File placement

The files can be placed on your desktop, in your home folder etc. depending on your OS, in a folder of your choosing.

The location of your ledger.db file must be set in the toolsconfig.ini file before running. Follow the comments in the file.

tools.db

On first run, if there is no tools.db then a new one will be created.

This database is used to store sponsor, miner and richlist information and is updated every 30 minutes

Sponsors

Edit the toolsconfig.ini file as follows:

address = insert your the Bismuth address that will receive your payment

sponsors = insert 1 to switch on sponsors or 0 to switch off

rate = insert the number of blocks per Bismuth the sponsor advert will be displayed for

hostname = the base external hostname of the server e.g. bismuth.online

display = insert the maximum number of transaction records to be displayed on query of large addresses if set to zero this will return all transactions

front = insert the number of latest transactions to display on the front page

There are two sponsor spots on the main web landing page of the tools and a sponsor will be picked randomly from your sponsorlist.
