RPC Node

This folder contains the documentation for setting up and using the RPC Node in the TapTrade Core repository.

Any developer can use this to test this repository in an isolated Regtest node.

Prerequisites

Before using the RPC Node, make sure you have the following prerequisites installed:

To install the RPC Node, follow these steps:

Navigate to the rpc_node folder in the repository.
```
cd rpc_node/regtest
```
Run the following command to build the services:
```
docker compose build
```

Once the containers are built, you can start the Bitcoin and Electrs services:
```
docker compose up -d
```
This command will run the containers in detached mode. To see the logs in real-time, use:
```
docker compose logs -f
```

You can check the status of your containers by running:
```
docker ps
```

The mine-blocks.sh script is designed to automatically create a wallet, generate initial blocks, and then continue generating blocks at intervals.

docker exec -it bitcoin ./mine-blocks.sh bcrt1pcc5nx64a9d6rpk5fkvr6v2lnk06cwxqmgpv3894ehgwkeeal2qusjgjrk3
