BaiCoin Running Instructions

Ubuntu

Recommended versions are Ubuntu 16-18 :warning: Using 20.04 will prevent you from adding the bitcoin/bitcoin repository. Its a known issue. (You can use a docker if you do not have a recommended OS version. Checkout the Running on docker section below)

First command returned an error?

ගොනා වගේ 20.04 එකක දැම්මද? දැන් ඉතින් මෝඩ ගැසට් රිවස් බයියා උඹ 18.04 එකක් install කරපන්. නැත්නම් docker එකේ රන් කරපන්. අර උඩ ලියල තියන එක දැන්වත් බලපන්.. හයියෝ... First, make sure that the above required packages are installed on the system unless you run the docker.

By now, you should have cloned the repo. Go there.

No you ගොන් බයියා.. not go there on foot! Just cd to that directory!!

Running the Wallet App

Running on the test net

cd bin
./baicoin-qt -testnet

Running on the main net

cd bin
./baicoin-qt

Adding a seed node

First create the configurations required to run.

cd ~
mkdir .baicoin
cd .baicoin
cat << EOF > baicoin.conf
server=1
rpcuser=bainameyoulike
rpcpassword=baipasswordwhichislongliketheharborloan
EOF

Did you just run that?

හයියෝ you මෝඩ තැරි දාර බයියා... Change that password under rpcpassword to something you only know!

Then run the BaiCoin binary

cd bin
./baicoind &

Let the community know the IP of your seed node. You can always send a pull request if you know how to add a seed node in the code. Else you can post in the discussion.

Running the BaiCoin Daemon (This is not tested. Feedbacks are appriciated)

⚠️ Make sure you have run the configuration creation part of the Adding a seed node section first.

cd bin
./baicoind --daemon
./baicoind help

Error came up?

කෝමාරිකා බයියා! අර උඩ config file එක දැම්මද බලපන්!

How do I check my balance?

cd /bin
./baicoind getinfo

How to mine BaiCoin ?

Start the Baicon daemon using the following command :

./baicoind --daemon

Set the set generate flag to true

./baicoind setgenerate true 3

Here, 3 means the number of CPUs you allocate. Wait until your machine find the next valid block. You can check your balance as stated above.

Running on docker

ℹ️ No need of locally installing the pre requisites if you run the docker

Pre Requisites

Install docker

sudo apt install docker.io

⚠️ Make sure you change the username and password in docker/baicoin.conf

Build and run

From the cloned directory, run...

docker build -f docker/Dockerfile . -t baicoins
docker run --name baicoin_miner -id baicoins

Now you can go into the docker using docker exec -it baicoin_miner /bin/bash. In there you can use the commands described in the sections below. To transfer any mined coins, do

./baicoind --daemon
./baicoind getinfo
./baicoind sendtoaddress <your_address>
