PuffCoin (PUF)

sudo apt-get install build-essential libboost-all-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libdb5.3-dev libdb5.3++-dev git pyqt5-dev-tools libminiupnpc-dev zlib1g-dev libssl-dev

git clone https://github.com/puffcoin/puffcoin.git
cd puffcoin/src
make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=- (or makefile.osx if you're on Mac OS)

Now I'm ready to run it–in testnet mode and with a connection to my “other” computer. This is kind of tricky, because you need to start the coin on both computers with the -connect=x.x.x.x variable, each with the IP of the other PC:

./puffcoind -testnet -connect=x.x.x.x &

tail -f ~/.puffcoin/testnet3/debug.log

Now's a good time to brush up on the command line API calls syntax for interacting with the bitcoin client from this wiki page: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Original_Bitcoin_client/API_Calls_list

./puffcoind getinfo

Lovely, they line up and each have a single connection. Now we can make one of them (or both) begin generating coins by using the following command:

./puffcoind setgenerate true 16
