It's not as neat as an xrSizeOnDisk service but it doesn't need any fancy setup (eg: Docker) at the servicenode either.

  1. Copy xxx_blockchaininfo.conf to your datadir/plugins directory.
  2. Rename it for your target coin (eg: btc_blockchaininfo) and customise the fee, help and rpcip,rpcport,rpcuser,rpcpassword parms.
  3. Add an entry to your datadir/xrouter.conf like
    plugins=btc_blockchaininfo
    taking care to specify the same name from step 2 but without the .conf extension
  4. Reload the XRouter config by
    blocknet-cli xrReloadConfigs
  5. Tell the world about it!

They can access it by
blocknet-cli xrService btc_blockchaininfo
or find the size on disk by
blocknet-cli xrService btc_blockchaininfo | grep size_on_disk
