            "password": "password"
          }
        },
        "regtest": {
          "chainSource": "p2p",
          "trustedPeers": [
            {

    }
  }
}

2. Setup Widecoin Node

Example Widecoin Mainnet Config

whitelist=127.0.0.1
txindex=0
listen=1
server=1
irc=1
upnp=1

# Make sure port & rpcport matches the
# Widecore.config.json ports for BTC mainnet

# if using Widecoin Core v0.17+ prefix
# [main]

port=20008
rpcport=20009
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1

rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password

3. Run Widecoin node

Example Starting a Widecoin Node

# Path to your Widecoin application and path to the config above
/Applications/Widecoin-Qt.app/Contents/MacOS/Widecoin-Qt -datadir=/Users/username/blockchains/Widecoin-core/networks/mainnet/
