Underline is an experimental digital currency fork from LITECOIN that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world.
Underline contains a number of significant performance improvements, which make Initial Block Download, startup, transaction and block validation much faster; As a result, validating the blockchain during Initial Block Download (IBD) and reindex is ~30-40% faster, uses 10-20% less memory, and flushes to disk far less frequently. The only downside is that the on-disk database is 15% larger. During the conversion from the previous format a few extra gigabytes may be used.
Underline Core 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 Underline Core software, see https://underline.org.
Underline Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.
The master branch is regularly built and tested, but is not guaranteed to be
completely stable. Tags are created
regularly to indicate new official, stable release versions of Underline Core.
The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md.
The developer mailing list should be used to discuss complicated or controversial changes before working on a patch set.
Developer IRC can be found on Freenode at #underline-dev.
