# Webcash

Webcash is an experimental new electronic cash ("e-cash") that enables decentralized and instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Users send webcash to one another directly on a decentralized peer-to-peer basis by copying-and-pasting their webcash to their recipient. The central server helps webcash wallets detect double-spending and ensure the integrity of the monetary supply according to the supply schedule.

## Installation

This is a python-based webcash wallet client. To install the latest version on the python package index, use this:

```

pip3 install webcash

```

Otherwise, install locally for testing or development purposes:

```

pip3 install .

```

If you want to run the software without installing the module, you still need to install the dependencies:

```

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

python3 -m webcash.walletclient info

```

```
