What you can expect this week
We would like your help using a new log aggregation tool for nodes running on the network. We will use time in this session to help you get started using RChain Doctor. Then we will join a test network and walk through a few scenarios.
Work completed since Nov. 13
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.
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 TBD
Binary packages (.deb, .rpm, and .tgz) https://repo.pyr8.io/rchain/downloads/testing/
Docker image
Docker pull rchain/rnode:testing
Select a validator key or generate one
To select a key set

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
Share your experience
