What you can expect this week

We will run test off the public testnet infrastructure. 

Instructions for testing today

Read documentation for RChain Doctor

Please read the RChain Doctor documentation and install RChain Doctor (v0.3.3). We will use this software and tools to support collecting logs from nodes participating in today's testing session. 

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 0.8.5.gited04639f (ed04639fc081e9755a25b84720ca3dbceef0b7de)
