_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 \
Allow running local nodes without attached validators The number of user nodes is now specified with `USER_NODES`. To make the instructions more stable, the "numeric id" of the user nodes will be starting from 0 (so you can always use `run_node.sh 0` to start a user node). If you specify a node index above the total number of nodes, you'll launch a node without any validators attached (this is useful for testing the sync for example).

Removed all code related to the old network metadata files Also switched to a more "standard" naming convention for the command-line parameters.

Use SSZ genesis files Multi-client testing requires more portable formats, and SSZ is much better specified than our flavour of Json. Tools like ncli and zcli can be now used to inspect the contents of the SSZ files.
