Spectrecoin is a Secure Proof-of-Stake (PoSv3) Network with Anonymous Transaction Capability.

Spectrecoin utilizes a range of proven cryptographic techniques to achieve un-linkable, un-traceable and anonymous transactions on its underlaying blockchain and also protects the users identity by running all the network nodes as Tor hidden services.

Anonymous token creation: Through the use of dual key stealth technology Spectrecoin provides the ability to generate ‘anonymous tokens’ (SPECTRE) by consuming XSPEC. SPECTRE can then be sent anonymously through an implementation of ring signatures based on the Cryptonote protocol to eliminate any transaction history. The wallet offers the opportunity to transfer your balance between public coins, XSPEC, and ‘anonymous tokens’, SPECTRE. We are currently working on improving this technology to improve functionality and privacy.

Built in Tor: The Spectrecoin software offers a full integration of Tor (https://www.torproject.org/) so that the Spectrecoin client runs exclusive as a Tor hidden service using a .onion address to connect to other clients in the network. Your real IP address is therefore protected at all times.

NOTE that these instructions are relevant for building from master, which is the latest code in development. It is generally stable but can contain features that have had less testing than released versions. If you want to build a stable version of Spectrecoin, please check out the latest release tag before you start building.

To build the Spectrecoin wallet from source, you will need the following dependencies:

• OpenSSL 1.1
• libevent
• libseccomp
• libcap
• boost
• tor & obfs4proxy (since 2.1.0 tor is run as separate process and thus tor is only a runtime dependency)
• Qt 5 with Qt Webengine if you want to build the GUI wallet. Qt is not needed for the console wallet.

Additionally, you'll need the native C/C++ compiler for your platform and the basic dependencies needed for any kind of development. Because of Qt Webengine cross compiling is currently not possible:

• macOS - Xcode with Command Line Tools and clang, QTs QMAKE
• Windows - vcpkg and MSVC, QTs QMAKE
• Linux - GCC

The Windows wallet is build with QTs QMAKE. Instructions are found in separate doc at https://github.com/spectrecoin/spectre/blob/master/doc/Windows-build-instructions-README.md

To check all dependencies and install missing ones on macOS (this uses the Homebrew package manager; if you use something else then adjust the commands accordingly):

brew install autoconf automake libtool pkg-config [email protected] libevent boost gcc wget

The macOS wallet itself is build with QTs QMAKE. See https://github.com/spectrecoin/spectre/blob/develop/src/osx.pri for instructions.

Check the dockerfile of your corresponding platform for which packages must be installed using the package manager:

To build Spectrecoin (build time dependencies):

• Debian - https://github.com/spectrecoin/spectre-builder/blob/develop/Debian/Dockerfile
• Fedora - https://github.com/spectrecoin/spectre-builder/blob/develop/Fedora/Dockerfile
• RasperryPi - https://github.com/spectrecoin/spectre-builder/blob/develop/RaspberryPi/Dockerfile
• Ubuntu - https://github.com/spectrecoin/spectre-builder/blob/develop/Ubuntu/Dockerfile

To run Spectrecoin (run time dependencies):

• Debian - https://github.com/spectrecoin/spectre-base/blob/develop/Debian/Dockerfile
• Fedora - https://github.com/spectrecoin/spectre-base/blob/develop/Fedora/Dockerfile
• RasperryPi - https://github.com/spectrecoin/spectre-base/blob/develop/RaspberryPi/Dockerfile
• Ubuntu - https://github.com/spectrecoin/spectre-base/blob/develop/Ubuntu/Dockerfile

To fetch the source code and build the wallet run the following commands:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/spectrecoin/spectre
cd spectre
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-gui
make -j2  # Use a higher number if you have many cores and memory, leave
          # '-j2' out if you are on a very low-powered system like Raspberry Pi

The resulting binaries will be in the src directory and called spectre for the GUI wallet and spectrecoind for the console wallet.

Distribution specfic instructions are found in the corresponding dockerfile. See https://github.com/spectrecoin/spectre/tree/develop/Docker

We provide a ready to run Docker image, which is mainly build out of another Git repository. For details see docker-spectrecoind

As long as cross compiling is not possible (due to QtWebEngine) we build the binaries for different Linux distributions using different Docker images.

Actually it is not possible to use this mechanism locally out of the box, as the binaries stay inside the created image.

More documentation regarding how to use will be on our Wiki.
