    hidden-rpc v0.1.3

    A disk-space and reliability release. If you're already running an earlier version, just run the
    installer again — it tidies up wasted space, skips the big disk check when your chain is already
    loaded, and never touches your chain data or addresses.

    hidden-rpc turns an ordinary computer — an old laptop is plenty — into a
    censorship-resistant Blurt RPC node, reachable privately over Tor (.onion v3) and
    I2P (.b32.i2p). No public IP, no port-forwarding, no DNS, no registrar, no hosting company.

    What's new in v0.1.3

    • No more false "out of disk space" on re-runs. The installer used to demand ~90 GB free
      every single time. It now recognizes when your blockchain is already loaded and only needs a
      little headroom — so re-running on a working node just proceeds.
    • Automatic cleanup. Once the chain is loaded, the ~27 GB snapshot download is deleted (it's
      no longer needed), and leftover Docker image layers, build cache, apt cache, and old crash dumps
      are cleared. This alone reclaims tens of GB on nodes set up with earlier versions.
    • New --cleanup command. Run ./installer/hidden-rpc-setup.sh --cleanup anytime to reclaim
      space on demand. It reports before/after free space and never touches your chain or addresses.

    Carried over from v0.1.2: I2P now installs from the official PurpleI2P source (fixing the i2pd
    startup crash on Ubuntu/Mint), auto-restarts on failure, and the .onion/.b32.i2p are read
    reliably from each service's key file.

    One-step setup (or repair)

    From the repository folder:

    ./installer/hidden-rpc-setup.sh

    Everyday commands:

    ./installer/hidden-rpc-setup.sh --watch           # calm, live sync progress
./installer/hidden-rpc-setup.sh --status          # quick summary
./installer/hidden-rpc-setup.sh --show-addresses  # reprint .onion / .b32.i2p
./installer/hidden-rpc-setup.sh --cleanup         # reclaim disk space (safe)

    Requirements

    • 64-bit Linux (Debian / Ubuntu / Mint family), amd64.
    • About 100 GB of free disk space for the first-time setup (less afterward). Docker, Tor, and
      i2pd are installed automatically if missing.

    Important: what this does and does not do

    Tor and I2P hide where you read, not whether what you read is true. Reaching a node does
    not make its data trustworthy — cross-checking answers across independent nodes is the reader's
    job. This release is RPC-only (no witness / block production).
