Roman Khimov 00a290de07 update minimum supported version of Go to 1.12
Go 1.11 is not supported upstream and it also breaks our precious VM for some
reason, so use better versions of Go. Fixes #384.

# Overview
This project aims to be a full port of the original C# [NEO project](https://github.com/neo-project).
A complete toolkit for the NEO blockchain, including:
- Consensus node (WIP)
- [RPC node & client](https://github.com/nspcc-dev/neo-go/tree/master/pkg/rpc/README.md)
- [RPC client](https://github.com/nspcc-dev/neo-go/blob/master/pkg/rpc/README.md)
- [CLI tool](https://github.com/nspcc-dev/neo-go/blob/master/cli/README.md)
- [Smart contract compiler](https://github.com/nspcc-dev/neo-go/blob/master/pkg/vm/compiler/README.md)
- [NEO virtual machine](https://github.com/nspcc-dev/neo-go/blob/master/pkg/vm/README.md)
# Getting started
## Installation
Go: 1.12+
Install dependencies.
`neo-go` uses [GoModules](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules) as dependency manager:
```
make deps
```
## How to setup a node
### Docker
Each tagged build is built to docker hub and the `:latest` tag pointing at the latest tagged build.
By default the `CMD` is set to run a node on `testnet`, so to do this simply run:
```bash
docker run -d --name neo-go -p 20332:20332 -p 20333:20333 cityofzion/neo-go
```
Which will start a node on `testnet` and expose the nodes port `20333` and `20332` for the `JSON-RPC` server.
### Building
Build the **neo-go** CLI:
```
make build
```
Quick start a NEO node on the private network. This requires the [neo-privatenet](https://hub.docker.com/r/cityofzion/neo-privatenet/) Docker image running on your machine.
```
make run
```
To run the binary directly:
```
./bin/neo-go node
```
By default the node will run on the `private network`, to change his:
```
./bin/neo-go node --mainnet
```
Available network flags:
- `--mainnet, -m`
- `--privnet, -p`
- `--testnet, -t`
