Harbid

Harbid is the reference full node Harbi implementation written in Go (golang).

What is Harbi

Harbi is a fork of Kaspa with an ASIC resistance implementation Kaspa is an attempt at a proof-of-work cryptocurrency with instant confirmations and sub-second block times. It is based on the PHANTOM protocol, a generalization of Nakamoto consensus.

Requirements

Go 1.18 or later.

Installation

Build from Source

• Install Go according to the installation instructions here: http://golang.org/doc/install

• Ensure Go was installed properly and is a supported version:

$ go version

• Run the following commands to obtain and install harbid including all dependencies:

$ git clone https://github.com/harbi-network/harbid.git
$ cd harbid
$ go install . ./cmd/...

• Harbid (and utilities) should now be installed in $(go env GOPATH)/bin. If you did not already add the bin directory to your system path during Go installation, you are encouraged to do so now.

• Open your shell configuration file. For example, for Bash, you can use the following command:

$ nano ~/.bashrc

• Add the following line to the end of the file:

 export PATH=$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin

Getting Started

Harbid has several configuration options available to tweak how it runs, but all of the basic operations work with zero configuration.

Creating a wallet

• To create a wallet, you need to run harbid with utxoindex

$ harbid --utxoindex

• Open another terminal

$ harbiwallet create

• You will be asked to choose a password for the wallet (a password must be at least 8 characters long, and it won't be shown on the screen you as you entering it). After that you should run this command in order to start the wallet daemon:

$ harbiwallet start-daemon

• Do not close the first 2 terminals and open a new terminal and then run this in order to request an address from the wallet:

$ harbiwallet new-address

• Your screen will show you something like this:

The wallet address is: harbi:qrvwazapajffhp5mmc65uwh8d887yckdhheu3hayqrzhf5mt3h7cxad0zuyzh

• To see your secret seed phrase :

$ harbiwallet dump-unencrypted-data

Note: Every time you ask harbiwallet for an address you will get a different address. This is perfectly fine. Every secret key is associated with many different public addresses and there is no reason not to use a fresh one for each transaction.

At this point your can close the wallet daemon, though you should keep it running of you want to be able to check your balance and make transactions

harbid is a full-node harbi implementation written in Go.

The default options are sane for most users. This means harbid will work 'out of the box' for most users. However, there are also a wide variety of flags that can be used to control it.

Usage:

harbid [OPTIONS]

For an up-to-date help message:

harbid --help

The long form of all option flags (except -C) can be specified in a configuration file that is automatically parsed when harbid starts up. By default, the configuration file is located at ~/.harbid/harbid.conf on POSIX-style operating systems and %LOCALAPPDATA%\harbid\harbid.conf on Windows. The -C (--configfile) flag can be used to override this location.
