Or create your own. Will require that you run your own Bellscoin Node and configure your RPC.

To set up and run the Node.js server, you'll need the following requirements and steps:

Requirements:

1. Node.js:

   • Ensure that Node.js is installed on your server or local machine. You can download and install Node.js from here.

2. npm (Node Package Manager):

   • npm usually comes bundled with Node.js. You can verify its installation by running npm -v in your terminal.

3. Dependencies:

   • Express.js: A minimal and flexible Node.js web application framework.
   • node-fetch: A module that allows you to make HTTP requests in Node.js.

Steps to Install and Run:

1. Create a Directory for Your Project:

   mkdir bellscoin-countdown
   cd bellscoin-countdown

2. Initialize a New Node.js Project:

   • Run the following command and follow the prompts to create a package.json file:

     npm init -y

3. Install Required Dependencies:

   • Install express and node-fetch using npm:

     npm install express node-fetch

4. Create server.js:

   • Inside your project directory, create a file named server.js and paste the code I provided.

5. Run the Server:

   • Start the server by running:

     node server.js

6. Access the Countdown:

   • Open your web browser and go to http://<your-server-ip>:3000/blockcountdown to view the countdown page.

Optional:

• Running as a Background Process:
  • If you want to keep the server running in the background, you can use a tool like pm2:

    npm install -g pm2
    pm2 start server.js

This setup should allow you to run the Node.js server and host your Bellscoin countdown page.
