src Provide network parameter IDs as constant strings. Make the "id" field of NetworkParameters private and make the getter upgrade the object using port as a heuristic if the field isn't present. Add a unit test to ensure we can convert old wallets to protobuf form. Resolves issue 134. 2012-02-07 22:34:39 +01:00

AUTHORS Split transaction creation into building a template and then completing it. Completing a tx means adding inputs and possibly a change output to make the transaction valid. Also add a convenience addOutput() overload to Transaction. This makes it easier to create multi-sends. 2012-02-07 21:47:21 +01:00

To get started, ensure you have the latest JDK installed, and download Maven from:

  http://maven.apache.org/

Then run "mvn clean package" to compile the software. You can also run "mvn site:site" to generate a website with
useful information like JavaDocs. The outputs are under the target/ directory.

Now ensure you're running a BitCoin node locally and run the example app:

  mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=com.google.bitcoin.examples.PingService

It will download the block chain and eventually print a BitCoin address. If you send coins to it,
you should get them back a few minutes later when a block is solved.

Note that if you connect to a node that is itself downloading the block chain, you will see very slow progress (1
block per second or less). Find a node that isn't heavily loaded to connect to.

If you get a SocketDisconnectedException, the node you've connected to has its max send buffer set to low
(unfortunately the default is too low). Connect to a node that has a bigger send buffer,
settable by passing -maxsendbuffer=25600 to the Bitcoin C++ software.

To regenerate the protobuf Java sources from src/bitcoin.proto, install the protobuf compiler package version 2.4.x:

  Debian/Ubuntu: apt-get install protobuf-compiler

  Windows: http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/downloads/list

  OSX: install from ports?

and regenerate:

  mvn clean package -DupdateProtobuf

For eclipse use the maven plugin and run:

  mvn eclipse:eclipse
