Workshop Setup

With these instructions you can set up a Codex node on your machine, to use during the Brussels 2024 workshop. If you run into trouble and need help, ask a nearby Codexer!

Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/codex-storage/codex-testnet-starter.git

Local network

Switch to the workshop wifi:

Open a terminal in the scripts folder for your platform:

Keep the generated address at hand. Update the file named eth.key with your private key. You may need to change the permissions for this file. See the README.md in your platform specific folder.

You can acquire tokens in one of two ways: Discord bot or faucet.

Discord bot

Join the Codex discord server: https://discord.gg/codex-storage.
Go to the "bot" channel, in the category "codex-bot".
Use /set command to enter your generated address.
Use /mint command to receive some tokens.

Faucet
