Dobbscoin is an excremental digital currency that enables the sending of instant Slack to anyone anywhere. Dobbscoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing Slack is carried out collectively by the network.
For more information, as well as an immediately useable binary version of the Dobbscoin Core software, see: https://github.com/dobbscoin/dobbscoin-source/releases
Dobbscoin can be built on modern Linux distributions such as Ubuntu 22/24 and Debian using standard system libraries.
Most users can build Dobbscoin with the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/dobbscoin/dobbscoin-source.git
cd dobbscoin-source
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
After building, verify the version:
./src/dobbscoind --version
You may see the following message when building Dobbscoin:
Found Berkeley DB other than 4.8, required for portable wallets
This is not an error and not a bug in Dobbscoin.
It is a long-standing compatibility requirement shared across many Bitcoin-family cryptocurrencies, including historical versions of Bitcoin itself. Modern versions of Bitcoin Core do not use Berkeley DB at all for the wallet. That change happened in Bitcoin Core 0.17–0.21 era, when the wallet backend was redesigned and later migrated to SQLite by default.
So today: Bitcoin Core 25.x / 26.x / 27.x Wallet storage: SQLite Berkeley DB: legacy only
Early versions of Bitcoin standardized on Berkeley DB version 4.8 for wallet storage. Over time, newer versions of Berkeley DB changed internal behavior. To ensure that wallet files remain portable and compatible across different systems and builds, many projects continue to use Berkeley DB 4.8 for production and release builds.
Because modern operating systems ship newer Berkeley DB versions, developers often install a local compatible copy specifically for building wallet software.
This is normal across the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
Most users do NOT need to worry about this. Use the standard build unless you are:
- Building official release binaries
- Running production infrastructure
- Operating an exchange or custodial service
- Maintaining long-term wallet compatibility
- Learning how cryptocurrency build systems work
If you are simply running a node, experimenting, or developing, the default build is usually sufficient.
Dobbscoin provides a helper script that automatically installs the required Berkeley DB 4.8 libraries safely into your home directory.
This does NOT modify your operating system or replace system libraries.
Run:
./contrib/install-db4.sh
The script will:
-
Download Berkeley DB 4.8 source code
-
Build the required libraries
-
Install them locally into:
$HOME/db4
No administrative privileges are required.
After installing the compatible library, build Dobbscoin using:
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-bdb=$HOME/db4
make
If you do not need strict wallet portability, you can simply build Dobbscoin using your system libraries:
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
Seeing a Berkeley DB 4.8 message is normal in the cryptocurrency world.
Dobbscoin includes an installer script to make the process simple, safe, and reproducible.
Nothing is broken — this is just part of how many cryptocurrency wallet systems maintain compatibility over time.
Dobbscoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see: http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.
Developers work in their own trees, then submit pull requests when they think their feature or bug fix is ready. If it is a simple/trivial/non-controversial change, then one of the Dobbscoin development team members simply pulls it. If it is a more complicated or potentially controversial change, then the patch submitter will be asked to start a discussion (if they haven't already) on the FORUMS:
https://subgenius.finance/smf/
The patch will be accepted if there is broad consensus that it is a good thing. Developers should expect to rework and resubmit patches if the code doesn't match the project's coding conventions (see doc/coding.md) or are controversial.
The master branch is regularly built and tested, but is not guaranteed to be
completely stable. Tags are created regularly to indicate new official,
stable release versions of Dobbscoin.
Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of time.
Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run (assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with:
make check
Every pull request is built for both Windows and Linux on a dedicated server, and unit and sanity tests are automatically run.
See:
https://github.com/TheBlueMatt/test-scripts for the build/test scripts.
Large changes should have a test plan, and should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code.
