I'm trying to put together some documentation for the SuperNET API and, as James says, the best way to learn about it is to play with it.
I've got Ubuntu freshly installed on an old computer but linux isn't something I've used much before. Is there a (hopefully very basic) guide to downloading the BTCD daemon so I can tinker with some API calls?
You need to compile it yourself, but it's easy. Install the dependencies:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
sudo apt-get install libdb++-dev
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
sudo apt-get install libqrencode-dev
Then download the source:
git clone https://github.com/laowais/bitcoindark
Then compile it:
cd bitcoindark/src
make -f makefile.unix
If you want the Qt wallet:
apt-get install qt5-default qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev-tools qttools5-dev-tools build-essential libboost-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev libssl-dev libdb++-dev
Then install Qt Creator and open the BitcoinDark-qt.pro file.
That's about it. Let me know if you have a problem.
