### Welcome to altcoinj
|
|
|
|
The altcoinj library (forked from [libdohj](https://github.com/dogecoin/libdohj)) is a lightweight
|
|
Java library around [bitcoinj](https://bitcoinj.github.io/),
|
|
with updated support for Litecoin and Dogecoin.
|
|
|
|
Pull requests for support for other altcoins would be welcomed.
|
|
|
|
### Getting started
|
|
|
|
You should be familiar with [bitcoinj](https://bitcoinj.github.io/) first, as this library simply adds minor
|
|
changes to extend bitcoinj. Generally using altcoinj is equivalent to using
|
|
bitcoinj, except with different network parameters (reflecting altcoin consensus
|
|
in place of Bitcoin).
|
|
|
|
Be aware however that altcoin blocks have their own class, AltcoinBlock, which
|
|
adds support for features such as AuxPoW.
|
|
|
|
To use altcoinj in your own project, just add the following to your gradle.build file:
|
|
```
|
|
repositories {
|
|
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
|
|
}
|
|
dependencies {
|
|
compile 'com.github.jjos2372:altcoinj:f26e20bb13'
|
|
compile 'org.bitcoinj:bitcoinj-core:0.15.6'
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For maven, sbt, and leiningen check [jitpack](https://jitpack.io/#jjos2372/altcoinj).
|
|
|
|
#### Building from the command line
|
|
|
|
Simply run on the command line
|
|
```
|
|
./gradlew jar
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The outputs are under the `build` directory.
|
|
|
|
#### Building from an IDE
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, just import the project on your preferred IDE as a *gradle* project.
