How to run it

Different computers get different files. Read only the card that matches what you own. You need a node (the notebook) and the wallet (the window). The wallet is the same zip on every system.

Join the public test

addnode=seed.ruckcoin.org:8867

Put that line in ruck.conf, then start your node. This is a home seed. It will go down. Test coins will be wiped at official height 0. Do not treat them as money. RPC stays on your computer only.

You haveDownloadNode program
Windows Wallet zip Not a native ravend.exe yet. Use the Linux node inside WSL, or build from source.
Linux (Ubuntu 24.04, 64-bit) Wallet zip + Linux node zip Ready. ruckd / ravend in the Linux zip. Check SHA256SUMS.txt.
macOS Wallet zip No Mac binary yet. Build the node from source, then run the wallet with Python.

Windows · wallet ready · node via WSL for now

Windows

The clickable wallet works today. A Windows node .exe is not in this pack yet.

  1. Install Python 3. Check “Add python.exe to PATH”.
  2. Download the wallet zip. Unzip it. Keep the files together.
  3. To also run a node on this PC: install Ubuntu from the Microsoft Store (WSL), download the Linux node zip, unzip it next to the wallet folder, then double-click Start RuckCoin.bat.
  4. Or only open the wallet: Open Wallet.bat (needs a node already running).

Your data folder is %APPDATA%\Ruck (wallet settings). A WSL node keeps the chain in ~/.ruck.

Wallet for Windows Linux node (for WSL)

Linux · node zip ready

Linux

Built for 64-bit Ubuntu 24.04. Other distros: build from source if these files will not run.

  1. Download the Linux node zip. Unzip.
  2. Copy ruck.conf.example to ~/.ruck/ruck.conf. Change rpcpassword.
  3. Run ./ruckd -daemon. Check with ./ruck-cli getblockcount.
  4. Download the wallet zip, then python3 ruck-wallet.py and open http://127.0.0.1:8870/.

Put addnode=seed.ruckcoin.org:8867 in ruck.conf so you join the same test chain.

Linux node Checksums

macOS · build the node

Mac

No Mac download yet. The wallet is Python, so it works after you compile the node.

  1. Install Python 3 from python.org or Homebrew.
  2. Build the node from the source (see below).
  3. Run ./ruckd -daemon from the folder that contains ravend.
  4. Unzip the wallet and run python3 ruck-wallet.py.
Wallet zip Source

Build from source (any computer)

Same steps on Linux or a Mac with the usual developer tools. On Windows, use WSL and treat it as Linux.

git clone https://github.com/madeagle100/RuckCoin.git

./autogen.sh

./configure --without-gui --disable-tests --disable-bench

make

You also need Berkeley DB 4.8 for the wallet. See doc/build-unix.md in the repo. The programs are still named ravend and raven-cli. Use the ruckd / ruck-cli wrappers in contrib/.

addnode=seed.ruckcoin.org:8867 ← public test seed (home PC, will go down)

A different genesis hash is a different coin. Anyone can copy the code and start their own chain. That is not RuckCoin. Official start time, genesis hash, and downloads will be this site plus github.com/madeagle100/RuckCoin. Until we publish a public start, there is no official network to join.
