Setup Guide

1. Setup Bitcore config

The definition for all the chain configuration can be found in src/types/Config.ts

Example bitcore.config.json
{
  "bitcoreNode": {
    "chains": {
      "BTC": {
        "mainnet": {
          "chainSource": "p2p",
          "trustedPeers": [
            {
              "host": "127.0.0.1",
              "port": 20008
            }
          ],
          "rpc": {
            "host": "127.0.0.1",
            "port": 20009,
            "username": "username",
            "password": "password"
          }
        },
        "regtest": {
          "chainSource": "p2p",
          "trustedPeers": [
            {
              "host": "127.0.0.1",
              "port": 20020
            }
          ],
          "rpc": {
            "host": "127.0.0.1",
            "port": 20021,
            "username": "username",
            "password": "password"
          }
        }
      },
      "BCH": {
        "mainnet": {
          "parentChain": "BTC",
          "forkHeight": 478558,
          "trustedPeers": [
            {
              "host": "127.0.0.1",
              "port": 30008
            }
          ],
          "rpc": {
            "host": "127.0.0.1",
            "port": 30009,
            "username": "username",
            "password": "password"
          }
        },
        "regtest": {
          "chainSource": "p2p",
          "trustedPeers": [
            {
              "host": "127.0.0.1",
              "port": 30020
            }
          ],
          "rpc": {
            "host": "127.0.0.1",
            "port": 30021,
            "username": "username",
            "password": "password"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

2. Setup Your Blockchain Nodes

Example Bitcoin Mainnet Config
whitelist=127.0.0.1
txindex=0
listen=1
server=1
irc=1
upnp=1

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

# if using Bitcoin Core v0.17+ prefix
# [main]

port=20008
rpcport=20009
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1

rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password

3. Run Your Blockchain Nodes

Example Starting a Bitcoin Node
# Path to your bitcoin application and path to the config above
/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt.app/Contents/MacOS/Bitcoin-Qt -datadir=/Users/username/blockchains/bitcoin-core/networks/mainnet/

4. Start Bitcore

npm run node

Bitcore will begin using your blockchain nodes to synchronize its own database so that you can use standardized queries to get data from each of your supported blockchains.
