Sirajcoin

Hello world, it's Sirajcoin!

Sirajcoin is an experiment with two goals:

add rocket fuel to the growth of our community
fund AI research in a decentralized way!

Note: this is still very experimental code, and it may be insecure. Please do not pay real money for Sirajcoin.

Installing the Sirajcoin wallet

To send and receive Sirajcoin, you'll need a mac or linux machine and Node.js version 8 or later.

Windows support should come soon. If you'd like to help with that, many Windows users would appreciate a pull request!

Then in your terminal, run:

$ npm i -g sirajcoin

(You must run this as a non-root user) If you're getting EACCES: permission denied errors, read this to fix them: https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions

If you're on Windows and want to use Sirajcoin, consider spinning up a Digital Ocean droplet and using the wallet via SSH.

Getting your first Sirajcoin

First, you'll need to generate a Sirajcoin address.

After you've installed the wallet, you can see your address by running:

$ sirajcoin balance

To get your first Sirajcoin, simply subscribe to the YouTube channel, then post a comment containing your Sirajcoin address on this video, and the Sirajcoin YouTube oracle will automagically grant you 10 Sirajcoin if you've subscribed.

Sending Sirajcoin

To send Sirajcoin to someone, run:

$ sirajcoin send <recipient_address> <amount>

How it works

In short, Sirajcoin is a proof-of-stake cryptocurrency built on top of Tendermint consensus using a library called Lotion, secured by a hand-picked set of community validators.

You can learn more about the technical details and economic design of Sirajcoin in the Sirajcoin whitepaper.
