Welcome to lipcoinj
The lipcoinj library is a lightweight wrapper library around the bitcoinj Java library, enabling support for Lipcoin (pull requests for support for other altcoins would be welcomed).
Getting started
To get started, it is best to have the latest JDK and Maven installed. The HEAD of the master branch contains the latest development code.
You should be familiar with bitcoinj first, as this library simply adds minor
changes to extend bitcoinj. Generally using lipcoinj is equivalent to using
bitcoinj, except with different network parameters (reflecting Lipcoin consensus
in place of Bitcoin).
Be aware however that altcoin blocks have their own class, AltcoinBlock, which adds support for features such as AuxPoW.
Building from the command line
To perform a full build use
mvn clean package
You can also run
mvn site:site
to generate a website with useful information like JavaDocs.
The outputs are under the target directory.
Building from an IDE
Alternatively, just import the project using your IDE. IntelliJ has Maven integration built-in and has a free Community Edition. Simply use File | Import Project and locate the pom.xml in the root of the cloned project source tree.
