Introduction

Here is the documentation for setting up bitcoind. If you are looking for educational resources on Bitcoin please visit the Bitcoin SV wiki

The Bitcoin White paper clearly defines that a node must create and distribute valid blocks to be deemed such. Though other entities may be a ‘node’ in an overlay network graph, they have no status in respect to enforcing the BSV Blockchain protocol. Therefore, BSV node software is only for miners.

This documentation is not a single source of truth and not intended to dictate what settings a Miner should/should not use.

Herein you can learn more about the architecture and the system requirements, both should be considered as required reading before proceeding to the installation. This documentation also provides you with the steps required to deploy the software.
