Benchmarking framework, loosely based on google's micro-benchmarking library (https://github.com/google/benchmark) Wny not use the Google Benchmark framework? Because adding Even More Dependencies isn't worth it. If we get a dozen or three benchmarks and need nanosecond-accurate timings of threaded code then switching to the full-blown Google Benchmark library should be considered. The benchmark framework is hard-coded to run each benchmark for one wall-clock second, and then spits out .csv-format timing information to stdout. It is left as an exercise for later (or maybe never) to add command-line arguments to specify which benchmark(s) to run, how long to run them for, how to format results, etc etc etc. Again, see the Google Benchmark framework for where that might end up. See src/bench/MilliSleep.cpp for a sanity-test benchmark that just benchmarks 'sleep 100 milliseconds.' To compile and run benchmarks: cd src; make bench Sample output: Benchmark,count,min,max,average Sleep100ms,10,0.101854,0.105059,0.103881 |

Zcash 2.1.1
What is Zcash?
Zcash is an implementation of the "Zerocash" protocol. Based on Bitcoin's code, Zcash intends to offer a far higher standard of privacy through a sophisticated zero-knowledge proving scheme that preserves confidentiality of transaction metadata. More technical details are available in our Protocol Specification.
This software is the Zcash client. It downloads and stores the entire history of Zcash transactions; depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process could take a day or more once the blockchain has reached a significant size.
🔒 Security Warnings
See important security warnings on the Security Information page.
Zcash is experimental and a work in progress. Use it at your own risk.
📒 Deprecation Policy
This release is considered deprecated 16 weeks after the release day. There is an automatic deprecation shutdown feature which will halt the node some time after this 16-week period. The automatic feature is based on block height.
