Sugarchain Core

Setup

Sugarchain Core is the original Sugarchain client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Sugarchain 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 Sugarchain Core, visit bitcoincore.org.

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

• bin/sugarchaind (headless)

Windows
