| ### [Debian](/contrib/debian) ### | ||

||
| ### [PyMiner](/contrib/pyminer) ### | ||
|
|
||
| This is a 'getwork' CPU mining client for Bitcoin. It is pure-python, and therefore very, very slow. The purpose is to provide a reference implementation of a miner, for study. | ||
|
|
||
| ### [Qos](/contrib/qos) ### | ||
|
|
||
| A Linux bash script that will set up tc to limit the outgoing bandwidth for connections to the Bitcoin network. This means one can have an always-on bitcoind instance running, and another local bitcoind/bitcoin-qt instance which connects to this node and receives blocks from it. | ||
|
|
||
| ### [Seeds](/contrib/seeds) ### | ||
| Utility to generate the pnSeed[] array that is compiled into the client. | ||
|
|
||
| ### [SpendFrom](/contrib/spendfrom) ### | ||
|
|
||
| Use the raw transactions API to send coins received on a particular | ||
| address (or addresses). | ||
|
|
||
| ### [TestGen](/contrib/testgen) ### | ||
| Utilities to generate test vectors for the data-driven Bitcoin tests. |

| Bitcoin is a free open source peer-to-peer electronic cash system that is | ||
| completely decentralized, without the need for a central server or trusted | ||
| parties. Users hold the crypto keys to their own money and transact directly | ||
| with each other, with the help of a P2P network to check for double-spending. | ||
