Further information about Dash Core is available in [./doc/](/doc).



What is Dash?

-------------



Dash is an experimental digital currency that enables instant, private

payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Dash uses peer-to-peer technology

to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money

are carried out collectively by the network. Dash Core is the name of the open

source software which enables the use of this currency.



For more information read the original Dash whitepaper.



License

-------



Dash Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See [COPYING](COPYING) for more

information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.



Development Process

-------------------



The `master` branch is meant to be stable. Development is normally done in separate branches.

[Tags](https://github.com/dashpay/dash/tags) are created to indicate new official,

stable release versions of Dash Core.



The `develop` branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but is not guaranteed to be

completely stable.



The contribution workflow is described in [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md)

and useful hints for developers can be found in [doc/developer-notes.md](doc/developer-notes.md).



Build / Compile from Source

---------------------------



The `./configure`, `make`, and `cmake` steps, as well as build dependencies, are in [./doc/](/doc) as well:



- **Linux**: [./doc/build-unix.md](/doc/build-unix.md) \

  Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Arch, and others

- **macOS**: [./doc/build-osx.md](/doc/build-osx.md)

- **Windows**: [./doc/build-windows.md](/doc/build-windows.md)

- **OpenBSD**: [./doc/build-openbsd.md](/doc/build-openbsd.md)

- **FreeBSD**: [./doc/build-freebsd.md](/doc/build-freebsd.md)

- **NetBSD**: [./doc/build-netbsd.md](/doc/build-netbsd.md)



Testing

-------



Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull

requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing

other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people

lots of money.



### Automated Testing



Developers are strongly encouraged to write [unit tests](src/test/README.md) for new code, and to

submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run

(assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: `make check`. Further details on running

and extending unit tests can be found in [/src/test/README.md](/src/test/README.md).



There are also [regression and integration tests](/test), written

in Python.

These tests can be run (if the [test dependencies](/test) are installed) with: `test/functional/test_runner.py`



The CI (Continuous Integration) systems make sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS,

and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.



### Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing



Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the

code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful

to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is

not straightforward.



Translations

------------



Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to

[Dash Core's Transifex page](https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/dash/).



Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the

[translation process](doc/translation_process.md) for details on how this works.



**Important**: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next

pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
