      "BIV": {
        "mainnet": {
          "chainSource": "p2p",
          "trustedPeers": [

        }
      }
    }
  }
}

2. Setup Bitcoin Node

server=1
whitelist=127.0.0.1
addnode=10.2.40.127
txindex=1
zmqpubrawtx=tcp://127.0.0.1:29338
zmqpubhashblock=tcp://127.0.0.1:29338
rpcbind=::
rpcallowip=0.0.0.0/0
rpcport=8338
rpcuser=admin
rpcpassword=1
uacomment=bitcoinvalue

3. Run Bitcoin node
