Dogecoin Node

1. A fully synced Dogecoin Core RPC node. 2. Dogecoin rpcuser and rpcpassword configured in dogecoin.conf. 3. OpenClaw Gateway up-to-date. 4. jq installed on the host (sudo apt install jq).

Steps to Configure Node

1. Install binaries and Download Dogecoin Core

cd ~/downloads
curl -L -o dogecoin-1.14.9-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz \
  https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin/releases/download/v1.14.9/dogecoin-1.14.9-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz

2. Extract and Place Binaries

tar xf dogecoin-1.14.9-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz
mkdir -p ~/bin/dogecoin-1.14.9
cp -r dogecoin-1.14.9/* ~/bin/dogecoin-1.14.9/
ln -sf ~/bin/dogecoin-1.14.9/bin/dogecoind ~/dogecoind
ln -sf ~/bin/dogecoin-1.14.9/bin/dogecoin-cli ~/dogecoin-cli

3. Setup Prime Data Directory (for ~/.dogecoin)

./dogecoind -datadir=$HOME/.dogecoin -server=1 -listen=0 -daemon
Wait for RPC to initialize ~30s then stop once RPC is responsive
sleep 30
./dogecoin-cli -datadir=$HOME/.dogecoin stop

4. Configuring RPC Credentials (localhost only)

cat > ~/.dogecoin/dogecoin.conf <<'EOF'
server=1
daemon=1
listen=1
rpcbind=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcuser=
rpcpassword=
txindex=1
EOF

5. Start and Sync

./dogecoind -datadir=$HOME/.dogecoin -daemon

6. Check sync

./dogecoin-cli -datadir=$HOME/.dogecoin getblockcount
./dogecoin-cli -datadir=$HOME/.dogecoin getblockchaininfo
