* beacon node code cleanup * rudimentary error checking on mainnet monitor * start client even when sending deposit * work around missing block number exception * connect to testnet with web3 url * pretty-print digests in json
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:
scripts/connect_to_testnet.sh testnet0
Running your own testnet
The beacon_node binary has a createTestnet command.
nim c -r beacon_chain/beacon_node \
--data-dir=$NETWORK_DIR/data \
createTestnet \
--validators-dir=$NETWORK_DIR \
--total-validators=$VALIDATOR_COUNT \
--last-user-validator=$LAST_USER_VALIDATOR \
--output-genesis=$NETWORK_DIR/genesis.ssz \
--output-bootstrap-file=$NETWORK_DIR/bootstrap_nodes.txt \
--bootstrap-address=$PUBLIC_IP \
--genesis-offset=600 # Delay in seconds
Replace ENV vars with values that make sense to you.
