Download

Not available yet. The first release is planned as v0.1.0-alpha.1, an alpha.

Until then you can build the node from source, once the source repository is public.

What each release holds

poo (short for Proof of Ownership) is the headless node and command line. poo-gui holds the same commands with a visual layer that opens in your browser; every click runs a poo command, so you can use either one. Binaries are static and print their version with poo version.

Check what you downloaded

Every release has a SHA256SUMS file. Comparing your archive against it tells you the download is complete and undamaged. It does not prove the archive is genuine: SHA256SUMS comes from the same release page, so anyone who could replace an archive could replace it too.

# Linux, FreeBSD
sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS --ignore-missing
# macOS
grep poo-VERSION-darwin-ARCH.tar.gz SHA256SUMS | shasum -a 256 -c
# Windows (PowerShell): compare the printed hash with the archive's line in SHA256SUMS
Get-FileHash poo-VERSION-windows-ARCH.zip -Algorithm SHA256

The check that does not trust the release page is a rebuild. Builds are reproducible: rebuilding a tag with the same toolchain gives the same bytes, so anyone can check a published archive without trusting whoever built it. The rebuild needs a Linux machine with GNU tar and zip; on another system the archives come out different even when nothing is wrong.

git checkout v0.1.0-alpha.1
./scripts/release.sh 0.1.0-alpha.1   # the tag without its "v"
diff dist/SHA256SUMS SHA256SUMS   # the file from the release page

Build from source

You need Go 1.27 or later.

git clone https://github.com/JogginTheNoggin/crypto-mint-net
cd crypto-mint-net
go build -o poo ./cmd/poo
./poo init      # follows the default series
./poo node

For the app: go -C gui build -o poo-gui ./cmd/poo-gui, then run ./gui/poo-gui.

More tools

Light wallets, ledger watchers, standalone grinders and other utilities will be listed here as they appear. The node already includes a wallet, a light mode that follows only a wallet's mints, a live event stream and grinders for CPUs. GPUs are detected, but there is no GPU grinder yet.
