Build Status Go Report Card ISC License GoDoc

bchd is an alternative full node bitcoin cash implementation written in Go (golang).

This project is a port of the btcd codebase to Bitcoin Cash. It provides a high powered and reliable blockchain server which makes it a suitable backend to serve blockchain data to lite clients and block explorers or to power your local wallet.

bchd does not include any wallet functionality by design as it makes the codebase more modular and easy to maintain. The bchwallet is a separate application that provides a secure Bitcoin Cash wallet that communicates with your running bchd instance via the API.

Requirements

Go 1.9 or newer.

Install

Install Pre-built Packages

The easiest way to run the server is to download a pre-built binary. You can find binaries of our latest release for each operating system at the releases page.

Build from Source

If you prefer to install from source do the following:

  • Install Go according to the installation instructions here: http://golang.org/doc/install

  • Run the following commands to obtain btcd, all dependencies, and install it:

$ go get github.com/gcash/bchd

This will download and compile bchd and put it in your path.

If you are a bchd contributor and would like to change the default config file (bchd.conf), make any changes to sample-bchd.conf and then run the following commands:

$ go-bindata sample-bchd.conf  # requires github.com/go-bindata/go-bindata/
$ gofmt -s -w bindata.go

Getting Started

To start bchd with default options just run:

$ ./bchd

You'll find a large number of runtime options on the help menu. All of which can also be set in a config file. See the sample config file for an example of how to use it.

Docker

Building and running bchd in docker is quite painless. To build the image:

docker build . -t bchd

To run the image:

docker run bchd

To run bchctl and connect to your bchd instance:

# Find the running bchd container.
docker ps

# Exec bchctl.
docker exec <container> bchctl <command>

Overview

Code generated by go-bindata. (@generated) DO NOT EDIT. sources: sample-bchd.conf

bchd is a full-node bitcoin cash implementation written in Go.

The default options are sane for most users. This means bchd will work 'out of the box' for most users. However, there are also a wide variety of flags that can be used to control it.

The following section provides a usage overview which enumerates the flags. An interesting point to note is that the long form of all of these options (except -C) can be specified in a configuration file that is automatically parsed when bchd starts up. By default, the configuration file is located at ~/.bchd/bchd.conf on POSIX-style operating systems and %LOCALAPPDATA%\bchd\bchd.conf on Windows. The -C (--configfile) flag, as shown below, can be used to override this location.

Usage:
