Gitcoin

The furturistic and revolutionizing next-generation cryptocurrency built for developers, by developers.

Installation

pip install gitcoin

Usage

First, set up your public and private key to officially mark your entrance into Gitcoin.

gitcoin keypair gen

Next, you may start mining to obtain Gitcoins

gitcoin mine

With Gitcoins now in your balance, you may initiate transactions with other users in the network. Transactions are made to another user via their public key, followed by the desired amount. This (destination, amount) pair may continue indefinitely, ended with a custom amount of transaction fee (default is 1). After your transaction is validated by miners, incentivized by your generous (or not) fee, you are now officially part of the Gitcoin blockchain that will go down in history, forever and ever!

gitcoin pay <public-key> <amount>
