t0 Joining Nimbus Testnet0

This document is a very short guide on how to join our testnet. For a full explanation of what's going on behind the scenes, please see the official announcement post.

Joining Nimbus Testnet 0

Here is the full process if you're starting from scratch, without even Nim installed (you still need RocksDB though, so install that first):

# Ensure you have rocksdb installed before running this!
git clone https://github.com/status-im/nimbus
cd nimbus
make update # this might take a few minutes
cd vendor/nim-beacon-chain # All Ethereum 2.0 functionality is in here
make testnet0
./build/testnet0_node # this launches the testnet0-specific node you just built

Congratulations, you should now be joining us - your node will start syncing with the current state of our beacon chain. Once you're in sync, you should also start proposing your own blocks and providing attestations - exciting! You are now among Ethereum 2.0 Nimbus pioneers!
