3. [Use](#use)


Install
-------

#### btcsuite

Install btcd and btcwallet:

```
curl -O https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bt/btcd/btcd.tar.gz
tar xvzf btcd.tar.gz
cd btcd
makepkg -Acsi --pkg btcd,btcwallet
```

#### counterparty

Install counterparty-cli (provides client and server):

```
pacaur -S counterparty-cli
```


Sync
----

#### btcsuite

Make data directories:

```
mkdir ~/.btc{ctl,d,wallet}
chmod 700 ~/.btc{ctl,d,wallet}
# disable Btrfs CoW: https://github.com/atweiden/dotfiles/blob/master/_functions.d/chattrify.sh
for _dir in btcctl btcd btcwallet; do
  chattrify "$_dir" "700" "linuxusername" "linuxusergroup"
done
```

Edit btcd config files for mainnet:

```
cat > ~/.btcd/btcd.conf << 'EOF'
[Application Options]
rpcuser=btcd_mainnet
rpcpass=btcd_mainnet_secret
notls=1
addrindex=1
EOF
```

Edit btcd config files for testnet:

```
cat > ~/.btcd/btcd.testnet.conf << 'EOF'
[Application Options]
rpcuser=btcd_testnet
rpcpass=btcd_testnet_secret
notls=1
testnet=1
addrindex=1
EOF
```

Edit btcctl config files for mainnet:

```
cat > ~/.btcctl/btcctl.conf << 'EOF'

notls=1
EOF
```

```
cat > ~/.btcctl/wallet.conf << 'EOF'
[Application Options]
rpcuser=btcw_mainnet
rpcpass=btcw_mainnet_secret
notls=1
EOF
```

Edit btcctl config files for testnet:

```
cat > ~/.btcctl/wallet.testnet.conf << 'EOF'
[Application Options]
rpcuser=btcw_testnet
rpcpass=btcw_testnet_secret
notls=1
testnet=1
EOF
```

Sync btcd:

```
# mainnet
btcd &
btcctl getmininginfo

# testnet
btcd -C ~/.btcd/btcd.testnet.conf &
btcctl -C ~/.btcctl/btcctl.testnet.conf getmininginfo
```

Edit btcwallet config files:

```
cat > ~/.btcwallet/btcwallet.conf << 'EOF'
[Application Options]
mainnet=1
username=btcw_mainnet
password=btcw_mainnet_secret

```

Sync btcwallet:

```
# for tls
cp ~/.btcd/rpc.cert ~/.btcwallet/btcd.cert

# mainnet
btcwallet --create
btcwallet &

# testnet
btcwallet -C ~/.btcwallet/btcwallet.testnet.conf --create
btcwallet -C ~/.btcwallet/btcwallet.testnet.conf &
```

#### counterparty

Make data directory:

```
mkdir -p ~/.counterparty ~/.config/counterparty
chmod 700 ~/.counterparty ~/.config/counterparty

# disable Btrfs CoW: https://github.com/atweiden/dotfiles/blob/master/_functions.d/chattrify.sh
chattrify "~/.counterparty" "700" "linuxusername" "linuxusergroup"
```

Fetch Counterparty bootstrap database:

```
cd ~/.counterparty

# mainnet
