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.

Komodo specific notes:
if you dont have BDB installed:
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/build_unix
mkdir -p build
BDB_PREFIX=$(pwd)/build
../dist/configure —disable-shared —enable-cxx —with-pic —prefix=$BDB_PREFIX
make install
cd ../..
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
git clone https://github.com/jl777/komodo
cd komodo
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-incompatible-bdb --with-gui
./zcutil/fetch-params.sh
cp ~/.zcash-params/testnet3/z9* ~/.zcash-params
./zcutil/build.sh -j8 # -j8 uses 8 threads
Once things are setup, you can build komodod with make from komodo/src directory. Also the error: configure: error: libsnark include directory not found, might appear and it looks like it can be ignored.
Create ~/.komodo/komodo.conf:
rpcuser=bitcoinrpc
rpcpassword=password
addnode="5.9.102.210"
addnode="78.47.196.146"
Start mining:
komodo/src/komodod -gen=1 -genproclimit=1
komodo/src/komodo-cli getinfo
