BitFinite Core is the full-node software for the BitFinite (BFX) protocol — a
proof-of-work chain derived from Bitcoin Cash Node.
It ships the daemon (bitfinited), the RPC/CLI client (bitfinite-cli), and the
Qt desktop wallet (bitfinite-qt).

Prebuilt Linux and Windows binaries (bitfinited, bitfinite-cli,
bitfinite-qt) are published on the
Releases page.
Verify your download against the release SHA256SUMS.
The Linux binaries are produced from a reproducible depends/Docker build and
static-link boost/libevent/BDB/miniupnpc, so bitfinited runs on a stock
distribution without extra apt packages.
Minimal ~/.bitfinite/bitfinite.conf:
server=1
txindex=1 # required for the explorer / address indexing
rpcuser=<user>
rpcpassword=<strong-password>bitfinited -daemon # start the daemon
bitfinite-cli getblockchaininfo
bitfinite-cli stopThe node discovers peers via the DNS seeds above. To add peers manually, use
addnode=<host> in the config or bitfinite-cli addnode <host> add.
The BitFinite Core source is currently maintained privately; the released binaries above are the supported distribution. The build is Dockerized — no host toolchain required:
scripts/build-core-docker.sh # → build-linux/src/{bitfinited,bitfinite-cli,bitfinite-qt}This uses the Bitcoin Cash Node depends system inside a container to produce
portable, statically-linked binaries.
