Zcash
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.

# 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.

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

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:
tail -f ~/.komodo/debug.log
