A rust implementation of SummerTech's in-house decentralized, zero-fee, instant digital currency.

This repository contains a few tools you can use to get started playing around with SummerCash:

• summercash - A Rust library for interacting with the SummerCash network. Gives you full access to all SummerCash features.
• smcd - The SummerCash daemon. This is a service that is designed to run with zero use interaction, all while maintaining a constant, up-to-date connection to the global SummerCash network.
• smcli - The SummerCash command-line client. Lets you give directions to a smcd instance (e.g. create an account, issue a transaction, etc...)

The latter of these two tools can be installed with cargo install summercash --bin smcd / cargo install summercash --bin smcli, while the SummerCash library can be installed by simply adding SummerCash as a dependency in your Cargo.toml file as such:

summercash = "0.1.0"

Alternatively, install all three of these tools by running the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/SummerCash/rust-summercash && cd rust-summercash
cargo install --path .

After running this sequence of commands, smcd and smcli will be available for use from the $PATH, provided that ~/.cargo/bin is in such an environment variable.

To get started with rust-summercash, make sure you've got an up-to-date installation of smcd and smcli installed locally. Then, start the SummerCash node daemon by running:

smcd

and create an account by calling smcli create account. If you wish to encrypt your private key file, run smcli lock account <address>.

Should one wish to send a transaction from this new account, use smcli create transaction <address created in last step> <recipient address> <number of finks> <message>. Keep in mind, values of SMC are expressed in finks, where 1000000000000000000 finks = 1 SMC.

After having created a transaction, one must first sign and then publish this transaction. This can be achieved through the following sequence of commands:

smcli sign transaction <hash> <sender address>
smcli publish transaction <hash>
