## README
# Bitcore Node
**A standardized API to interact with multiple blockchain networks**
Currently supporting:
**[Bitcoin](https://bitcoin.org/), [Bitcoin Cash](https://bitcoincash.org/), [Litecoin](https://litecoin.com/), [Dogecoin](https://dogecoin.com/), [Ripple](https://ripple.com/), [Ethereum](https://ethereum.org/) and [Polygon](https://polygon.technology/)**
## Getting Started
### Requirements
- Trusted P2P Client with an open RPC endpoint
- MongoDB Server >= v3.4
- make g++ gcc
### Checkout the repo
```sh
git clone git@github.com:bitpay/bitcore.git
git checkout master
npm install
```
## 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
```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
```sh
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
```sh
# 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
```sh
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.
