Background

vBFI provides the equivalent number of bitcoin confirmations that a VeriBlock block has.


How to set up

  1. Run a full nodecore instance: NodeCore_QuickStart
  2. Open up port 4567 for bfi
  3. Add file bfi.conf
  4. In nodecore.properties, set bfi.enabled=true

If you run getdiagnosticinfo, you will see this flag enabled.

bfi.conf

bfi {
    blockChainNetwork = mainnet
    nodeCoreRpcHost = "127.0.0.1:10500"
    httpApiBindPort = 4567
    httpApiNotificationsTest = true
    forkThreatThreshold = 2
    forkThreatRatioThreshold = 0.8
}

nodecore.properties

# Enable BFI
bfi.enabled=true
