Add sendalert.cpp to repo.

[VerusCoin.git] / src / sendalert.cpp

/*
So you need to broadcast an alert...
... here's what to do:

1. Copy sendalert.cpp into your bitcoind build directory

2. Decrypt the alert keys
  copy the decrypted file as alertkeys.h into the src/ directory.

3. Modify the alert parameters in sendalert.cpp
  See the comments in the code for what does what.

4. Add sendalert.cpp to the src/Makefile.am so it gets built:

    libbitcoin_server_a_SOURCES = \
      sendalert.cpp \
      ... etc

5. Update init.cpp to launch the send alert thread. 
  Define the thread function as external at the top of init.cpp:

    extern void ThreadSendAlert();

  Add this call at the end of AppInit2:

    threadGroup.create_thread(boost::bind(ThreadSendAlert));

6. build bitcoind, then run it with -printalert or -sendalert
  I usually run it like this:
   ./bitcoind -printtoconsole -sendalert

One minute after starting up the alert will be broadcast. It is then
flooded through the network until the nRelayUntil time, and will be
active until nExpiration OR the alert is cancelled.

If you screw up something, send another alert with nCancel set to cancel
the bad alert.
