## Introduction
2023-01-31 08:56:25 +00:00
Wownero is a privacy-centric memecoin that was fairly launched on April 1, 2018 with no pre-mine, stealth-mine or ICO. Wownero has a maximum supply of around 184 million WOW with a slow and steady emission over 50 years. It is a fork of Monero, but with its own genesis block, so there is no degradation of privacy due to ring signatures using different participants for the same tx outputs on opposing forks.

### Open Collective
2023-01-31 08:56:25 +00:00
Open Collective is an online funding platform for open source software and collaborative communities. The platform brings together legal entities that act as a “Fiscal Host”, “Collectives” (unincorporated, community-based projects), and individuals interested in supporting projects with donations. Fiscal hosts hold donations for collectives in trust and handle all the taxes and legal stuff.
2023-01-31 08:56:25 +00:00
Wownero is hosted by Open Collective Europe, a Brussels-based non-profit that hosts many other collectives, such as Manjaro, EndeavourOS, Xfce, and peertube.social. If you would like donate to the Wownero Project using this method, you can check out our [Wownero - Open Collective](https://opencollective.com/wownero) page.

## Release staging and Contributing
2023-01-31 08:56:25 +00:00
**Anyone is welcome to contribute to Wownero's codebase!**
2023-01-31 08:56:25 +00:00
If you have a fix or code change, feel free to submit it as a pull request. Ahead of a scheduled software upgrade, a development branch will be created with the new release version tag. Pull requests that address bugs should be made to Master. Pull requests that require review and testing (generally, optimizations and new features) should be made to the development branch. All pull requests will be considered safe until the US dollar valuation of 1 Wownero equals $1000. After this valuation has been reached, more research will be needed to introduce experimental cryptography and/or code into the codebase.

## Scheduled software upgrades
2023-01-31 08:56:25 +00:00
Wownero uses a fixed-schedule software upgrade (hard fork) mechanism to implement new features. This means that users of Wownero (end users and service providers) should run current versions and upgrade their software on a regular schedule. The required software for these upgrades will be available prior to the scheduled date. Please check the repository prior to this date for the proper Wownero software version. Below is the historical schedule and the projected schedule for the next upgrade.
Dates are provided in the format YYYY-MM-DD.

## Running Binaries
The build places the binary in `bin/` sub-directory within the build directory
from which cmake was invoked (repository root by default). To run in the
foreground:
2023-01-31 08:56:25 +00:00
./bin/wownerod
2023-01-31 08:56:25 +00:00
To list all available options, run `./bin/wownerod --help`. Options can be
specified either on the command line or in a configuration file passed by the
`--config-file` argument. To specify an option in the configuration file, add
a line with the syntax `argumentname=value`, where `argumentname` is the name
of the argument without the leading dashes, for example, `log-level=1`.
To run in background:
2023-01-31 08:56:25 +00:00
./bin/wownerod --log-file wownerod.log --detach
To run as a systemd service, copy
2023-01-31 08:56:25 +00:00
[wownerod.service](utils/systemd/wownerod.service) to `/etc/systemd/system/` and
[wow.conf](wow.conf) to `/etc/`. The [example
service](utils/systemd/wownerod.service) assumes that the user `wownero` exists
and its home is the data directory specified in the [example
2023-01-31 08:56:25 +00:00
config](wow.conf).
2023-01-31 08:56:25 +00:00
Once node is synced to network, run the CLI wallet by entering:
2023-01-31 08:56:25 +00:00
./bin/wownero-wallet-cli
2023-01-31 08:56:25 +00:00
Type `help` in CLI wallet to see standard commands (for advanced options, type `help_advanced`).
2023-01-31 08:56:25 +00:00

* `sudo /etc/init.d/tor restart && sudo systemctl enable tor`
* copy [wow.conf](https://git.wownero.com/wownero/wownero/raw/branch/master/wow.conf) file and save it in same directory as `wownerod`.
* start wownerod like this:
```
2023-01-31 08:56:25 +00:00
./wownerod --config-file=wow.conf
```
2023-01-31 08:56:25 +00:00
* `sudo cat /var/lib/tor/wownero/hostname`
copy your onion address and share node with others [here](https://monero.fail/?crypto=wownero) and [here](https://forum.wownero.com/t/wownero-tor-onion-sites/623)
2023-01-31 08:56:25 +00:00
