Creacore Node

A Creacoin blockchain indexing and query service. Intended to be used with as a Creacoin full node or in conjunction with a Creacoin full node.

Upgrading from previous versions of Creacore Node

There is no upgrade path from previous versions of Creacore Node due to the removal of the included Creacoin Core software. By installing this version, you must resynchronize the indexes from scratch.

Install

npm install
./bin/creacore-node start

Note: A default configuration file is placed in the creacore user's home directory (~/.creacore/creacore-node.json). Or, alternatively, you can copy the provided "creacore-node.json.sample" file to the project's root directory as creacore-node.json and edit it for your preferences. If you don't have a preferred block source (trusted peer), Bcoin will be started automatically and synchronized with the mainnet chain.
