DOGE Regtest

Testnet​

  1. Download the binaries, extract to the bin folder
wget https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin/releases/download/v1.14.7/dogecoin-1.14.7-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz
tar -xzvf dogecoin-1.14.7-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz
mv dogecoin-1.14.7/bin/* ~/bin/

# We can remove these
rm -rf dogecoin-1.14.7 dogecoin-1.14.7-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz
  1. Create home dir for dogecoin
mkdir ~/.dogecoin
  1. Initialize configuration, set your own rpcuser and rpcpassword
echo 'daemon=1
server=1
testnet=1
listen=1
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1
rpcuser=dogecoinrpc
rpcpassword=CCwXB6IxXcYMlBd6w812yfmiahxYBnlR0KLlvMIjgOrGq9eqgj9WmdeTCSDVo4w9
paytxfee=0.01' > ~/.dogecoin/dogecoin.conf
  1. Start the node
dogecoind
  1. Verify the node is started
dogecoin-cli getinfo

You should see a response like this:

{
  "version": 1140700,
  "protocolversion": 70015,
  "walletversion": 130000,
  "balance": 0.00000000,
  "blocks": 55054,
  "timeoffset": 0,
  "connections": 8,
  "proxy": "",
  "difficulty": 0.0005981929943754981,
  "testnet": true,
  "keypoololdest": 1715596527,
  "keypoolsize": 100,
  "paytxfee": 0.01000000,
  "relayfee": 0.00100000,
  "errors": ""
}

Regtest​

Alternative way is to create our own regtest network.

Everything is the same, but we should set different dogecoin.conf configuration:

daemon=1
server=1
regtest=1
listen=1
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1
rpcuser=dogecoinrpc
rpcpassword=CCwXB6IxXcYMlBd6w812yfmiahxYBnlR0KLlvMIjgOrGq9eqgj9WmdeTCSDVo4w9
paytxfee=0.01

addnode=...
addnode=...

Define addresses of all other nodes in addnode field. Default P2P port for regtest is 18444.

  1. Mine first blocks
dogecoin-cli generate 110
[
  "ad3c340e804e0b08af4b3302613b8f8f02ad7b4ea1cb2267e296868ee9705027",
  ...
]
  1. Verify blocks are mined
dogecoin-cli getblockcount
110

You can do the same on the other nodes, to verify P2P connection.

  1. Check the balance on our node
dogecoin-cli getbalance
35000000.00000000
