What you can expect this week
We will work with the RNode v0.8.2 release. See RNode-0.8.2 release plan for more details. During this session we will help you get started with v2 of RDoctor and give a refresher on how to use the DAG visualization tool. Then we will launch a network and introduce some changes and play with contract deployment and validation.

Instructions for testing today
Read documentation for RChain Doctor
Please read the RChain Doctor documentation. We will use this software and tools to support collecting logs from nodes participating in today's testing session. This is a v2 version of RDoctor that does not require Docker.
Read the documentation for visualizing the blockchain
One of the challenges of debugging is seeing what's happening when validators propose new blocks. We now have the ability to ask RNode to generate a text file that when pasted to Graphviz can generate an image. Please see 'visualizing the blockchain' in User guide for running RNode.
Install RNode
Note If you used a previous version of RNode, please delete your existing .rnode directory. Most errors experienced using RNode relate to content in the directory from a previous version.
RNode version for this session
Today's version RChain Node 0.8.2 (9430de7e818e46c0c2a535d5c704cab3fca6bae5)
Binary packages (.deb, .rpm, and .tgz) https://build.rchain-dev.tk/release-rnode-v0.8.2/
Docker image
Code Block docker pull rchain/rnode:release-rnode-v0.8.2
Select a validator key or generate one
To select a key set
Go to https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18merD3OzaDk7nmxQ78SUZBzWLbxA-aOnmcdxpXrp_U0/edit#gid=0
Pick out a an unclaimed row with a validator key pair
Specify your node if you want. You can wipe your information after testing
- If you use this key, you will join the network as a validator.
To generate a key set
- RNode supports ed25519 keys
- Generate an ed25519 key set:
- Follow instructions from the Genesis protocol guide
- If you're using Docker and have Python installed, the rchain-keys-generator
Report your public key
We would like everyone to join today's network as a known validator. We need to know your public key to update the bonds file. Please report your public key in this form.
Only deploy these Rholang contracts
We've learned recently there is a bug related to Rholang contracts attempting to use the same channel and creating conflicts when deployed simultaneously. For this testing session we will only use the following, non-conflicting contracts: Simple-test-channel.rho (attached) or Dupe.rho
