Usage example

Initialize a custom chaindata

By default, GotaBit chaindata is stored under a hidden directory (.gotabit/)

tree $HOME/.gotabit

$HOME/.gotabit
├── config
│   ├── app.toml
│   ├── client.toml
│   ├── config.toml
│   ├── genesis.json
│   ├── node_key.json
│   └── priv_validator_key.json
└── data
    └── priv_validator_state.json

💡 Tip: Tree command is available free below

# yum install tree  #RHEL/CentOS 7
# dnf install tree  #Fedora 22+ and /RHEL/CentOS 8
$ sudo apt install tree  #Ubuntu/Debian
# sudo zypper in tree   #openSUSE
# brew install tree #MacOSX

Check that gotabitd is available and the version used

gotabitd version --long

Output

version: v1.0.0
commit: "40 alphanumeric string"
build_tags: netgo,ledger
go: go version go1.19.4 darwin/amd64
build_deps:
- filippo.io/[email protected]
- github.com/99designs/[email protected]
...

Then, create your GotaBit chaindata in a custom directory using

1. Moniker = "gtbmdb"
2. Chain Id = "mainnet"
3. Directory = "$HOME/Projects/gtbmdb"

gotabitd init gtbmdb --chain-id mainnet --home "$HOME/Projects/gtbmdb"

Output
