Dobbscoin Core — (BOB)

MONETIZED SLACK.

Backed By Nothing. Powered By Everything.

(BOB) is the Official CryptoCurrency of The Church of the SubGenius — the ONLY currency accepted on the Pleasure Saucers, and the only ledger "Bob" Himself would dignify by salesmanship.

Eternal Salvation or Triple Your Money Back.

https://dobbscoin.info · https://subgenius.finance — where Sub-Culture becomes Capital.

Maybe your income just suddenly popped. Maybe you've inherited a fortune, birthed quintuplets, been recently divorced, or you simply woke up in a cold sweat at 3am knowing — knowing — that the Elder Bankers of the Universe are slowly draining your essential fluids through the bank app on your phone.

Whatever your problem is, (BOB) can help you.

The Conspiracy wants you mediocre, taxable, and on autopay. (BOB) wants you free. Choose.

AuxPoW merge-mining (chain ID 0x00B0)	2,000,000	~2026-12-17	Forked off

Run v0.13.0. Anything older gets left behind on a dead chain. The Pinkboys can keep it.

What is (BOB)?

(BOB) is an excremental digital currency that sends instant Slack to anyone, anywhere. No central authority. No board of directors. No quarterly earnings call. Just a peer-to-peer network of weirdos, mystics, miners, and tipbot enjoyers issuing Slack collectively, on a 2-minute heartbeat, since January 2014.

It is scrypt under the hood, flat 1.5 (BOB) per block forever, and NOT for Sale. You earn it, mine it, or get tipped it. You do not buy it. (NOT FINANCIAL ADVISORS. NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE.)

Pre-built binaries for Linux (daemon, Qt5, AppImage) and Windows 64-bit live on the releases page:

Quick start

Just want the wallet? Don't build anything. Download it from https://dobbscoin.info/downloads: setup.exe for Windows, the .AppImage for Linux.

Want to build it yourself? Follow BUILDING.md. It's copy-and-paste steps for:

• the Linux wallet (about 20 minutes), and
• the Windows installer, built on Linux or on Windows with WSL (about an hour the first time).

Wallet storage — SQLite

The wallet keeps its records in SQLite (the distro's libsqlite3-dev, or depends/ for release builds). Up to v0.13.x it used Berkeley DB 4.8, which every builder had to fetch from Oracle and compile by hand; that is gone (issue #44). The records themselves did not change: every key, label and transaction is stored exactly as before, only the file around them is different.

Your existing wallet.dat is converted once, the first time this version starts. The node reads it without Berkeley DB, writes the same records to a new SQLite file, reads them back and compares them byte for byte, keeps the original as wallet.dat.bdb-<unixtime>, and only then puts the new file in place. If anything goes wrong it stops with an error and leaves wallet.dat exactly as it was. Encrypted wallets convert without the passphrase.

• A wallet the old version did not shut down cleanly is refused, because some of its data may still be in the database/ log directory: start the old version once, stop it normally, then start this one.
• There is no way back in place. v0.13.x and earlier cannot open the new file (they refuse to start; they do not damage it). To go back, either restore wallet.dat.bdb-<unixtime> (it does not know about anything that happened after the conversion), or dumpwallet here and importwallet into a fresh wallet on the old version.
• -salvagewallet works on both kinds of file.

Network parameters

Parameter	Value
Proof of work	scrypt
Block target	2 minutes (since block 68425)
Difficulty algorithm	DigiShield V4 → LWMA-3 at block 1,888,808 → emergency-diff at 1,888,888
Max reorg depth	none → 100 blocks at activation
Merge mining	AuxPoW, chain ID 0x00B0, at block 2,000,000
Subsidy	1.5 (BOB) per block, forever (since block 951753)
Halvings	Capped at block 951752 — chain is mildly inflationary by design
Tx version	v1 only
Genesis	January 2014 (Bitcoin Core 0.10-era fork)

There is no 21M supply cap. That was 2014 marketing. The MAX_MONEY sanity ceiling sits at 10B (BOB) — at the current emission rate, ~25,000 years away. The chain is intentionally, gently inflationary. Slack is not scarce.

(BOB) is NOT for Sale. Never has been, never will be. You acquire it, you earn it, you mine it, you get tipped it. The Conspiracy can keep its order book.

Contributing

This is an open project. Patches welcome.

• Trivial / uncontroversial — open a PR, it gets pulled.
• Anything that touches consensus, the wallet, or user-facing behavior — open a thread on the forum first. Hard forks are not surprise parties.
• Match the style in doc/coding.md. Don't reformat the world.

master is built and tested but not guaranteed stable. Tags are the stable line — currently v0.13.0.

Testing

Build and run the unit tests:

make check

Large changes need a test plan and need to be tested by someone other than the author. "It works on my machine" is how chains die.
