Windows Linux Mac Patriotnode Setup Guide
Local Patriotnode Setup Guide
Static public IP and open Firewall ports are essential to run a Patriot node!
Step 1 - Download latest version
You can download the latest version of FreedomCoin at our GitHub page.
Step 2 - Run the FreedomCoin wallet and let it fully sync.
Once fully sync’d, choose 'Patriot Nodes' from the left column of options (A). Then click on 'Create Patriotnode Controller' (B).
Follow the prompts on the screen.
Give your node a name. The following example we have 'FreedNode2023' but you can name it whatever you like.
Set Patriodenode IP and Port
If you need help finding your ip address, there are many options. speedtest.net is an external site that will show your ip. Your detected ip should be similar to following: 3.149.243.86.
Windows 10 users, click Start > Run > type %appdata% and go to the TrumpCoin folder (Yes the core is still Trumpcoin).
Here is where things get messy. Locate two files: Trumpcoin.conf and patroitnode.conf. Patriotnode.conf will have your Patriotnode data in it.
Open Patriotnode.conf and examine the first 3 pieces of information in the node name line. Note: You may have lines that start with #, those are commented out. The line without the # is the live config info. Part 1 and Part 2 info should be similar to what you entered in earlier steps.
Copy the external IP (Part 2) (ie: 3.149.243.86) and the first hex code (Part 3), “Node start key” and paste this information into the missing details of the trumpcoin.conf file, like so:
patriotnode=1 patriotnodeprivkey=93HaYBVUCYjEMeeH1Y4sBGLALQZE1Yc1K64xiqgX37tGBDQL8Xg externalip=12.34.56.78 server=1 rpcuser=yourrandomusername (Any random name works here ...) rpcpassword=yourrandompassword (Any random password here) rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 (Do not change) patriotnodeaddr=127.0.0.1:15110 (Do not change)Save the trumpcoin.conf changes and close all your .conf files
Restart wallet.
Go to Patriotnodes tab, select patriotnode named PN and press Start.
You should see 'Successfully started patriotnode (Name)'
Congratulations, your patriotnode is now running!
All patriotnodes need to be active for a certain amount of blocks before they are recognized by the network and eligible for rewards.
