Example Usage


var index = require('bitcore-node');
var Bitcoin = index.services.Bitcoin;
var Node = index.Node;

var configuration = {
  datadir: '/home/user/.bitcoin',
  network: 'testnet',
  services: [
    {
      name: 'bitcoind',
      module: Bitcoin,
      config: {}
    }
  ]
};

var node = new Node(configuration);

node.start(function() {
  //start the node so the node.on('ready') is actually called. 
});

node.on('ready', function() {
  console.log('Bitcoin Node Ready');
});

node.on('error', function(err) {
  console.error(err);
});

// shutdown the node
node.stop(function() {
  // the shutdown is complete
