(Was known as Bitcoin Standup and FullyNoded-2, updates to rename still in progress)
Gordian-System is a series of open source projects and a suite of tools that helps users to install a Bitcoin-Core full-node on a fresh computer or VPS and to add important privacy tools like onion services. It will eventually also support optional Bitcoin-related tools like Electrum Personal Server, C-Lightning, Esplora, and BTCPay Server as well as emerging technologies like Bitcoin-based Decentralized Identifiers. Bitcoin-Standup strives to provide the community with an easy to use "one-click" set up full-node complete with a purpose built remote app for securely connecting to your node over Tor from anywhere in the world, providing you with a powerful suite of tools.
This tool will also harden and secure your OS to current best practices and will add sufficient system tools to support basic Bitcoin development. After setup, Bitcoin-Standup will present a QR code and/or special URI that can be used to securely link your full-node to other devices, such as a remote desktop or a mobile phone using FullyNoded 2 or Fully Noded 1 on iOS.
This repo contains a table of contents for various Standup projects and features. Please see individual repos and pages for more information.
macOS StandUp.app is a personal one-click installer for Bitcoin Core and Tor that will present a QuickConnect QR code that can be used to pair mobile wallets for remote use over Tor V3.
MacOS Standup has been developed and tested on "Mojave" and "Catalina", it can be installed via a DMG or an Xcode compilation
Linux Bitcoin-StandUp-Scripts achieve the same thing as MacOS StandUp, but come in the form of Linux scripts.
The easiest-to-use Linux scripts run through the StackScript system at Linode, but you can alternatively use Linux scripts that have been tested with Debian Stretch and Ubuntu 18.04.
Quick Connect API defines the spec for a deep link URI and a scannable QR Code. It is used by Bitcoin-Standup as well as by several server-side node manufacturers.
More information about the purpose and design of Bitcoin-Standup can be found in the following documents:
- Why Run a Full Node? Why would you want to run a full node in the first place? There are advantages in validation, privacy, security, liquidity, and education.
- Security for Bitcoin-Standup. Notes on ensuring the security of your Bitcoin-Standup node.
The full node created by Bitcoin-Standup can also be interlinked with other projects from Blockchain Commons.
- iOS FullyNoded 2 is a state-of-the-art mobile wallet that was made to work with a Bitcoin-Standup full node. You can scan the QuickConnect QR code from Bitcoin-Standup and easily create mutli-sig wallets where one key gets stored on your device, one on your node, and one in offline backup.
- Learning Bitcoin from the Command Line is a tutorial for programming the
bitcoin-cli, which can be run using a full node such as the one created by Bitcoin-Standup.
