SPV is currently in BETA, and is not part of an official release.
Assume there are bugs.
Overview
NodeCore SPV (Simple Payment Verification) is a light wallet that allows a user to see their balance and send VBK without downloading, syncing, and running a full node.
SPV can run as a separate process, and the NC_CLI can connect to an SPV node.
For convenience, a separate package is created by modifying the NC_CLI package that allows one to directly run the SPV.
How to Install
Download BETA from here:
- https://mirror.veriblock.org/veriblock-nodecore-spv-0.4.9-dev.79.tar.gz
- https://mirror.veriblock.org/veriblock-nodecore-spv-0.4.9-dev.79.zip
Tested on OpenJDK 8, 11, 14, for Windows and Ubuntu Linux
How to Run SPV
- Unzip the package to its own folder
- Run "veriblock-spv.bat" (Windows) or "veriblock-spv" (Linux/Mac)
- Wait for the SPV to sync (generally 10 minutes for every 1 million blocks; time will vary)
This means SPV is ready:
SPV is ready. Current blockchain height: 1004200

File Structure
Running the SPV will create a "data" folder, as well as log and wallet files.
Known Issues
This is a BETA, and there are several known issues.
Ensure that a NodeCore full node is not already running, as it will interfere with NC_CLI connecting to SPV.
SPV does not show locked coins (from MainNet launch). If you have a locked-coin balance, SPV will still show as zero.
Running importwallet may take a few minutes to sync the new wallet.
