Refresh

We will also play highCard.rho, a version of the card game in Rholang. Contracts for the game are at https://gist.github.com/dckc/82faeebb5b4d762a3bbecc0617b4e0c5.

Contract from Proof: https://gitlab.proofmediadev.com/open-source/rchain-network/raw/master/src/exchange.rho it use MakeMint implementation from genesis block.

Steps for testing

Testers will install and run RNode
Testers will create a network of peers
Several testers will deploy Rholang contracts 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.
