Each week we invite community members to help test RNode.
We will test validator bonding and validation.
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.
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.
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.

Pick out a an unclaimed row with a validator key pair
Specify your node if you want. You can wipe your information after testing
Please use this bootstrap address

Instructions for validator bonding are in the User guide for running RNode.
You best support the improvement and development of the RChain platform when you file a bug to report challenge you faced or unsuccessful outcomes. This will help us collect all relevant information to better understand your setup and experience.
Today's goal was to bond new validators to an existing network. We were successful creating a network and adding peers. We were successful completing the protocol for bonding (two deployments and proposals with the bond requests). We were not successful having a bonded node validate. During the testing session we also observed challenges with peering, catching up to the blockchain state, and streaming errors. See tickets above.
