RevPop Core is the RevPop blockchain implementation and command-line interface.
A Dockerfile can be used to build and run a fully functional blockchain node. Refer to the instructions.
Build instructions and additional documentation are available in the Wiki.
We recommend building on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (64-bit)
Build Dependencies:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install autoconf cmake make automake libtool git libboost-all-dev libssl-dev g++ libcurl4-openssl-dev doxygen
Build Script:
git clone https://github.com/Revolution-Populi/revpop-core.git
cd revpop-core
git checkout master # may substitute "master" with current release tag
git submodule update --init --recursive
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make
Upgrade Script: (prepend to the Build Script above if you built a prior release):
git remote set-url origin https://github.com/Revolution-Populi/revpop-core.git
git checkout master
git remote set-head origin --auto
git pull
git submodule update --init --recursive # this command may fail
git submodule sync --recursive
git submodule update --init --recursive
NOTE: Versions of Boost since 1.58 are supported. Newer versions may work, but have not been tested well. If your system came pre-installed with a version of Boost that you do not wish to use, you may manually build your preferred version and use it with RevPop by specifying it on the CMake command line.
Example: cmake -DBOOST_ROOT=/path/to/boost ..
NOTE: RevPop requires a 64-bit operating system to build, and will not build on a 32-bit OS.
After Building, the witness_node can be launched with:
./programs/witness_node/witness_node
The node will automatically create a data directory including a config file. You can exit the node using Ctrl+C and setup the command-line wallet by editing
witness_node_data_dir/config.ini as follows:
rpc-endpoint = 127.0.0.1:8090
After starting the witness node again, in a separate terminal you can run:
./programs/cli_wallet/cli_wallet
Set your inital password:
>>> set_password <PASSWORD>
>>> unlock <PASSWORD>
IMPORTANT: The cli_wallet or API interfaces to the witness node wouldn't be fully functional unless the witness node is fully synchronized with the blockchain. The cli_wallet command info will show result head_block_age which will tell you how far you are from the live current block of the blockchain.
To check your current block:
>>> info
To import your initial balance:
>>> import_balance <ACCOUNT NAME> [<WIF_KEY>] true
If you send private keys over this connection, rpc-endpoint should be bound to localhost for security.
Use help to see all available wallet commands. Source definition and listing of all commands is available
here.
We provide several different API's. Each API has its own ID.
When running witness_node, initially two API's are available:
API 0 provides read-only access to the database, while API 1 is
used to login and gain access to additional, restricted API's.
Here is an example using wscat package from npm for websockets:
$ npm install -g wscat
$ wscat -c ws://127.0.0.1:8090
> {"id":1, "method":"call", "params":[0,"get_accounts",[["1.2.0"]]]}
< {"id":1,"result":[{"id":"1.2.0","annotations":[],"membership_expiration_date":"1969-12-31T23:59:59","registrar":"1.2.0","referrer":"1.2.0","lifetime_referrer":"1.2.0","network_fee_percentage":2000,"lifetime_referrer_fee_percentage":8000,"referrer_rewards_percentage":0,"name":"committee-account","owner":{"weight_threshold":1,"account_auths":[],"key_auths":[],"address_auths":[]},"active":{"weight_threshold":6,"account_auths":[["1.2.5",1],["1.2.6",1],["1.2.7",1],["1.2.8",1],["1.2.9",1],["1.2.10",1],["1.2.11",1],["1.2.12",1],["1.2.13",1],["1.2.14",1]],"key_auths":[],"address_auths":[]},"options":{"memo_key":"GPH1111111111111111111111111111111114T1Anm","voting_account":"1.2.0","num_witness":0,"num_committee":0,"votes":[],"extensions":[]},"statistics":"2.7.0","whitelisting_accounts":[],"blacklisting_accounts":[]}]}
We can do the same thing using an HTTP client such as curl for API's which do not require login or other session state:
$ curl --data '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "call", "params": [0, "get_accounts", [["1.2.0"]]], "id": 1}' http://127.0.0.1:8090/rpc
{"id":1,"result":[{"id":"1.2.0","annotations":[],"membership_expiration_date":"1969-12-31T23:59:59","registrar":"1.2.0","referrer":"1.2.0","lifetime_referrer":"1.2.0","network_fee_percentage":2000,"lifetime_referrer_fee_percentage":8000,"referrer_rewards_percentage":0,"name":"committee-account","owner":{"weight_threshold":1,"account_auths":[],"key_auths":[],"address_auths":[]},"active":{"weight_threshold":6,"account_auths":[["1.2.5",1],["1.2.6",1],["1.2.7",1],["1.2.8",1],["1.2.9",1],["1.2.10",1],["1.2.11",1],["1.2.12",1],["1.2.13",1],["1.2.14",1]],"key_auths":[],"address_auths":[]},"options":{"memo_key":"GPH1111111111111111111111111111111114T1Anm","voting_account":"1.2.0","num_witness":0,"num_committee":0,"votes":[],"extensions":[]},"statistics":"2.7.0","whitelisting_accounts":[],"blacklisting_accounts":[]}]}
API 0 is accessible using regular JSON-RPC:
$ curl --data '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "get_accounts", "params": [["1.2.0"]], "id": 1}' http://127.0.0.1:8090/rpc
