Using Bitcoin core data for bitcore-node

elichai commented 8 years ago

Hi, Is it possible to use Bitcoin core data for bitcore-node? (I tried just setting up a link and I got this error:) (I have txindex on in my Bitcoin Core)

[2016-07-12T14:35:06.223Z] error: Invalid state: "txindex" option is required in order to use transaction query features of bitcore-node. Please add "txindex=1" to your configuration and reindex an existing database if necessary with reindex=1

Yes, you can use the existing blocks however you'll need to reindex after updating bitcoin.conf to enable addressindex, spentindex and timestampindex, plus enable zmq. It's generally a good idea to keep the datadir separate from the default bitcoin location so that there isn't confusion if you have both versions.

How can I do all that?

There is a guide that goes over the options here:

Hi, I did it and now I get this Error:

@elichai That's simply a nodejs error with native modules - you'll want to reinstall bitcore-node, or go into the containing directory (/home/elichai2/mynode) and npm rebuild.

This fixed it. Now it works fine except the blocks section (insight is "waiting for blocks" endlessly)

Did you ever figure that out? The waiting for blocks thing? I have this issue.
