into the network

One can also use the `eth-data-exporter` tool to download history data from
local geth instance into the format which is suitable for propagating data into
fluffy client e.g:
```bash
make fluffy-tools
./build/eth_data_exporter --initial-block:1 --end-block: 10 --data-dir:"/userDirectory/"
```
Will download blocks from 1 to 10 into user provided director in one json file.

Find more details on the usage and workings of the local testnet script
[here](./docs/local_testnet.md).
### Seeding history (=block) data into the Portal network
1. Set-up access to an Ethereum JSON-RPC endpoint (e.g. local geth instance)
that can serve the data.
2. Use the `eth-data-exporter` tool to download history data through the
JSON-RPC endpoint into the format which is suitable for reading data into
Fluffy client and propagating into the network:
```bash
make fluffy-tools
./build/eth_data_exporter --initial-block:1 --end-block:10 --data-dir:"/user_data_dir/"
```
This will store blocks 1 to 10 into a json file located at
`./user_data_dir/eth-history-data.json`.
> Note: Currently only hardcoded address `ws://127.0.0.1:8546` works for the
Ethereum JSON-RPC endpoint.
3. Run Fluffy and trigger the propagation of data with the
`portal_history_propagate` JSON-RPC API call:
```bash
./build/fluffy --network:testnet0 --table-ip-limit:1024 --bucket-ip-limit:24 --log-level:info --rpc
# From another shell
curl -s -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"1","method":"portal_history_propagate","params":["./user_data_dir/eth-history-data.json"]}' http://localhost:8545 | jq
```
### Windows support
