Assuming the created Bitcore node is called mynode and resides in your home directory, Symlink the i-made-this stampingservice into the node_modules directory of ~/mynode

ln -s ~/mynode/node_modules ~/i-made-this/stampingservice

Add stampingservice as a dependency in ~/mynode/bitcore-node.json

{
  "datadir": "./data",
  "network": "testnet",
  "port": 3001,
  "services": [
    "bitcoind",
    "db",
    "address",
    "web",
    "stampingservice"
  ]
}

Run npm install from within the stampingservice directory:

cd ~/i-made-this/stampingservice
npm install

Start your bitcore-node from within the ~/mynode directory

cd ~/mynode
bitcored
