slate

slate is a free, open-source peer-to-peer electronic cash system for Linux. It is designed to operate without a central server or trusted intermediary. Instead, participants transact directly with one another through a peer-to-peer network. The software presents electronic cash as a decentralized system rather than a service managed by one operator.

Users retain the cryptographic keys associated with their money. Transactions are checked across the peer-to-peer network to identify attempts to spend the same funds more than once. This makes slate relevant to Linux users and organizations examining decentralized payment software in the Business category. Its open-source license identifies it as software distributed under open-source terms.

On MirrorNest, slate is offered as the official build mirrored directly onto MirrorNest’s own storage. MirrorNest scans the mirrored build for malware before publishing it. The catalog entry provides a Linux download through MirrorNest while retaining the official build as its source. Its placement in the Business category helps users distinguish it from general-purpose or entertainment software when browsing the catalog.
