# this manual is copy-paste-able, that's what all the # are for, to mark them as comments

# Step 1: buy your cheap virtual server
# Using my link you should get 10 dollars welcome bonus.

# Quickstart described above in posting #38; longer manual is linked from there.

# Step 2: prepare the server
# Described above in posting #31 until this line:
#
# (SERVER IS PREPARED. FROM HERE ON YOU CAN INSTALL OTHER WALLETS)
#

# Step 3: compile & configure covend

# where to find db4.8 tell your system  (needs to be redone after reboot)
export BDB_INCLUDE_PATH="/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.8/include"
export BDB_LIB_PATH="/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.8/lib"


# Wallet sources from github, and build the headless server daemon "covend"

# clone from bitbucket
# change directory to sourcecodefolder
git clone https://bitbucket.org/CovCOVEN/coven  
cd coven/src                        

# compile (takes many minutes, contact me if there are errors)
make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=-  

# copy binary to the other binaries, change directory to home
sudo cp Covend /usr/local/bin          
cd ~


# create config file - copy-paste all in one go.

# Step 4: usage of covend

# start server
# Should result in "Coven server starting":
Covend

# for some reason the blockchain stopped at 1400, so I stopped and restarted, now all is fine:
Covend stop
Covend

# Most important RPC commands:

# see if the blockchain is syncing (right now "blocks" : 2247), and connected to which peers
Covend getinfo
Covend getpeerinfo  

# most important RPC commands (try them one by one, no danger)

# Write it on a piece of paper! Store that paper well:
