Verified Delay Function Calculator

Built for Amoveo. The main Amoveo repo.

requires ubuntu.

Dependencies

   sudo apt-get install erlang libncurses5-dev libssl-dev unixodbc-dev g++ git

You might need less than what is listed above ^

If you still have trouble with dependencies, look at dependencies from Amoveo:

Downloading vdf software

git clone https://github.com/zack-bitcoin/vdf-calculate.git

compiling

On ubuntu, the miner in C language can be compiled and turned on like this:

sh build.sh 

running

Here is an example

./vdf_calculate "deadbEEf000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000" 4 500000

it starts with the 32-byte block hash in hexidecimal: "deadbeef000000000..."

it takes 4 batches of 1/2 million hashes, taking a checkpoint between each batch.

The output should be

killing rogue processes

Then to kill the miner processes, do:

sh clean.sh

other notes

This simple C miner is a template for making vdf calculators and vdf verifiers in other languages.
