Bitcore

Infrastructure to build Verge and blockchain-based applications for the next generation of financial technology.

Getting Started

Requirements

• Trusted P2P Peer
• MongoDB Server >= v3.4

Checkout the repo

git clone git@github.com:vergecurrency/bitcore.git
cd bitcore
git checkout master
npm install

Setup Guide

1. Setup Bitcore config

Example bitcore.config.json

{
  "bitcoreNode": {
    "chains": {
      "XVG": {
        "mainnet": {
          "chainSource": "p2p",
          "trustedPeers": [
            {
              "host": "127.0.0.1",
              "port": 21102
            }
          ],
          "rpc": {
            "host": "127.0.0.1",
            "port": 20102,
            "username": "RPCUSER",
            "password": "RPCPASS"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

2. Setup Verge Node

Example Verge Mainnet Config

txindex=0
listen=1
server=1

# Make sure port & rpcport matches the 
# bitcore.config.json ports for XVG mainnet

# if using Verge Core v5+ prefix
# [main]

port=21102
rpcport=20102

rpcuser=RPCUSER
rpcpassword=RPCPASS

3. Run Verge node

Example Starting a Verge Node

# Path to your verge application and path to the config above
/Applications/Verge-Qt.app/Contents/MacOS/Verge-Qt -datadir=/Users/username/blockchains/verge-core/networks/mainnet/

4. Start Bitcore

npm run bootstrap  (if you are using ubuntu 18.04 you will need to do this)
npm run node

If you'd like to use Docker go to the docker manual.
