Joinmarket + MyNodeBtc

Hello. This tutorial is for installing Joinmarket wallet and make it work with mynodebtc full node. You'll need a separate computer or laptop (old laptops are perfect for this). The tutorial is created with UbuntuOS in mind but it should be very similar to any other OS.

Step 1: Go to mynodebtc web page and select "Manage" under the Bitcoin Core service.
You will see a RPC PASSWORD field, click show and copy somewhere the password. We'll need it later.
Quit the mynode webpage.

#Next we will install JM on your personal PC
#Go to web and follow the installation guide for your Operating system. After installing Joinmarket jump to step 3.

Step 2: For Ubuntu (type these commands one by one in terminal. Skip lines that start with #):
#Download Source Code (zip)
git clone https://github.com/JoinMarket-Org/joinmarket-clientserver.git
cd joinmarket-clientserver/
sudo apt-get install virtualenv
./install.sh
#Select yes for Qt-dependencies. This is the GUI or visual interface of the software.
source jmvenv/bin/activate
cd scripts/
python joinmarket-qt.py
#throws out an error saying config file must be edited (check exactly where the config file was created and go there and edit it)
cd .joinmarket/
sudo nano joinmarket.cfg
#modify rpc_host=<mynode ip>, rpc_user=mynode, rpc_password=<pass>
(to exit press ctrl+x, y, enter)

Step 3: Modify the Joinmarket config file to connect to mynode (For all operating systems):
#modify rpc_host=<mynode ip>, rpc_user=mynode, rpc_password=<pass>
(to exit press ctrl+x, y, enter)

#go back to joinmarket/scripts folder
cd Downloads/joinmarket-clientserver/scripts/
python joinmarket-qt.py

#At this point you should see Joinmarket GUI starting.
