1. 1. Download WojakCore

   Grab the latest WojakCore release for your OS — Linux (x86_64 or ARM64), Windows, or macOS. The archive contains the node daemon (wojakcoind), the CLI (wojakcoin-cli), and the desktop wallet (wojakcoin-qt).

2. 2. Create a config file

   Make the data directory and a wojakcoin.conf with RPC enabled (see the example below). Choose a strong rpcpassword. txindex=1 is optional but lets the node serve full transaction lookups.

3. 3. Start the node

   Run the daemon headless with wojakcoind -daemon, or just launch the wojakcoin-qt desktop app — it runs a full node and a wallet together. On first run the node connects to peers and begins downloading the chain.

4. 4. Let it sync

   The node downloads and verifies the full WojakCoin blockchain (a one-time process). Track progress with wojakcoin-cli getblockchaininfo (watch "blocks" approach "headers") and wojakcoin-cli getpeerinfo to confirm connections.

Place this in ~/.wojakcoin/wojakcoin.conf (create the folder if it doesn't exist):

server=1
daemon=1
txindex=1
rpcuser=wojak
rpcpassword=CHANGE_ME_to_a_long_random_value
rpcport=20760
# P2P listening port (default)
# port=20759

# Start the node (headless)
wojakcoind -daemon

# Check sync progress and chain state
wojakcoin-cli getblockchaininfo

# See connected peers
wojakcoin-cli getpeerinfo

# Create / check a wallet address
wojakcoin-cli getnewaddress
wojakcoin-cli getbalance

# Stop the node cleanly
wojakcoin-cli stop

To allow inbound connections, forward TCP port 20759 to your machine. Keep your rpcuser/rpcpassword private and never expose the RPC port to the public internet.
