Steps for testing

NEW Add your IP address in the row of your selected validator key pair. We need this information to analyze the performance testing. Add your IP address here.
Install and run RNode
Connect to the RChain bootstrap node
Participate in performance tests by running your node as the tests run across the network.

Prepare to participate

Prior to the session, please see the User guide for running RNode for information about network configuration, installation options, and basics for running the software.

Please plan to have RNode installed and running at the start of the session.

Installation packages

NOTE If you used a previous version of RNode, please delete your existing .rnode directory. Most errors experienced using RNode v0.6.1 relate to content in the directory from a previous version.

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.
