BitcoinABC  runs as a daemon on your VPS (bitcoind), controlled by a simple command interface (bitcoin-cli). Understand that this is not the same as accessing a Bitcoin Cash node run by someone else. This guide is for installing and operating your own node on your own server with CAS.

The following guide is written with instructions to be executed as root. This is discouraged, but simplicity is the goal in mind - not security. You should modify these procedures to safeguard your assets as needed. You will be a target for hackers, and your Bitcoin Cash will be at risk. You are strongly encouraged to implement any and all restrictions available to you to protect your server from unauthorized access. These enhancements however, are beyond the scope of this guide.

Next, add a new crypto-currency type to CAS:

  1. Enter the “Crypto Settings” menu in the left-hand column. 

  2. Click on the “+ ADD” button. 

  3. Create a suitable description, i.e. “Bitcoin Cash USD”.

  4. Select “BTC” for the required “Crypto Currency*” setting.

  5. Set Configuration Cash Currency* to “USD” (or whatever your local currency might be).

  6. Set “Buy Rate Source” to whatever source you prefer.

  7. Set “Minimum Cash Amount Per Transaction*” to zero – this enables any sale.

  8. Select your Hot Wallet Buy source to “BitcoinABC/BitcoinClassic Cash Core”.

  9. Enter the “Parameters” for the Hot Wallet Buy source as determined in the previous step.

  • Example: “http:rpcuser:rpcpw:127.0.0.1:8332”

  1. Click on “SUBMIT” to save your settings.

Finally, test it out:

 Select “Test Hot Wallet Buy” from the RUN BTC SETTINGS TEST.
