STONE Network Portal

Option A — Wallet & Node GUI (recommended)

Node + web wallet in one app. Sign in with your portal wallet username/password.

Option B — Bloodstone Node GUI (node only)

Graphical dashboard: start/stop the node, sync progress, peers, and logs.

1. Install Node.js 18 LTS (64-bit) on your PC.
2. Download and extract bloodstone-node-gui-0.6.9.2-win64-source.zip to a folder, e.g. C:\Bloodstone\bloodstone-node-gui.
3. Add the node binaries to bin\win64\ inside that folder:
   • If bloodstone-node-0.6.9.1-win64.zip is available, extract bloodstoned.exe and bloodstone-cli.exe into bin\win64\.
   • Or build them from source on another machine and copy the .exe files there.
4. Open PowerShell in the extracted folder and run:

   .\build-windows.ps1

   This creates an installer under dist\.
5. Run dist\bloodstone-node-gui-0.6.9.2-win64.exe (or the portable *-portable.exe) and click Start Node.
6. Allow Windows Firewall access for TCP port 17333 when prompted (incoming peers).

Option C — Command line only

For advanced users who prefer a terminal over the GUI.

1. Download bloodstone-node-0.6.9.1-win64.zip when available, and extract to e.g. C:\Bloodstone\node.
2. Create the data folder: %APPDATA%\Bloodstone\
3. Copy bloodstone.conf.example from the zip to %APPDATA%\Bloodstone\bloodstone.conf and set your own rpcpassword.
4. Ensure the config includes:

   addnode=64.188.22.190:17333
   server=1
   txindex=1
   allowminingwhennotconnected=1

5. Open Command Prompt in the extract folder and start the node:

   bloodstoned.exe -conf=%APPDATA%\Bloodstone\bloodstone.conf

6. Check sync in a second window:

   bloodstone-cli.exe -conf=%APPDATA%\Bloodstone\bloodstone.conf getblockchaininfo
