I'm introducing a cryptocurrency for our community called SirajCoin. It will act as the fuel for our global community of developers to engage with me directly by spending it on my attention via hourly meetings and video collaborations.
Sirajcoin
Hello world, it's Sirajcoin!
Sirajcoin is an experiment with two goals:
- add rocket fuel to the growth of our community
- fund AI research in a decentralized way!
Note: this is still very experimental code, and it may be insecure. Please do not pay real money for Sirajcoin.
Installing the Sirajcoin wallet
To send and receive Sirajcoin, you'll need Node.js version 8 or later.
Then in your terminal, run:
npm i -g sirajcoin
If you're having trouble installing, try installing it locally:
mkdir -p ~/.sirajcoin && \
cd ~/.sirajcoin &&
echo {} > package.json &&
npm i sirajcoin &&
export
PATH=$PATH:$PWD/
node_modules/.bin
Getting your first Sirajcoin
First, you'll need to generate a Sirajcoin address.
After you've installed the wallet, you can see your address by running:
$ sirajcoin balance
To get your first Sirajcoin, simply subscribe to the YouTube channel, then post a comment containing your Sirajcoin address on this video, and the Sirajcoin YouTube oracle will automagically grant you 10 Sirajcoin if you've subscribed.
Sending Sirajcoin
To send Sirajcoin to someone, run:
$ sirajcoin send <recipient_address>
#How it works
In short, Sirajcoin is a proof-of-stake cryptocurrency built on top of Tendermint consensus using a library called Lotion, secured by a hand-picked set of community validators.
You can learn more about the technical details and economic design of Sirajcoin
in the Sirajcoin whitepaper.
