This is a small PHP application designed to display status and information from the Bitcoin node daemon.

To run the application, you will need:

• A Bitcoin node!
• A web-server with PHP installed.
• The PHP curl module - this is used to make RPC calls to the Bitcoin daemon.

To get started, all you need to do is copy/rename php/config.sample.php to php/config.php and configure your node's RPC credentials. The application will connect to your node via RPC and report statistics.

The config.php file also contains lots of options to control how the application behaves:

• debug (Boolean, default: FALSE) - Enables debug mode. This prints the full $data array into the page`s HTML output inside a comment.
• rpc_user(String, default: rpcuser) - Username for RPC calls.
• rpc_pass (String, default: rpcpass) - Password for RPC calls.
• rpc_host (String, default: localhost) - Which RPC host to connect to.
• rpc_port (String, default: 8332) - Port to use for the RPC connection.
• rpc_ssl (Boolean, default: FALSE) - Should we use SSL for the RPC connection?
• rpc_ssl_ca (String, default: NULL) - The SSL CA chain file.
• cache_file (String, default: /tmp/bitcoind-status.cache) - File location to write to for cache.
• max_cache_time (Int, default: 300`) - Expiry time for cache.
• nocache_whitelist (Array, default: array('127.0.0.1')) - The IP addresses that are allowed to bypass or clear cache.
• admin_email (String, default: [email protected]) - Email address to display on error
• display_donation_text (Boolean, default: TRUE) - Display text to encourage donations.
• donation_address (String, default: not_set) - Bitcoin address to use for donations to support the node.
• donation_amount (String, default: 0.001) - Donation amount - not currently implemented.
• use_bitcoind_ip (Boolean, default: FALSE) - Use the Bitcoin daemon to get the public IP, instead of $_SERVER
• intro_text (String, default: not_set) - Introductory text to display above the node statistics.
• display_peer_info (Boolean, default: FALSE) - Switch to enable displaying connected peers.
• display_free_disk_space (Boolean, default: FALSE) - Switch to enable displaying free disk space.
• display_ip_location (Boolean, default: FALSE) - Switch to enable displaying your IP location.
• display_testnet (Boolean, default: TRUE) - Switch to enable displaying if the node is running on testnet.
• display_version (Boolean, default: FALSE) - Switch to enable displaying the nodes version.
• use_cache (Boolean, default: TRUE) - Switch to enable the cache feature.

• Do not disable cache unless you either have an alternative mechanism or your node is protected from potential DDoS attacks.
