Initial setup of a Tjugoen node
When receiving a Tjugoen node and start it for the first time, you need to set it up with your password.
The Tjugoen nodes come pre-loaded with the Bitcoin blockchain so you don’t need to download the entire blockchain of over 600GB. With this process you will be up and running in a matter of minutes!
See the instructions and the video below on how to get started:
- Boot the device.
- Let it boot with the default settings, no need to press any buttons.
- On the initial screen choose the “Recover” option.
- Then choose “Use Existing Drive”.
- In the next screen choose the hard drive. It should be only one available.
- Finally, set your password, choose a minimum of 12 characters.
- That’s it! Your new Bitcoin node will be ready after finalizing the setup and once you login to the interface the Bitcoin Core will start automatically to syncing any additional blocks.
