node soqucoin
Help secure the world's first post-quantum blockchain. Running a full node validates transactions, relays blocks, and strengthens the network. No mining hardware required.

If you encounter dyld library errors, set the dynamic library path:
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="$(pwd)/src/secp256k1/.libs:${DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH}"After installation, create or edit your configuration file:
mkdir -p ~/.soqucoin
nano ~/.soqucoin/soqucoin.conf# Accept incoming connections
server=1
listen=1
# Network
port=44556
# Seed nodes for initial peer discovery
# (automatic via DNS seeders)These settings enable the SOQ Solo Miner:
server=1
listen=1
rpcuser=soqucoin
rpcpassword=YOUR_STRONG_PASSWORD_HERE
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=44555
rpcworkqueue=128
rpcthreads=8
# ZMQ (required for solo miner)

|---|---|---|
| Full Node | Validates all transactions and blocks. The backbone of the network. | Recommended (port 44556) |
| Pruned Node | Full validation with reduced storage. Keeps only recent blocks. | Optional |
| Seed Node | Public entry point for new nodes joining the network. | Required |
To accept inbound connections and help the network, forward port 44556 on your router to your node's local IP.
For local development and testing, use regtest mode:
soqucoind -regtest -daemonRegtest lets you generate blocks instantly for testing:
soqucoin-cli -regtest generatetoaddress 10 $(soqucoin-cli -regtest getnewaddress)# How many peers am I connected to?
soqucoin-cli getconnectioncount
# What block am I on?
soqucoin-cli getblockcount
# Network hashrate
soqucoin-cli getnetworkhashps
# Generate a new receiving address
soqucoin-cli getnewaddress
# Check wallet balance
soqucoin-cli getbalance
# Node uptime
soqucoin-cli uptime| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Node not syncing | Check internet connection; verify port 44556 is not blocked by firewall |
| No peers found | Ensure listen=1 in config; try restarting the node |
| RPC connection refused | Verify server=1 and correct rpcuser/rpcpassword in config |
| Disk full | Enable pruning: add prune=550 to config (keeps ~550 MB) |
| macOS dyld error | See the build-from-source section above for DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH fix |
- 🔒 Verify your own transactions. Don't trust, verify.
- 🌍 Strengthen the network. More nodes = more decentralized = more secure.
- ⚡ Faster transaction validation. Direct access, no third-party relay.
- ⛏️ Enable solo mining. Run the SOQ Solo Miner and mine blocks directly to your wallet.
