OIP Daemon

OIP Daemon

To use Open Index Protocol in a decentralized/trustless way, users must run three daemons:

• florincoind
• IPFS daemon
• OIP Daemon
• Users may wish to also run the Bitcoin wallet daemon, bitcoind

RPC Access to Florincoind

• The first step is to set up your florincoin.conf file. If it doesn't exist, create it.
  • For Windows users, it should go here: %App Data%/Romaing/Florincoin/florincoin.conf
  • For Mac users, it should go here: ~/Library/Application Support/Florincoin/florincoin.conf
  • For *nix users, it should go here: ~/.florincoin/florincoin.conf

Make sure you've allowed RPC access from localhost, and that you're running in server mode with txindex enabled:

rpcuser=flo rpc username
rpcpassword=flo rpc password
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=192.168.0.0/16
rpcport=18322
server=1
daemon=1
txindex=1

You'll probably also want to include the following network nodes:

addnode=176.9.59.110
addnode=188.166.6.99
addnode=54.209.141.153
addnode=192.241.171.45
addnode=146.185.148.114
addnode=54.164.167.95
addnode=198.27.69.59
addnode=37.187.27.4
addnode=192.34.62.214

Install OIP Daemon

OIP Daemon is currently in a private repo, awaiting a full security audit before opening it up publicly. You can download precompiled binaries for Mac, Windows and Linux below, and if you would like to compile it yourself, just get in touch with the Alexandria team via https://chat.alexandria.io/ and make a request.

Also, note that the application was originally named LibraryD before Open Index Protocol was named, and we have yet to change it's name to OIP Daemon.

Start Florincoin Client

You can use the Florincoin-QT or florincoind clients, but the daemon is suggested as it consumes much fewer resources.

Let the blockchain fully sync, and then start up OIP Daemon.

*Note: you can download a bootstrap of the FLO blockchain here:

Start OIP Daemon

In Terminal, enter the following commands:

export F_URI=127.0.0.1:7313

Note: if you don't do this, the default will be 127.0.0.1:18322, which is Bitcoin's default RPC communication URI.

export F_USER=flo rpc username
export F_TOKEN=flo rpc password

./libraryd

You should see something like this:
