Tech Specification

About this Project

Pirate Chain (ARRR) is a 100% private send cryptocurrency. It uses a privacy protocol that cannot be compromised by other users activity on the network. Most privacy coins are riddled with holes created by optional privacy. Pirate Chain uses zk-SNARKs to shield 100% of the peer to peer transactions on the blockchain making for highly anonymous and private transactions.

Getting started

Build the code as described below. To see instructions on how to construct and send an offline transaction look at README_offline_transaction_signing.md

A list of outstanding improvements is included in README_todo.md

Build Pirate

This software is based on zcash and considered experimental and is continuously undergoing heavy development.

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 Pirate developers take any responsibility for any damage out of the usage of this software. Pirate builds for all operating systems out of the same codebase. Follow the OS specific instructions from below.

Linux

git clone https://github.com/PirateNetwork/pirate --branch master
cd pirate
# This step is not required for when using the Qt GUI
./zcutil/fetch-params.sh

# -j8 = using 8 threads for the compilation - replace 8 with number of threads you want to use; -j$(nproc) for all threads available

#For CLI binaries
./zcutil/build.sh -j8

#For qt GUI binaries
./zcutil/build-qt-linux.sh -j8

#If you get this compile error:
qt/moc_addressbookpage.cpp:142:1: error: ‘QT_INIT_METAOBJECT’ does not name a type
  142 | QT_INIT_METAOBJECT const QMetaObject AddressBookPage::staticMetaObject = { {
      | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  146 | QT_INIT_METAOBJECT const QMetaObject ZAddressBookPage::staticMetaObject = { {
      | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Qt is incompatible with the libgl library.
Remove library: sudo apt-get remove libgl-dev
Install libraries: sudo apt-get install mesa-common-dev libglu1-mesa-dev

OSX

Ensure you have brew and the command line tools installed (comes automatically with XCode) and run:

brew update
brew upgrade
brew tap discoteq/discoteq; brew install flock
brew install autoconf autogen automake gcc@9 binutilsprotobuf coreutils wget python3
git clone https://github.com/PirateNetwork/pirate --branch master
cd pirate

# -j8 = using 8 threads for the compilation - replace 8 with number of threads you want to use; -j$(nproc) for all threads available

#For CLI binaries
./zcutil/build-mac.sh -j8

./zcutil/build-qt-mac.sh -j8

Windows

Use a debian cross-compilation setup with mingw for windows and run:

Dependencies (Ubuntu 20.04)

Pirate is experimental and a work-in-progress. Use at your own risk.

To run the Pirate GUI wallet:

Linux pirate-qt-linux

OSX pirate-qt-mac

Windows pirate-qt-win.exe

To run the daemon for Pirate Chain:
pirated both pirated and pirate-cli are located in the src directory after successfully building

To reset the Pirate Chain blockchain change into the ~/.komodo/PIRATE data directory and delete the corresponding files by running rm -rf blocks chainstate debug.log komodostate db.log and restart daemon

To initiate a bootstrap download on the GUI wallet add bootstrap=1 to the PIRATE.conf file.

Pirate is based on Komodo which is unfinished and highly experimental. Use at your own risk.
