On your very first connection to each testnet, you'll be asked to become a validator. Please consult our private repo for a Goerli Eth1 private key that you can use for deposits. Other changes: * Added a simple wrapper ./connect-to-testnet script calling the nims file in the correct environment. No extension was used to make the command the same on Unix and Windows. * Bumped a number of modules with fixes from this week * `make testnet0` and `make testnet1` will no longer delete your existing database. This is considered a more appropriate behavior for testing forward sync.
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.
