Setup the Node and Developer Wallet on Windows

Download

We need any developer node, beta or main net. If you already have one, you can skip this step. The node can be found on nano.org.

Install and run

Run the installer. Once you're finished, run the application. Now you have two choices. See this image.

  • If you want to use the node normally, to interact with the Nano network, then allow it on your Private network.

    NOTE: This will have high CPU, memory, disk and network usage.

  • If you only want to use this for DPoW, then we should block it from the network. Click cancel. "Status: Disconnected" should appear in your wallet.

If you change your mind later, go into your firewall (default in Windows 10 is the Windows Defender Firewall) and remove all rai_node/nano_wallet/nano_node applications. It will ask you once again when running the application.

Configure

  1. Close the wallet and wait 30 seconds. Kill nano_wallet.exe in Task Manager if it's still there.
  2. Hit Start->Run (or Win+R) and write: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Nano , hit enter. It should open your file explorer.
  3. Delete all files inside except config.json
  4. Open Task Manager, and go into the Performance tab. There should be a GPU 0 device there, and maybe a GPU 1 if you have an integrated GPU as 0. Note here the number for the GPU you want to use.
  5. Change the following in config.json (note GPU_ID_FROM_TASK_MANAGER that you should change for 0 or 1, according to your case, i think):
  "rpc": {
    "address": "::ffff:0.0.0.0",
        "port": "7076",
        "enable_control": "true",
        "frontier_request_limit": "16384",
        "chain_request_limit": "16384",
        "max_json_depth": "20"
    },
    "rpc_enable": "true",
    "opencl_enable": "true",
    "opencl": {
        "platform": "GPU_ID_FROM_TASK_MANAGER",
        "device": "0",
        "threads": "1048576"
    }
  }

  "node": {
    "peering_port": "0",

    "preconfigured_peers": [
      "localhost"
    ],

   "bootstrap_connections": "0",
   "bootstrap_connections_max": "0",
  }
  1. Save and close the file.
