DEPRECATED

The full node reference implementation was rewritten in Rust, as a result, the Go implementation is now deprecated.

PLEASE NOTE: Any pull requests or issues that will be opened in this repository will be closed without treatment, except for issues or pull requests related to the astrixwallet, which remains maintained. In any other case, please use the Rust implementation instead.

Astrixd

Astrixd was the reference full node Astrix implementation written in Go (golang).

What is astrix

Astrix is an attempt at a proof-of-work cryptocurrency with instant confirmations and sub-second block times. It is based on the PHANTOM protocol, a generalization of Nakamoto consensus.

Requirements

Go 1.19 or later.

Installation

Build from Source

• Install Go according to the installation instructions here: http://golang.org/doc/install

• Ensure Go was installed properly and is a supported version:

$ go version

• Run the following commands to obtain and install astrixd including all dependencies:

$ git clone https://github.com/astrix-network/astrixd
$ cd astrixd
$ go install . ./cmd/...

• Astrixd (and utilities) should now be installed in $(go env GOPATH)/bin. If you did not already add the bin directory to your system path during Go installation, you are encouraged to do so now.

Astrixd is a full-node astrix implementation written in Go.

The default options are sane for most users. This means astrixd will work 'out of the box' for most users. However, there are also a wide variety of flags that can be used to control it.

Usage:

astrixd [OPTIONS]

For an up-to-date help message:

astrixd --help

The long form of all option flags (except -C) can be specified in a configuration file that is automatically parsed when astrixd starts up. By default, the configuration file is located at ~/.astrixd/astrixd.conf on POSIX-style operating systems and %LOCALAPPDATA%\astrixd\astrixd.conf on Windows. The -C (--configfile) flag can be used to override this location.
