BTC Testnet Setup

Get Bitcoin Core

wget https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.16.0/bitcoin-0.15.1-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz
tar -xf bitcoin-0.16.0-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz

Data are stored in /data/testnet, in folders /data/testnet/bitcoin for Bitcoin Core data, /data/testnet/blockbook for Blockbook data.

Create configuration file /data/testnet/bitcoin/bitcoin.conf with content

testnet=1
daemon=1
server=1
rpcuser=rpc
rpcpassword=rpc
rpcport=18332
txindex=1

Create script that starts the bitcoind daemon run-testnet-bitcoind.sh with increased rpcworkqueue and configured zeromq

#!/bin/bash

bitcoin-0.15.1/bin/bitcoind -datadir=/data/testnet/bitcoin -rpcworkqueue=32 -zmqpubhashtx=tcp://127.0.0.1:18334 -zmqpubhashblock=tcp://127.0.0.1:18334 -zmqpubrawblock=tcp://127.0.0.1:18334 -zmqpubrawtx=tcp://127.0.0.1:18334

Run the run-testnet-bitcoind.sh to get initial import of data.

Create blockchain configuration file /data/testnet/blockbook/btc-testnet.json

{
  "rpcURL": "http://127.0.0.1:18332",
  "rpcUser": "rpc",
  "rpcPass": "rpc",
  "rpcTimeout": 25,
  "parse": true,
  "zeroMQBinding": "tcp://127.0.0.1:18334"
}

Create script that runs blockbook run-testnet-blockbook.sh

#!/bin/bash

cd go/src/blockbook
./blockbook -coin=btc-testnet -blockchaincfg=/data/testnet/blockbook/btc-testnet.json  -datadir=/data/testnet/blockbook/db -sync -httpserver=:18335 -socketio=:18336 -certfile=server/testcert -explorer=https://testnet-bitcore1.trezor.io $1

To run blockbook with logging to file (run with nohup or daemonize or using screen)

./run-testnet-blockbook.sh 2>/data/testnet/blockbook/blockbook.log
