bitcoin (P2P electronic cash system)
Bitcoin is a free open source peer-to-peer electronic cash system
that is completely decentralized, without the need for a central
server or trusted parties. Users hold the crypto keys to their
own money and transact directly with each other, with the help
of a P2P network to check for double-spending.
Bitcoin Core connects to the Bitcoin peer-to-peer network to
download and fully validate blocks and transactions.
Please make sure to read the release notes first before upgrading:
https://bitcoincore.org/en/releases/29.0/
zeromq is an optional dependency (autodetected). To disable building the graphical components, set GUI=off when building.
To run bitcoin as a system, add to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.bitcoind ]; then
/etc/rc.d/rc.bitcoind start
fi
and to /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown (creating it if needed):
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.bitcoind ]; then
/etc/rc.d/rc.bitcoind stop
fi
The script requires a 'bitcoin' user/group before running.
useradd bitcoin \
--system \
--comment 'bitcoin daemon' \
--shell /bin/false \
--user-group \
--home-dir /var/lib/bitcoin
