Bitcoin SV is an implementation of a node for the Bitcoin SV network and is one of the pieces of software that provide the backbone of the network. It downloads and stores the entire history of Bitcoin SV transactions (which is currently several GBs); depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.
To download Bitcoin SV, visit bitcoinsv.io.
Bitcoin SV is only supported on the Unix platform at this time.
To run Bitcoin SV, unpack the files into a directory and run:
bin/bitcoind
- Log an issue on [GitHub] (https://github.com/bitcoin-sv/bitcoin-sv/issues)
- Ask for help on the Bitcoin SV Subreddit or Bictoin Cash SV Subreddit.
The following are developer notes on how to build Bitcoin. They are not complete guides, but include notes on the necessary libraries, compile flags, etc.
The Bitcoin SV repo's root README contains relevant information on the development process and automated testing.
