

Development tips and tricks

compiling for debugging

Run configure with the --enable-debug option, then make. Or run configure with CXXFLAGS="-g -ggdb -O0" or whatever debug flags you need.

debug.log

If the code is behaving strangely, take a look in the debug.log file in the data directory; error and debugging messages are written there.

The -debug=... command-line option controls debugging; running with just -debug will turn on all categories (and give you a very large debug.log file).

The Qt code routes qDebug() output to debug.log under category "qt": run with -debug=qt to see it.

testnet and regtest modes

Run with the -testnet option to run with "play dogecoins" on the test network, if you are testing multi-machine code that needs to operate across the internet.

If you are testing something that can run on one machine, run with the -regtest option. In regression test mode, blocks can be created on-demand; see qa/rpc-tests/ for tests that run in -regtest mode.

DEBUG_LOCKORDER

Dogecoin Core is a multithreaded application, and deadlocks or other multithreading bugs can be very difficult to track down. Compiling with -DDEBUG_LOCKORDER (configure CXXFLAGS="-DDEBUG_LOCKORDER -g") inserts run-time checks to keep track of which locks are held, and adds warnings to the debug.log file if inconsistencies are detected.
