How many nodes does Pepecoin have? I hope it is more than 69! This community project is truly amazing!
Guide for running full node
Running Pepecoin full node is not hard at all. If you will follow all the steps and use similar configs you might even appear on the map!
Downloading Pepecoin Core
First of all you will need to download Pepecoin Core. You can download it at link below. Make sure to download latest version and right variant for your system.
Setting up the Node
Linux:
- Create new directory in: /home/your-user/.pepecoin
- Create new file in .pepecoin with: nano pepecoin.conf (who even uses VIM?)
- Copy content of this pepecoin.conf:
- Now you want to start Pepecoin core, for GUi users it is just double click on icon. CLI version starts: /home/your-user/pepecoin/bin/pepecoind (make sure it has executable permission) – you can put this command to crontab so it starts automatically after an reboot.
- You are done. Pepecoin Core does not need you to open ports as it is clever enough to communicate with other nodes. You can although enable TCP port 33874 which is default port all nodes try as first.
Windows:
- Create new directory in C:\Users\your-user\AppData\Roaming\Pepecoin
- Create new file in Pepecoin directory named pepecoin.conf (for example by notepad or just drag and drop the one below)
- Now you are part of Pepecoin Nodes operators (look up above linux step number 5 for more information about opening ports if you want to do that).
