Simple bitcoin network with pre-generated bitcoins

Docker container with 2 Bitcoin Core nodes connected to each other made specialy for testing and developing applications for bitcoin network.

Real network differences

• testnet addresses have "m" or "n" prefixes
• block is mined every 10s

How to use container?

1. docker run --name regnet analogic/bitcoin-regnet [-p 18332:18332] [-p 18334:18334] [-v /data:/data]
2. ...wait couple seconds...
3. develop! (or profit!)

Node 1

• event socket at port 18335 (walletnotify + blocknotify), see bellow

• XML-RPC at port 18332 with username "bitcoinrpc" and password "rpcpassword"

• pregenerated and confirmed 50 bitcoins at "shop" account

• command line examples:

  docker exec <container> bitcoin-cli listaccounts

  docker exec <container> bitcoin-cli sendfrom myaccount mveAy8hqEomzEFqBBq7gUCow5gMRgCosYt 3.14

Node 2

• XML-RPC at port 18334 with username "bitcoinrpc" and password "rpcpassword"

• pregenerated and confirmed 50 bitcoins at "customer" account

• command line examples:

  docker exec <container> bitcoin-cli -conf=/etc/conf/node-2/bitcoin.conf listaccounts

  docker exec <container> bitcoin-cli sendfrom myaccount mveAy8hqEomzEFqBBq7gUCow5gMRgCosYt 3.14

Event sock

• see rootfs/etc/services.d/bitcoind-1/run and rootfs/etc/services.d/bitcoind-event-sock/run
• you can easily connect to socket with netcat:

  $ nc <container-ip> 18335

• every row means one transaction or block, transactions are json string, simple strings are block IDs
• very usable for real-time tx or confirmation notifications
