AXE

about

AXE is a decentralized X11-based cryptocurrency. The foundation of AXE network is hybrid PoW/PoSe system. First-tier nodes provide hash power to move data and secure the blockchain, while the second tier of full nodes adds extra privacy and increases network performance.

ios client

AXE core clients are full nodes, upgradeable to Masternodes and the most secure way to access the network. Full node client downloads a complete copy of the blockchain and participating in transactions verification. Thin (mobile) clients are using SPV protocol to communicate with full nodes and perform operations without downloading a full copy of the blockchain.

Masternodes

The second tier of AXE network - masternodes. They sustain a certain minimum level of network performance and provide additional privacy (PoSe).

InstantSend

Allows for near-instant transactions. AXE InstantSend transactions are fully confirmed within four seconds.

PrivateSend

Gives you financial privacy by obscuring the source of funds on the blockchain.

Gitian builds

Use AXE-gitian to perform deterministic binary builds using Vagrant and VirtualBox with Ansible. This section covers build process on macOS (linux instructions). Gitian provides a way to be reasonably certain that the AXE executables are really built from the exact source on GitHub and have not been tampered with. It also makes sure that the same, tested dependencies are used and statically built into the executable. Multiple developers build from source code by following a specific descriptor ("recipe"), cryptographically sign the result, and upload the resulting signature. These results are compared and only if they match is the build is accepted.

GnuPG

Download and install the latest version of GPG Suite from here.

Vagrant

Download and install the latest version of Vagrant from here.

VirtualBoX

Download and install the latest version of VirtualBox from here.

Ansible

Install prerequisites

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
brew doctor
brew install git
sudo easy_install pip

Setup Ansible

sudo pip install ansible

axe-gitian

git clone https://github.com/AXErunners/axe-gitian
cd axe-gitian

Edit your gitian.yml file:


# URL of repository containing AXE source code.
axe_git_repo_url: 'https://github.com/AXErunners/axe'

# Specific tag or branch you want to build.
axe_version: 'master'

# The [email protected] in the e-mail address of your GPG key, alternatively a key ID.
gpg_key_name: 'F16219F4C23F91112E9C734A8DFCBF8E5A4D8019'

# OPTIONAL set to import your SSH key into the VM. Example: id_rsa, id_ed25519. Assumed to reside in ~/.ssh
ssh_key_name: ''

Place Apple SDK tarball (MacOSX10.11.sdk.tar.gz) into axe-gitian folder for macOS builds.

Start the build with vagrant up --provision axe-build.

Then connect to the box with vagrant ssh axe-build.

Prepare the container and start building with:

#replace $SIGNER and $VERSION to match your gitian.yml
./gitian-build.py --setup $signer $version
./gitian-build.py -B $SIGNER $VERSION

Commit assertions from the box using git (access token might be needed) or use vagrant scp plugin to transfer data.

guide for linux

masternodes

AXE Core v1.2 DIP3 Upgrade

To start AXE masternode on a dedicated server you will need:

1000 AXE collateral

Server (2GB RAM) with Ubuntu (18.04) and static IP (Vultr)

Axe Core on local machine

Basic Linux skills

Setup VPS

Switch to dedicated user AXERUNNER:

adduser axerunner
usermod -aG sudo axerunner
su axerunner
cd ~

Prepare the system

Update operating system and install dependencies:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install ufw git fail2ban python virtualenv unzip pv
sudo ufw allow ssh/tcp
sudo ufw limit ssh/tcp
sudo ufw allow 9937/tcp
sudo ufw allow 9936/tcp
sudo ufw allow 9337/tcp
sudo ufw logging on
sudo ufw disable
sudo ufw enable
Add some swap:
sudo fallocate -l 4G /swapfile
sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile
sudo nano /etc/fstab

Enter the following file at the end: /swapfile none swap sw 0 0

Install AXE on VPS

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/axerunners/axerunner
~/axerunner/axerunner install
~/axerunner/axerunner install sentinel

Generate masternode key on local machine

Download AXE core from releases. Open your local Axe wallet (axe-qt)and let it sync with the network. After downloading the blockchain you can create masternode address with the key. Open debug console to enter masternode genkey and getaccountaddress mn. Send 1000 AXE to just generated mn address.

Go back to VPS to edit the configuration file

cd ~ && cd .axecore
nano axe.conf

Insert following:

#- - - -
rpcuser=XXX
rpcpassword=XXX
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=9337
#- - - -
listen=1
server=1
daemon=1
#- - - -
masternode=1
masternodeprivkey=XXX
externalip=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

rpcuser/password might be random

externalip is your VPS static address

masternodeprivkey is generated with masternode genkey

Finish local wallet setup

Go to your local datadir and edit masternode.conf to make it look like example below:

mn1 207.246.65.01:9937 93HaYBVUCYjEMezH1Y4sBGLALQZE1Yc1K64xiqgX37tGBDQL8Xg 7603c20a05258c208b58b0a0d77603b9fc93d47cfa403035f87f3ce0af814566 0
mn2 207.246.65.02:9937 92Da1aYg6sbenP6uwskJgEY2XWB5LwJ7bXRtc3UPeShtHWJDjDv 5d898e78244f3206e0105f421cdb071d91d111a51cd88eb5511fc0dbf4bfd95f 1

mn1 is the alias of your masternode

207.246.65.01:9937 is the IP address of your VPS and Axe RPC port 9337

93HaYBVUCYjEMezH1Y4sBGLALQZE1Yc1K64xiqgX37tGBDQL8Xg is your masternode private key

5d898e78244f3206e0105f421cdb071d91d111a51cd88eb5511fc0dbf4bfd95f 1 is the mn transaction output from masternode outputs

Start your masternode

Go to your local wallet's masternode tab (on/off switch in Options) and start your masternode. If your node shows WATCHDOG EXPIRED status - this usually indicates an issue with Sentinel. Check the schedule with crontab -e and give it a few hours. It might take a few hours for masternode to switch to ENABLED status.

electrum

binaries

Axe Electrum is a lightweight client for AXE network. Check with AXE wiki for more details. The source code is available at @AXErunners' GitHub repository.

Usage

Download binaries or follow this guide to install Axe Electrum from source on your system.

electrumx

ElectrumX is a server-side application for AXE SPV protocol. The current version requires precise system configuration and is not fully automated for fast deployment. The script below is used for fast and easy setup of electrumx server on working AXE core node. To start, input following line:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bauerj/electrumx-installer/master/bootstrap.sh -O - | bash

Finish the configuration by adding your AXE node's RPC login/pass in DAEMON_URL as user:[email protected]:/ Sample:

# REQUIRED
DB_DIRECTORY = /db
# AXE node RPC credentials
DAEMON_URL = axerunner:[email protected]:9337/
DB_ENGINE=rocksdb
SSL_CERTFILE=/etc/electrumx/server.crt
SSL_KEYFILE=/etc/electrumx/server.key
TCP_PORT=50001
SSL_PORT=50002
# Listen on all interfaces:
HOST=91.65.291.42
COIN=AXE

#BANNER_FILE = /etc/electrumx/electrum.banner
#Uncomment the above line if you want to have a banner and create the banner file

Add the ports in the firewall exception:

sudo ufw allow 50001
sudo ufw allow 50002

Launch

Starting and stopping electrumx server
service electrumx start
service electrumx start

trading

Trading with BarterDEX

Download and install AXE with other wallets you planning to trade with. While your wallets are syncing, download latest BarterDEX binaries. When wallets are synced, close AXE core and edit axe.conf as in the example below (SPV clients should work without any configuration):

rpcuser=axerunner283723
rpcpassword=warp2178302
server=1
txindex=1
rpcbind=127.0.0.1
bind=127.0.0.1
rpcport=9337
port=9937

If needed, add necessary changes to another wallets.
AXE core native with Bitcoin electrum mode will work out of the box.

First start

Open BarterDEX and generate your seed. This seed will be associated with your wallet's deposit address. Don't lose it, or you will not be able to access your deposits in watch-only addresses. If you are using AXE core, select native mode. For SPV wallets - use electrum mode. After adding your coins, click on exchange, select pairs you want to trade, and send your first order.
