GordianServer for macOS uses Bitcoin-Standup to install Bitcoin Core and Tor on your system. The following description of functions and FAQs can provide additional insight into using the system.
Adding Tor Public Keys. Shortly after installing GordianServer, you will be prompted to add a Tor public key. This will allow you to connect to your GordianServer from an authorized client. The Tor public key can be retrieved from the client that you are using. For example, if you are using GordianWallet, there is an "Export Tor V3 Authentication Public Key" option under its settings page. Your can later add addition public keys using the "Add" button to the right of the screen.
Choosing a Bitcoin Network. You will need to start one or more Bitcoin networks in order to make use of GordianServer. Choose mainnet, testnet, signet, or regtest. (Currently, we suggest extreme caution with mainnet, because GordianServer has just achieved Feature-Complete Status.) Click the button that says "Start" and the network will begin syncing. On GordianServer you can actually connect to up to all four networks if you want, just connect each separately and use the individual hidden services.
Changing Settings. The "Settings" button at the top of the GordianServer screen give you access to Settings. Options allow you to change some bitcoin.conf settings, to shut down GordianServer, and to look at your logs.
Because Bitcoin requires 30G or more of storage, you may wish to move its data to an external drive. This can be done by selecting the Settings button (see above) and changing the Data Directory or the Blockchain Directory.
