What you can expect this week

We will test fixes for:

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.
