Package Exports

bitcore-node
bitcore-node/build/src/server.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (bitcore-node) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

            "host": "127.0.0.1",
            "port": 20009,
            "username": "username",
            "password": "password"
          }
        },
        "regtest": {
          "chainSource": "p2p",
          "trustedPeers": [
            {
              "host": "127.0.0.1",

          }
        }
      },
      "BCH": {
        "mainnet": {
          "parentChain": "BTC",
          "forkHeight": 478558,
          "trustedPeers": [
            {
              "host": "127.0.0.1",
              "port": 30008
            }
          ],
          "rpc": {

            "port": 30009,
            "username": "username",
            "password": "password"
          }
        },
        "regtest": {
          "chainSource": "p2p",
          "trustedPeers": [
            {
              "host": "127.0.0.1",
              "port": 30020

          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

2. Setup Bitcoin Node

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 Bitcoin node

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
