Instructions for node setup

Create a 600GB storage optimized digital ocean droplet (32 GB ram, 4 CPU)


Create a user:

adduser goku
sudo visudo
# goku ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL

su goku
cd ~/
mkdir ~/.ssh
cat > ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/geohot/configuration/master/.tmux.conf
git clone https://github.com/geohot/go-ethereum.git -b cheapeth
cd go-ethereum
sudo apt install make golang-go
make geth

./build/bin/geth --syncmode fast --cache 26000 --rpc --rpcaddr 127.0.0.1 --rpcapi eth,web3,debug,net --rpcvhosts=* --networkid 777 --mine

# for miner (in new window)
# WARNING: CPU MINER NOT GOOD ANYMORE
# USE GPU MINER
geth attach
> personal.newAccount()
> miner.start()

# for GPU miner (after chain is synced)
# download ethminer
ethminer -G -P http://127.0.0.1:8545/
# or if you have friend with chain you can use their ip

# for RPC server, setup nginx
sudo apt-get install nginx
https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/start/topics/recipes/geth/

# for let's encrypt
sudo apt-get install python3-certbot-nginx
sudo certbot --nginx -d rpc.cheapeth.org

# for reliable RPC endpoint
