Run a WojakCoin Node
Running a full WojakCore node validates the WojakCoin blockchain yourself, strengthens the network, and lets you use your own wallet and RPC without trusting a third party.
▸ 1. Download WojakCore
Grab the latest WojakCore release for your OS — Linux (x86_64 or ARM64), Windows, or macOS. The archive contains the node daemon (wojakcoind), the CLI (wojakcoin-cli), and the desktop wallet (wojakcoin-qt).

Make the data directory and a wojakcoin.conf with RPC enabled (see the example below). Choose a strong rpcpassword. txindex=1 is optional but lets the node serve full transaction lookups.
▸ 3. Start the node
Run the daemon headless with wojakcoind -daemon, or just launch the wojakcoin-qt desktop app — it runs a full node and a wallet together. On first run the node connects to peers and begins downloading the chain.
▸ 4. Let it sync
The node downloads and verifies the full WojakCoin blockchain (a one-time process). Track progress with wojakcoin-cli getblockchaininfo (watch "blocks" approach "headers") and wojakcoin-cli getpeerinfo to confirm connections.
> Place this in ~/.wojakcoin/wojakcoin.conf (create the folder if it doesn't exist):
server=1
daemon=1
txindex=1
rpcuser=wojak
rpcpassword=CHANGE_ME_to_a_long_random_value
rpcport=20760
# P2P listening port (default)
# port=20759wojak@node:~$ wojakcoind -daemon# start the node (headless)
wojak@node:~$ wojakcoin-cli getblockchaininfo# check sync progress and chain state
wojak@node:~$ wojakcoin-cli getpeerinfo# see connected peers
wojak@node:~$ wojakcoin-cli getnewaddress# create / check a wallet address
wojak@node:~$ wojakcoin-cli getbalance
wojak@node:~$ wojakcoin-cli stop# stop the node cleanly

To allow inbound connections, forward TCP port 20759 to your machine. Keep your rpcuser/rpcpassword private and never expose the RPC port to the public internet.
