Starting and stopping

Production nodes currently start with --network regtest --evm-only. That CLI selector is an implementation detail. The running EVM network still identifies as NVC Mainnet, Chain ID 733100001.

Example shape:

novacoin-node --network regtest node start --evm-only \
  --data-dir /var/lib/nvc \
  --p2p-addr 0.0.0.0:9333 \
  --advertise-p2p YOUR.PUBLIC.IP:9333 \
  --rpc-addr 127.0.0.1:9332 \
  --connect seed1.nvcchain.online:9333 \
  --connect seed2.nvcchain.online:9333 \
  --connect seed3.nvcchain.online:9333

Bind RPC to loopback unless you have a reverse proxy and rate limits in front of it. Do not enable evm_mine on a public RPC.

Stop the process with your service manager (systemctl stop) rather than deleting /var/lib/nvc.
