Easiest Method

Docker is the fastest way to run a node on any platform: 

docker run -d -p 44556:44556 soqucoin/soqucoin

Quick Start

# Start the daemon
./soqucoind -daemon

# Check sync status
./soqucoin-cli getblockchaininfo

# Get a new address
./soqucoin-cli getnewaddress

Configuration

Create ~/.soqucoin/soqucoin.conf:

# Basic node configuration
server=1
daemon=1
txindex=1

# RPC access (required for mining and CLI tools)
rpcuser=your_rpc_user
rpcpassword=your_rpc_password
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1

# Network (Stagenet)
port=44556
rpcport=44555

Mining Configuration

If you plan to run the SOQ Solo Miner, add ZMQ support:

server=1
daemon=1
txindex=1

# RPC
rpcuser=soqucoin
rpcpassword=YOUR_SECURE_PASSWORD
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=44555
rpcworkqueue=128
rpcthreads=8

# ZMQ (required for solo mining)
zmqpubhashblock=tcp://127.0.0.1:28332

Network Ports

Network P2P Port RPC Port
Stagenet 44556 44555
Regtest 18444 18332

Verify Installation

After starting the node, verify it's syncing:

# Check block height
./soqucoin-cli getblockcount

# View connected peers
./soqucoin-cli getpeerinfo | grep -c "addr"

# Network hashrate
./soqucoin-cli getnetworkhashps

Your node is fully synced when the block count matches the network height on SOQ-TEC.
