Setup Guide

1. Setup Bitcore config

Example bitcore.config.json

{
  "bitcoreNode": {
    "chains": {
      "PPC": {
        "testnet": {
          "chainSource": "p2p",
          "trustedPeers": [
            {
              "host": "127.0.0.1",
              "port": 9903
            }
          ],
          "rpc": {
            "host": "127.0.0.1",
            "port": 9904,
            "username": "username",
            "password": "password"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

2. Setup Peercoin Node

Example Peercoin testnet Config

whitelist=127.0.0.1
txindex=0
listen=1
server=1
upnp=1
testnet=1
minting=0

# Make sure port & rpcport matches the
# bitcore.config.json ports for PPC testnet

# if using Peercoin v0.8+ prefix
# [main]

port=9903
rpcport=9904
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1

rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password

3. Run Peercoin node

Example Starting a Peercoin Node

# Path to your bitcoin application and path to the config above
/Applications/Peercoin-Qt.app/Contents/MacOS/Peercoin-Qt -datadir=/Users/username/blockchains/peercoin/networks/testnet/

4. Start Bitcore
