Golos is an experimental Proof of Work blockchain with an unproven consensus algorithm.

Rather than attempt to describe the rules of the blockchain, it is up to each individual to inspect the code to understand the consensus rules.
Just want to get up and running quickly? Try deploying a prebuilt dockerized container.
sudo docker run -d \
-p 4243:4243 \
-p 8090:8090 \
-p 8091:8091 \
--name golos-default goloschain/golos:latest
To attach to the golosd you should use the cli_wallet:
sudo docker exec -ti golos-default \
/usr/local/bin/cli_wallet \
--server-rpc-endpoint="ws://127.0.0.1:8091"
See the build instruction, which contains more information about configuring, building and running of docker containers.
git clone https://github.com/GolosChain/golos.git
cd golos
sudo docker rm local/golos-test
sudo docker build -t local/golos-test -f share/golosd/docker/Dockerfile-test .
A list of some seed nodes to get you started can be found in share/golosd/seednodes.
This same file is baked into the docker images and can be overridden by
setting STEEMD_SEED_NODES in the container environment at docker run
time to a whitespace delimited list of seed nodes (with port).
