Build on GlobalBoost.

These values come straight from the GlobalBoost-Y source code.

DNS seeds your node uses to find peers:

• seeder.globalboost.info
• seeder2.globalboost.info
• seeder3.globalboost.info
• dnsseed.globalboost.cc

To add a peer by hand, put this in your config file:

addnode=seeder.globalboost.info:8226

Install build tools, then compile. This follows the standard Bitcoin Core build steps.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y build-essential libtool autotools-dev automake pkg-config bsdmainutils python3 \
  libevent-dev libboost-dev libsqlite3-dev git
git clone https://github.com/GlobalBoost/GlobalBoost-Y.git
cd GlobalBoost-Y
./autogen.sh
./configure --without-gui
make -j$(nproc)

See the doc folder for Windows, macOS and full dependency notes.

Create a config file in your data folder (~/.globalboost/globalboost.conf on Linux):

server=1
listen=1
txindex=1
rpcuser=changeme
rpcpassword=use-a-long-random-password
rpcbind=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1

Start the node and check that it's syncing:

./src/globalboostd -daemon
./src/globalboost-cli getblockchaininfo
./src/globalboost-cli getconnectioncount

Open port 8226 on your firewall so other nodes can reach you. Never expose the RPC port to the internet.

The node speaks the same JSON-RPC as Bitcoin Core on port 8225.

curl --user changeme --data-binary \
  '{"jsonrpc":"1.0","id":"docs","method":"getblockcount","params":[]}' \
  -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:8225/
