GOSTCoin Core
=============

GOSTCoin (GST) is a digital currency based on [blockchain](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockchain) technology.
It allows instant payments worldwide with focus on privacy and security of its users.

Why GOSTCoin?
-------------

GOSTCoin uses Soviet and Russian government standard cryptography:
[GOST R 34.10-2012](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7091) for signature and [GOST R 34.11-2012](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6986) for hash.
[More info about crypto](https://github.com/GOSTSec/gostcoin/wiki/Cryptography).

GOSTCoin is using [Invisible Internet](https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd) (I2P) as a secure network layer.

GOSTCoin needs I2P router
-------------------------

Install and run [i2pd](https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd).

Enable SAM API in i2pd. Edit in `i2pd.conf`:

[sam]
enabled = true

and restart i2pd. Local TCP port 7656 should be available.
