By default, the node (when started without any arguments as BGLd) will sync to production mainnet, then listen to the localhost RPC without login or password, if you want to expose it somewhere, create a file
~/.BGL/BGL.conf

Operating System	Default BGL datadir	Typical path to configuration file
Windows	%APPDATA%\BGL\	C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\BGL\BGL.conf
Linux	$HOME/.BGL/	/home/username/.BGL/BGL.conf
Mac OSX	$HOME/Library/Application Support/BGL/	/Users/username/Library/Application Support/BGL/BGL.conf

You can also use Bitcoin Core-based config tools, like e.g.:
https://jlopp.github.io/bitcoin-core-config-generator/ (mb a bit complex one)
Just the file name and location is different.

Hi!

Could you please give an example of a node configuration for BGL?

1. This not an 'another fork' of bitcoin, this is an attempt to create new asset with new economical properties. I could use other code base, e.g. Eth one, or from one of the altcoins, so the emphasis is more on economics, not the programming. So I chose to use bitcoin code for this goal.
2. The goal is not technology for the sake of technology, even more, let me put it rather bluntly, other approaches (of consensus, infrastructure, programming languages, etc.) yet to have reach BTC success and adoption.
3. I lean towards PoW consensus, because this mechanics is the only one existing right now that is directly bound with material world through physical principle. In the end, if to extrapolate, PoW stimulates more efficient hardware, and more efficient technological process and faster chips, which moves digital economy forward. We share this evolutionary approach with bitcoin.
4. Miners get coin for spending real material resources that cost traditional money (GPUs, ASICs RnD and making of them, electricity paid in yuan). But to compensate for mining costs they have to sell mined coin. This allows for the distribution and rotation of the coin, helping with fair pricing, material world connection and liquidity.

5. You've asked great first question. I'd like to send you some BGL coins as a bonus for it (if you have BGL address, please send me). There is hackathon going for next 2 days, we should have wallet software updates hopefully, if you don't have BGL address, come back in few days

Just a small hints list that may help in solving the task:
- Get a wallet address for test and private key (every team should be provided one);
- Set up a full node and run it (binary package is OK, use clean Ubuntu VM), let it sync, it does that in 3-5 minutes;
- When running node for the first time it would create ~/.BGL directory, new wallet and addresses (older-fashioned, BTC-Core way derivation);
- Play with RPC:
  - use dumpwallet to save 'your' addresses;
  - send a transaction from provided wallet to 'your' address using a sequence of:
    createrawtransaction/signrawtransaction/sendrawtransaction
    wait for the block to be mined and coins arrive at your wallet
- Check most important changes that were implemented from bitcoin regarding wallet interaction:
  - hashing algo change for blocks/transactions: hash.h, class CHash256 was split into additional CHash256BlockOrTransaction (keccak);
  - signing salt is changed (search for strMessageMagic);
- Pick some open-source BTC compatible wallet that you think is robust enough;
- Make changes;
- Test changes.
This is a pretty bird-eye view, but hopefully can help.

Today 2020 year
not 2017
not 2018
not 2019!!
And humanity has PoS, BFT and oher types of consensus..
Graphene, tendermint.. so many blockchain frameworks
Ethereum change consensus to PoS at 1th December..
Proof of Work is unfriendly to the environment and outdated technology.
And my question is..
Why you make another fork of bitcoin in 2020 year!??
 

Upon request of EmmaWu we support Bitgesell wallet hackathon.

 Just created draft BGL JS library https://github.com/bitaps-com/jsbgl

Tomorrow is the start of a Bitgesell wallet hackathon. I would be supporting and answering questions here, AFAIK there would be some checkpoints specifically for Q&A sessions, nonetheless I would try to constantly be here from early evening CET to answer questions (mostly on the technical side). Please try to elaborate on the topic and everything should be alright. Best of luck to the teams!

Thanks Emma, well received. Buon appetit!

That's perfect!

2100 bgl for this pizza!) Its $23USD right now.
Bon appetit!

Laslo:
So nobody wants a pizza?
I just want to report that I successfully traded "2100 bgl" for pizza.
Thanks sloiz!

Hey guys!

I think it's a good idea to make a pizza event! I want to treat people and pay for their pizza in BGL.

Please order pizza and post:
- a photo of pizza and bill (convert to USD/EUR if other currency);
- your BGL wallet address;

First 5 bills would be covered by me. Bon appetit!

(Idea is coming from this epic history: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/pizza-for-bitcoins-137)

Congratz!

Hey fellow BGL community!

We are glad to announce 'node incentive program'!
This is aimed at growing our network so the infrastructure would be
more decentralized, more reliable and more secure.

The idea of this project is similar to bitnodes project held in
bitcoin some time ago (now it has transformed into analytics though).
Anyone who has node (or who wants to create new one and join the program)
just enter your BGL wallet address in the user agent comment field when
starting BGL Core (see instruction there,
it's very simple: https://bglcontest.bitaps.com/node_setup).

Every week (1008 blocks) 10 nodes would be randomly picked that contain
wallet address in user agent comment and awarded $20 each. For this particular
moment it means that every new node would get this bonus, until network
grows!
Join the BGL, we will announce winners weekly. Good luck!

https://bglcontest.bitaps.com/nodes

at the start of the program the network is 20 nodes.

---

UPD: During the weekend several new nodes are added (with wallet addresses in user-agent) from Germany, Italy, USA!

Network is now 25 nodes.
