Syscoin Core

Setup

Syscoin Core is the original Syscoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Syscoin transactions, which requires a few hundred gigabytes of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.

To download Syscoin Core, visit syscoincore.org.

The following are some helpful notes on how to run Syscoin Core on your native platform.

Unpack the files into a directory and run:

• bin/syscoin-qt (GUI) or
• bin/syscoind (headless)

Windows
