What you can expect this week

We will be testing the network and blockchain with changes made in the comms layer related to RCHAIN-441 - Separate Kademlia & RChain Protocol Done and RCHAIN-398 - Redefine boundary between TransportLayer, NodeDiscovery and RChain protocol Done and recent bug fixes.

We will also try to reproduce RCHAIN-734 - io.netty.handler.codec.http2.Http2Exception$StreamException: Stream closed before write could take place Done and RCHAIN-513 - Missing Casper Instance + Boxed error Done .

Node Operators should expect to attempt a deploy of tut-hello.rho, followed by a block proposal.

Steps for testing

Testers will install and run RNode
Testers will create a network of peers
Several testers will slowly deploy a hello world contract and propose a block
Testers will report on the number of blocks received
We will watch to see if the number of blocks received syncs and becomes common to all peers on the network.
If possible a node will join after some blocks have been proposed, and observe a more efficient mechanism of obtaining historical block data.

Configure your network

See RNode supported network configuration for information on how to configure your network to connect to other nodes.

Installation packages

Please install RNode prior to the start of the testing session. If you have run RNode previously please see RCHAIN-727 - Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Exception: 0: cannot acquire 256 bits from a vector that contains 7 bits Done and RCHAIN-735 - ERROR coop.rchain.node.NodeRuntime - sun.nio.ch.Net.bind0(Native Method) - NodeRunTime error and fail to start after restart Done for support for resolving issues you may experience preventing the successful running of RNode today.
