First and foremost, install bitcoin-core. I recommend compiling it yourself but there are binaries available for download. You'll want to perform all the steps in this tutorial - follow all steps for the daemon . Do not do the graphical user interface steps. https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node#ubuntu-1610 Run the daemon and use bitcoin-cli to familiarize yourself with the Bitcoin RPC API. https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node#other-linux-distributions Start the daemon, such that it creates the right folders. bitcoind -daemon Stop it after a few seconds. bitcoin-cli stop You should see a new folder .bitcoind in your HOME directory. (Or AppData if you're on Windows). You'll need to add this file into it as 'bitcoin.conf': rpcuser=YOURUSERNAME rpcpassword=YOURPASSWORD Replace YOURUSERNAME with a username of your choice, same for the password. Remember these as you'll need it for configuring your NodeJS app. bitcoind -daemon Get the balance: bitcoin-cli -rpcuser=YOURUSERNAME -rpcpassword=YOURPASSWORD getbalance Pick a nice Bitcoin Core JSON-RPC Node module, like this one: https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-bitcoin-rpc ^Also has the get balance example. They use the same commands that you enter in the bitcoin-cli.

I m using bitcore for stand alone rpc because it has many new indexes and new methods. See this link https://bitcore.io/guides/bitcoin

Yet another way to proceed is to make your own client. Here is mine on PHP. Even if you do not know PHP, you can see how easy is to create one from scratch: JSONRPC: https://github.com/nmmmnu/BlockchainWalker/blob/master/jsonrpc.php Selected Bitcoind commands I need: https://github.com/nmmmnu/BlockchainWalker/blob/master/bitcoindrpc.php update: In case you do own client, make sure you handle first transaction " 4a5e1e4baab89f3a32518a88c31bc87f618f76673e2cc77ab2127b7afdeda33b " in special code, because bitcoind can not handle it.
