About
Bitcoin Private, like Zclassic and Zcash, is an implementation of the "Zerocash" protocol. Based on Zclassic's code, it intends to offer a far higher standard of privacy through a sophisticated zero-knowledge proving scheme that preserves confidentiality of transaction metadata. Technical details are available in the Zcash Protocol Specification.
This software is the Bitcoin Private client. It downloads and stores the entire history of Bitcoin Private 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.
It includes both btcpd
(the daemon) and btcp-cli
(the command line tools).
Security Warnings
See important security warnings in doc/security-warnings.md.
Bitcoin Private is unfinished and highly experimental. Use 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 time period. The automatic feature is based on block height and can be explicitly disabled.
