_Work in progress. Things may and probably will break for the foreseeable future. Do not rely on this for anything._

## Connecting to Testnet
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To connect to a short-lived testnet we may or may not have running at the moment, use the `connect_to_testnet` script like so:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
scripts/connect_to_testnet.sh testnet0
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Running your own testnet
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `beacon_node` binary has a `createTestnet` command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
nim c -r beacon_chain/beacon_node \
|

|
|
|
--data-dir=$DATA_DIR/node-0 \
|

|
|
|
createTestnet \

|
|
|
--validators-dir=$NETWORK_DIR \
|
|
|
|
|
--total-validators=$VALIDATOR_COUNT \
|
|
|
|
|
--last-user-validator=$LAST_USER_VALIDATOR \

--output-genesis=$NETWORK_DIR/genesis.ssz \
|
2019-10-28 23:04:52 +00:00
|
|
|
--output-bootstrap-file=$NETWORK_DIR/bootstrap_nodes.txt \
|
|
|
|
|
--bootstrap-address=$PUBLIC_IP \
|
|
|
|
|
--genesis-offset=600 # Delay in seconds
|
2019-03-26 16:38:30 +00:00
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Replace ENV vars with values that make sense to you.
