Ethereum C++ Client.

By Gav Wood, 2014.

master develop

Ethereum is based on a design in an original whitepaper by Vitalik Buterin. This implementation is based on the formal specification of a refinement of that idea detailed in the 'yellow paper' by Gavin Wood. Contributors, builders and testers include Alex Leverington (Clang & Mac building, client multiplexing), Tim Hughes (MSVC compilation & Dagger testing), Caktux (ongoing CI), Christoph Jentzsch (tests), Christian Reissweiner (Solidity), Marek Kotewicz (external JS & JSON-RPC), Eric Lombrozo (MinGW32 cross-compilation), Marko Simovic (original CI), and several others.

Building

See the Wiki for build instructions, compatibility information and build tips.

To run the tests, make sure you clone the tests repository from github.com/ethereum to tests as a sibling to cpp-ethereum.

Contributing

All development goes in develop branch - please don't submit pull requests to master.

Please read CodingStandards.txt thoroughly before making alterations to the code base. Please do NOT use an editor that automatically reformats whitespace away from astylerc or the formatting guidelines as described in CodingStandards.txt.

When altering eth/spec.json, mirror the changes to eth/eth.js. This should simply be cutting and pasting the relevant part from spec.json into eth.js. Don't alter the spec part from eth.js independently.

eth/abstractethstubserver.h is autogenerated from the jsonrpcstub executable that comes with the libjsonrpc library (json-rpc-cpp project). It shouldn't be maually altered.
