What is EyeGlass?

EyeGlass is a fully merge-mineable version of Vertcoin using Lyra2RE as a proof-of-work algorithm.

• 2.5 minute block targets
• Before block 2000 - 1 coin + the fees multiplied by 2 Block 2000 - 30000 - 64 coins 30000 to 60000 - 32 coins 60000 to 90000 - 16 coins 90000 to 120000 - 8 coins 120000 - 150000 - 4 coins 150000 - 180000 - 2 coins 180000 - 210000 - 1 coins 210000 - Fees multiplied by 2
• Every block to retarget difficulty with Kimotos Gravity Well algorithm

Development process

Developers work in their own trees, then submit pull requests when they think their feature or bug fix is ready.

If it is a simple/trivial/non-controversial change, then one of the EyeGlass development team members simply pulls it.

If it is a more complicated or potentially controversial change, then the patch submitter will be asked to start a discussion with the devs and community.

The patch will be accepted if there is broad consensus that it is a good thing. Developers should expect to rework and resubmit patches if the code doesn't match the project's coding conventions (see doc/coding.txt) or are controversial.

The master branch is regularly built and tested, but is not guaranteed to be completely stable. Tags are created regularly to indicate new official, stable release versions of EyeGlass.

Testing

Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test. Please be patient and help out, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.

Automated Testing

Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to submit new unit tests for old code.

Unit tests for the core code are in src/test/. To compile and run them:

cd src; make -f makefile.unix test

Unit tests for the GUI code are in src/qt/test/. To compile and run them:

qmake EYEGLASS_QT_TEST=1 -o Makefile.test eyeglass-qt.pro
make -f Makefile.test
./eyeglass-qt_test
