Baecoin: Cryptocurrency for Couples

================================

What is Baecoin?

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

Baecoin is a lite version of Bitcoin using scrypt as a proof-of-work algorithm.

 - 2.5 minute block targets

 - subsidy halves in 840k blocks (~4 years)

 - ~84 million total coins

The rest is the same as Bitcoin.

 - 50 coins per block

 - 2016 blocks to retarget difficulty

For more information, as well as an immediately useable, binary version of

the Baecoin client sofware, see http://www.baecoin.org.

License

-------

Baecoin is released under the terms of the MIT license. See `COPYING` for more

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

Development process

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

Developers work in their own trees, then submit pull requests when they think

their feature or bug fix is ready.

If it is a simple/trivial/non-controversial change, then one of the Baecoin

development team members simply pulls it.

If it is a *more complicated or potentially controversial* change, then the patch

submitter will be asked to start a discussion (if they haven't already) on the

[mailing list](http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=bitcoin-development).

The patch will be accepted if there is broad consensus that it is a good thing.

Developers should expect to rework and resubmit patches if the code doesn't

match the project's coding conventions (see `doc/coding.txt`) or are

controversial.

The `master` branch is regularly built and tested, but is not guaranteed to be

completely stable. [Tags](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tags) are created

regularly to indicate new official, stable release versions of Baecoin.

Testing

-------

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

requests than we can review and test. Please be patient and help out, 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 for new code, and to

submit new unit tests for old code.

Unit tests for the core code are in `src/test/`. To compile and run them:

    cd src; make -f makefile.unix test

Unit tests for the GUI code are in `src/qt/test/`. To compile and run them:

    qmake BITCOIN_QT_TEST=1 -o Makefile.test bitcoin-qt.pro

    make -f Makefile.test

    ./baecoin-qt_test
