Hello ~
So I have been asked many times what did I do to get my Bitcoin Gold Full Node going. I am going to share my build directions to you all and if you have any questions let me know.
To get the latest version of Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS head over to the download section of the Ubuntu page at
http://releases.ubuntu.com/16.04/Install and Setup the x64 Bit system for your Hardware. You need Min. install with SSH Server
Once done with Ubuntu install follow the below directions.
1) sudo apt-get update
2) sudo apt-get install -y curl git build-essential libtool autotools-dev automake pkg-config bsdmainutils python3 libx11-xcb-dev libfontconfig-dev
3) sudo apt-get install -y build-essential libtool autotools-dev automake pkg-config libssl-dev libevent-dev bsdmainutils libsodium-dev
4) sudo apt-get install -y libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-chrono-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-test-dev libboost-thread-dev libboost1.58-all-dev
5) sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
6) sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev
7) git clone
https://github.com/BTCGPU/BTCGPU.git8 ) cd BTCGPU/depends
9) make
10) cd ..
11) ./autogen.sh && ./configure –prefix=/root/BTCGPU/depends/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu –disable-shared && make -j 4
You are going to have to create a conf file for the Daemon to use.
How to create conf file
touch $HOME/.bitcoingold/bitcoingold.conf
Add this config to conf:
rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=pass
rpcport=18337
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
addnode=128.199.226.221
addnode=46.101.195.208
Command line start of your newly installed Full Node. Below is the start I use
./bgoldd -rest -server -rpcuser=user -rpcpassword=pass-rpcport=18337 -deamon -printtoconsole -showmetrics -conf=/root/.bitcoingold/bitcoingold.conf
Note: Make sure you change the user name and password in the bitcoin.conf file and the startup script to your desired login and password.
