A few days ago, I've setup a dogecoin node on my dedicated server. Thanks to @onlydoge who motivated me to do so. 

### It's so easy 
You can do it in 5 minutes. You can do it on your desktop computer too, and have a windowed interface with dogecoin-qt.

#### Download and install the software
These commands are a for a Linux terminal.
```
# wget https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin/releases/download/v1.14.6/dogecoin-1.14.6-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz
# tar -xvf dogecoin-1.14.6-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz 
# cd dogecoin-1.14.6/bin/
# install -m 0755 -o root -g root -t /usr/local/bin *
```

#### Start the node
```
# dogecoind -daemon
```

## That's all !

You have now a wallet located in *~/.dogecoin/wallet.dat*.

#### Get balance
```
# dogecoin-cli listaccounts
{
  "": 0.00000000
}
```

#### Get the dogecoin address
Don't hesitate to tip me !
```
# dogecoin-cli getaccountaddress ""
D6P8uDo7wPRXtNCGuUVnSH8sa5r6EKuhZg
```

#### Get the associated private key
The following key is evidently not the right one.
```
# dogecoin-cli dumpprivkey D6P8uDo7wPRXtNCGuUVnSH8sa5r6EKuhZg
D6P8uDo7wPRXtNCGuUVnS8uDo7wPRXtNCGuUVnSH8sa5r6EKuhZg
```

You now have to wait many hours before the blockchain to be synchronized.  You can check it with a blockchain explorer https://blockchair.com/dogecoin/

```
# dogecoin-cli getblockcount
4487748
```

```
# dogecoin-cli getconnectioncount
26
```

Once synchronized, the blockchain takes about 60GB.
```
# du -sh ~/.dogecoin/*
4.0K	/root/.dogecoin/backups
4.0K	/root/.dogecoin/banlist.dat
57G	/root/.dogecoin/blocks
853M	/root/.dogecoin/chainstate
800K	/root/.dogecoin/database

```

A Hive witness is unfortunately too heavy for my hardware. Maybe I'll do it later.
