We've customized the Signature of Rune-related transactions to use R instead of RUNE_TEST. Transactions start syncing from block 10 for Testnet and genesis block (block 0) for mainnet.
You can try it out here:
- Testnet: https://testnet-scan.runealpha.xyz/
- Mainnet: https://runealpha.xyz/

ord requires a synced bitcoind node with -txindex to build the index of satoshi locations. ord communicates with bitcoind via RPC.
If bitcoind is run locally by the same user, without additional configuration, ord should find it automatically by reading the .cookie file from bitcoind's datadir, and connecting using the default RPC port.
If bitcoind is not on mainnet, is not run by the same user, has a non-default datadir, or a non-default port, you'll need to pass additional flags to ord. See ord --help for details.
Bitcoin Core is available from bitcoincore.org on the download page.
Making inscriptions requires Bitcoin Core 24 or newer.
This guide does not cover installing Bitcoin Core in detail. Once Bitcoin Core is installed, you should be able to run bitcoind -version successfully from the command line. Do NOT use bitcoin-qt.

ord makes RPC calls to bitcoind, which usually requires a username and password.
Using environment variables:
export ORD_BITCOIN_RPC_USER=bicoin
export ORD_BITCOIN_RPC_PASS=nakamoto
Everything almost done, now see the magic, your local ready to sync all Rune transaction:
ord --bitcoin-rpc-user ORD_BITCOIN_RPC_USER --bitcoin-rpc-pass ORD_BITCOIN_RPC_PASS --bitcoin-data-dir /root/.bitcoin-testnet/testnet3 --chain testnet --index-runes-pre-alpha-i-agree-to-get-rekt --data-dir /root/.local/share/ord-rune-testnet server --enable-json-api --http-port 5656
Adding type --index-runes-pre-alpha-i-agree-to-get-rekt so that ord knows to sync all transactions related to runes
