uCoin is a libre software allowing to create a new kind of P2P crypto-currencies based on individuals and Universal Dividend.
Inspired by Bitcoin and OpenUDC project.
Development state
Software is still under development, and no production currency using uCoin exists for now.
However, it already exists a testing currency named MetaBrouzouf. Want to test it? Two ways.
Add your node to the network
$ wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ucoin-io/ucoin/master/install.sh | bash
$ ucoind init
$ ucoind sync metab.ucoin.io 9201
$ ucoind start
and you are done! See Install documentation for further details.
Try Sakia Wallet
In the world of crypto-currencies, Sakia Wallet would be called a SPV client. It is a graphical client connecting to the network. See this tutorial to join in the testing currency with Sakia.
