  • Access otscontainer bash

      docker exec -it otscontainer bash

  • All task is done within container

      bitcoind -datadir=/root/miner -daemon

  • Accumulate some coins in admin node

      bitcoin-cli generate 101

  • Start OTS local server on one bash

      ./otsd --btc-regtest --btc-min-confirmations 3 --btc-min-tx-interval 60

  • TimeStamp FILE in another bash

      ots --wait --verbose stamp -c http://localhost:14788 -m 1 FILE
