- You should start bchd with a least the following options:
- `bchd -u yourUsername -P yourPassword --rpclisten=0.0.0.0 --externalip=your_ip_here`
- Alternatively you can put these options in the config file found at `~/.bchd/bchd.conf` so you don't need to enter them at start.
- ```
- rpcuser=your_username
- rpcpass=your_loooooonnng_password
- rpclisten=0.0.0.0
- externalip=your_ip_here
- ```
- On the very first start bchd generates a `rpc.key` and `rpc.cert` file and puts them in the data directory. `~/.bchd/rpc.cert`, etc.
- The cert file MUST have your external IP in it or it wont connect. This is why you pass the `--externalip=` option in at start. It will
- put the IP you pass in into the `rpc.cert` file when it creates it.
- If you already started bchd once without the `--externalip=` flag it likely created the cert file without your IP in it. This is OK, however,
- as you can just delete the `rpc.key` and `rpc.cert` files and restart bchd with the `--externalip=` option and it will create
- a new key and cert.
- From the Neutrino Android Wallet side I recommend letting the wallet sync to the tip in SPV mode before entering your bchd credentials. You technically
- can sync to the tip after entering your credentials but it is much slower than just syncing in SPV mode *then* entering your credentials and connecting to bchd.
- This should not be considered a security reduction because the wallet will detect if the previous chain tip (from syncing SPV) doesn't match the current chain tip (reported
- by your full node) and will rollback and rescan from any fork point if one is detected.
- To enter the credentials in the wallet you will need:
- - The IP address of your full node
- - Your `rpcuser` username
- - Your `rpcpassword` password
- - The text of the `rpc.cert` file
- The connection to your full node will be encrypted and authenticated.
