EDITIED: I CANNOT RUN A NODE: SOMEONE ELSE CAN START A CHAIN IF THEY ARE INTERESTED< TALK TO ME ON GITHUB WITH COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS

ORIGINAL:

This is a test.

Ok, The network and genesis and 'start' is designed so that a developer can do everything with just 1 computer, or device; So I did that; The GitHub should build (I can only test windows , though GitHub is awesome enough to run ubuntu tests by itself to check for Linux errors , so I can manage that to) ;

If you know how to build a rust project, you need rust and cargo, and you run in your terminal (any OS) cargo build --release in the main folder. that should produce a ./target/release with a bunch of stuff.

The directory 'data-dir' is pretty much the directory which should be like 'blockchain data' for bitcoin.  The network should use that to synchronize you with other peers, and those peers with other peers. peers should broadcast to other peers nodes to be stored locally.

At the moment it's just me, So i can provide this ip to connect to, it has a core running .  if you don't want to read the guides (they should be fairly updated) in the GitHub , then you simply use ./paradigm-core --add-node 45.47.177.140 <ip>

Optionally if you have other IP's you can make a text file then use ./paradigm-core --addnodefile file.txt  > it should try
Now, to get things going, you'll basically need (either from source, or easier, from the GitHub release section of Paradigm , the zip, which should contain paradigm-core.exe , paradigm-wallet.exe, and paradigm-contributor.exe

paradigm-core basically just needs to run to be connected and do things with the wallet (like a bitcoin client running in the background)

paradigm-core wallet has cli functions to check balance, add a wallet, list addresses ( at the moment it loads your last "wallet") which is a combo of your addresses and keys. you can use this also to send to another address, import and export the wallet and private keys

paradigm-miner simply needs to be ran in terminal , and it does its thing. if core is running, and all is well, it should start contributing. its like a miner but it does not solve hashes, it simply helps the network in a lot of ways. so work is constantly being needed by the ai of the network and contributors will be assigned work nonstop.  we can use options (check ./paradigm-miner help ) such as --cpu only, --cpu  - amd metal and nvidia (opencl, cuda) GPU acceleration IS IN THE CONTRIBUTOR - but i cant test them all i only have an Nvidia card.

Optionally you can hook up rigs and more, and there should be ASIC options but i can't test that at all either.

If you want to see the 'logo' and 'banner' i made, and a transparent one for Paradigm, they are in the GitHub's 'media' folder.


Again, this is a real wing at a live release, so you are all my test subject's, or Paradigms test's subjects.


NOTES ON BUILDING: the three core components will build, though if you build everything there should be errors for the paradigm-sdk ; this is a placeholder with some features that I did not expand on but it's basically for developers to make things for PAR ; i

or
  try
  cargo build --release --bin paradigm-core --bin paradigm-wallet --bin paradigm-contributor        

WHAT SHOULD WORK BUT MAY NOT:
./paradigm-core (in term window)
./paradigm-contributor (in term window)
./paradigm-wallet (run once to check things)

THIS REALLY SHOULD WORK AND PROBABLY WILL:
./paradigm-core --addnode 45.47.177.140<yourip>:8080 --data-dir data-dir (in term window)
./paradigm-contirbutor (in term window)
./paradigm-wallet (run once to check things)

If you want to just connect to yourself, use:
./paradigm-core --addnode 127.0.0.1:8080 --data-dir data-dir (in term window)

Rundown of What you can do:

download release files from GitHub(it should be now paradigm-2.00live.zip , the older ones wont work for this;
(or build them, its the same version) main == 2.00live as of now

Use terminal or whatever method to keep paradigm-core --addnode 45.47.177.140<ip> --data-dir data-dir  .. alive, and if you want to contribute (earn!) , do the same to keep paradigm-contributor running. it will need a --wallet-address argument to know which address to send earned funds to (this is near instant) -> so ./paradigm-wallet to make, check the address you want to use, then ./paradigm-contributor.exe --wallet-address <that PAR address> and it should kickoff.

From there I don't know what will happen.

Also I added deep transparency and security to the chain.  There should be no way for a block explorer, for example; The README.md at GitHub should explain a lot, it should be updated for this version, to.
