Where do I begin?

We have a guide for joining the public testnet: https://github.com/zcash/zcash/wiki/Public-Alpha-Guide
 
What is Zcash?
--------------
 
Zcash is an implementation of the "Zerocash" protocol. Based on Bitcoin's code, it intends to
offer a far higher standard of privacy and anonymity through a sophisticiated zero-knowledge
proving scheme which preserves confidentiality of transaction metadata.
 
**Zcash is unfinished and highly experimental.** Use at your own risk.
 
Participation in the Zcash project is subject to a [Code of Conduct](code_of_conduct.md).

Komodo Specific Notes
=====================
 
Installation of BDB
-------------------
 
```
#If you do not have BDB installed, do the following:
wget http://download.oracle.com/berkeley-db/db-4.8.30.NC.tar.gz
tar -xvf db-4.8.30.NC.tar.gz
cd db-4.8.30.NC/
mkdir -p build
BDB_PREFIX=$(pwd)/build
cd build
../dist/configure --disable-shared --enable-cxx --with-pic --prefix=$BDB_PREFIX
make install
cd ../..
```
 
Dependencies
------------
 
```
#The following packages are needed:
sudo apt-get install build-essential pkg-config libc6-dev m4 g++-multilib autoconf libtool ncurses-dev unzip git python zlib1g-dev wget bsdmainutils automake libboost-all-dev libssl-dev libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler libqt4-dev libqrencode-dev
```
 
Komodo
------
 
```
git clone https://github.com/jl777/komodo
cd komodo
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-incompatible-bdb --with-gui
# This command might finish with: configure: error: libgmp headers missing. This can be ignored.
./zcutil/fetch-params.sh
cp ~/.zcash-params/testnet3/z9* ~/.zcash-params
./zcutil/build.sh -j8  # -j8 uses 8 threads
#This can take some time.
```
 
Create komodo.conf
------------------
 
```
cd ~
mkdir .komodo
cd .komodo
gedit komodo.conf
#For the above, you can use any text editor other than gedit.
#Add the following lines to the komodo.conf file:
 
rpcuser=bitcoinrpc
rpcpassword=password
addnode="5.9.102.210"
addnode="78.47.196.146"
```
 
Start mining
------------
 
```
cd ~
cd komodo
#Go to your komodo directory
./src/komodod -gen=1 -genproclimit=1 &
#This starts komodo as a process
komodo/src/komodo-cli getinfo
 
#To view the process:
ps aux | grep komodod
 
#To view komodod output:
gedit ~/.komodo.debug.log
```
