VerusCoin is a new, mineable and stakeable cryptocurrency. It is a live fork of Komodo that retains its Zcash lineage and improves it. VerusCoin will leverage the Komodo platform and dPoW notarization for enhanced security and cross-chain interoperability. We have added a variation of a zawy12, lwma difficulty algorithm, a new CPU-optimized hash algorithm and a new algorithm for fair proof of stake. We describe these changes and vision going forward in a [our Phase I white paper](http://185.25.51.16/papers/VerusPhaseI.pdf) and [our Vision](http://185.25.51.16/papers/VerusVision.pdf).

This version of Komodo contains Bitcore support for komodo and all its assetchains.
This is the official Komodo sourcecode repository based on https://github.com/jl777/komodo.
## Komodod
This software is the VerusCoin enhanced Komodo client. Generally, you will use this if you want to mine VRSC or setup a full node. When you run the wallet it launches komodod automatically. On first launch it downloads Zcash parameters, roughly 1GB, which is mildly slow.
The wallet downloads and stores the block chain or asset chain of the coin you select. It downloads and stores the entire history of the coins transactions; depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process could take a day or more once the blockchain has reached a significant size.

- Tokens/Assets Technology - create "colored coins" on the Komodo Platform and use them as a layer for securites
- Reward API - Komodo CC technology for securities
- CC - Crypto Conditions to realize "smart contract" logic on top of the Komodo Platform
- Jumblr - Decentralized tumbler for KMD and other cryptocurrencies
- Assetchains - Create your own Blockchain that inherits all Komodo Platform functionalities and blockchain interoperability
- Pegged Assets - Chains that maintain a peg to fiat currencies
- Peerchains - Scalability solution where sibling chains form a network of blockchains
- More in depth covered [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AbhWrtagu4vYdkl-vsWz-HSNyNvK-W-ZasHCqe7CZy0)
- Also note you receive 5% APR on your holdings.

This software is based on zcash and considered experimental and is continously undergoing heavy development.
First time you'll need to get assorted startup values downloaded. This takes a moderate amount of time once but then does not need to be repeated unless you bring a new system up. The command is:
```
The dev branch is considered the bleeding edge codebase while the master-branch is considered tested (unit tests, runtime tests, functionality). At no point of time do the Komodo Platform developers take any responsbility for any damage out of the usage of this software.
Komodo builds for all operating systems out of the same codebase. Follow the OS specific instructions from below.
# -j8 = using 8 threads for the compilation - replace 8 with number of threads you want to use
./zcutil/build.sh -j8
#This can take some time.
```
Building for Ubunutu/Mint:
```
./zcutil/build.sh
```
Building for Mac OS/X (see README-MAC.md):
```
./zcutil/build-mac.sh
```
Building for Windows:
```
./zcutil/build-win.sh
```
VerusCoin
------
We develop on dev and some other branches and produce releases of of the master branch, using pull requests to manage what goes into master. The dev branch is considered the bleeding edge codebase, and may even be oncompatible from time to time, while the master-branch is considered tested (unit tests, runtime tests, functionality). At no point of time do the Komodo Platform developers or Verus Developers take any responsbility for any damage out of the usage of this software.
Verus builds for all operating systems out of the same codebase. Follow the OS specific instructions from below.
#### OSX
Ensure you have [brew](https://brew.sh) and the command line tools installed (comes automatically with XCode) and run:
# -j8 = using 8 threads for the compilation - replace 8 with number of threads you want to use
./zcutil/build.sh -j8
./zcutil/build-win.sh -j8
#This can take some time.

To reset the Komodo blockchain change into the *~/.komodo* data directory and delete the corresponding files by running `rm -rf blocks chainstate debug.log komodostate db.log`
**The VerusCoin enhanced komodo is experimental and a work-in-progress.** Use at your own risk.
#### Create komodo.conf
Create a komodo.conf file:
#To view komodod output:
tail -f ~/.komodo/debug.log
#To view VRSC output:
tail -f ~/.komodo/VRSC/debug.log
Note that this directory is correct for Linux, not Mac or Windows
#To view all command
./src/komodo-cli help
**Zcash is unfinished and highly experimental.** Use at your own risk.
```
mkdir ~/.komodo
cd ~/.komodo
touch komodo.conf
#Add the following lines to the komodo.conf file:

### Create your own Blockchain based on Komodo
Komodo allows anyone to create a runtime fork which represents an independent Blockchain. Below are the detailed instructions:
Setup two independent servers with at least 1 server having a static IP and build komodod on those servers.
There is a small chance that an outbound transaction will give an error due to mismatched values in wallet calculations. There is a -exchange option that you can run komodod with, but make sure to have the entire transaction history under the same -exchange mode. Otherwise you will get wallet conflicts.
**To change modes:**
a) backup all privkeys (launch komodod with `-exportdir=<path>` and `dumpwallet`)
b) start a totally new sync including `wallet.dat`, launch with same `exportdir`
c) stop it before it gets too far and import all the privkeys from a) using `komodo-cli importwallet filename`
d) resume sync till it gets to chaintip
