Bitcore Node Zcoin

A Zcoin full node for building applications and services with Node.js. A node is extensible and can be configured to run additional services. At the minimum a node has an interface to Zcoin Core v0.12.1.x for more advanced address queries. Additional services can be enabled to make a node more useful such as exposing new APIs, running a block explorer and wallet service.

Prerequisites

• Zcoin Core (v0.13.6.x) with support for additional indexing (see above)
• Node.js v0.10, v0.12, v4 or v5
• ZeroMQ (libzmq3-dev for Ubuntu/Debian or zeromq on OSX)
• ~20GB of disk storage
• ~1GB of RAM

Quick Start

A simple installation script is implemented in scripts/install-insight.sh. It was tested on Ubuntu 16.04 with NodeJS v6.14.4 and the bundled npm 3.10.10. Here is a simple invocation example:

git clone git@github.com:zcoinofficial/bitcore-node-zcoin.git
bitcore-node-zcoin/scripts/install-insight.sh insight
# Please modify your insight/bitcore-node-zcoin.json config before starting
cd insight
node_modules/bitcore-node-zcoin/bin/bitcore-node-zcoin start

Configuration

bitcore-node-zcoin create -d <zcoin-data-dir> mynode
cd mynode
bitcore-node-zcoin install <service>
bitcore-node-zcoin install https://github.com/yourname/helloworld
bitcore-node-zcoin start

This will create a directory with configuration files for your node and install the necessary dependencies.

Please note that Zcoin Core v0.13.6.x will be downloaded automatically. Once completed the zcoind binary should be placed into the <zcoin-data-dir> folder specified during node creation.

For more information about (and developing) services, please see the Service Documentation.
