What is Bitcoin?

https://www.bitcoin.org

Bitcoin is an experimental new digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Elements Alpha is the name of open source software which enables the use of this currency.

For more information, as well as an immediately useable, binary version of the Bitcoin Core software, see https://www.bitcoin.org/en/download.

What is Elements?

Elements is a collection of experiments to bring more technical innovation to Bitcoin.

What is Elements Alpha?

https://github.com/ElementsProject/elements/tree/alpha

Elements Alpha is the Elements project's first experimental test chain.

Compared to Bitcoin itself, it adds the following features:

  • Confidential Transactions
  • Segregated Witness
  • Relative Lock Time
  • Schnorr Signatures
  • Additional opcodes
  • Deterministic Peg (pegged to Bitcoin's testnet currency).
  • Signed Blocks

See alpha-README.md for build and use instructions.
