Setup New Testnet

[proletesseract]

Setup a new NavCoin Testnet for Stress Testing.

Ensure we have wide range of different nodes running on the new testnet. Nodes should differ on;

• Geographic Location
• Hardware Specifications
• Operating System
• Self Compiled vs Gitian Built

Post your node details in the comments below to get added to the list and an address to receive some testnet coins.

Latest Builds

The latest Gitian builds can be found on the Nav Community or NavCore servers.

Or you can build your own binaries locally using the instructions in the repo.

Config Settings

Recommended settings for navcoin.conf

rpcuser=<username>
rpcpassword=<password>
server=1
testnet=1
debug=1
staking=1
addnode=95.216.214.68
addnode=78.47.190.215
addnode=157.230.157.163

Replacing <username> and <password> with your own RPC username and password if you want to run the RPC server.

Agreed, can you or @aguycalled create the initial node? And share the ip?

Had to manually install libunbound before being able to run ./configure --disable-hardening:

sudo apt install libexpat-dev byacc
git clone https://github.com/NLnetLabs/unbound
git checkout d05d6b959a5a2a1c161951e029d4d933e2cb3e85
./configure
make
make install

I need some detailed instructions to set up test net pls.

[proletesseract]

I need some detailed instructions to set up test net pls.

@roast-nav all you really need to do is run navcoin with this config and it will launch on the testnet and connect to our nodes

rpcuser=<username>
rpcpassword=<password>
server=1
testnet=1
debug=1
staking=1
addnode=95.216.214.68
addnode=78.47.190.215
addnode=157.230.157.163

just replace <username> and <password> with your own RPC username and password if you want to run the RPC server.

At this stage you'll need to either compile your own daemon from the latest master, or you can wait until our Gitian builds finish running and I will post up the latest binaries.

[roast-nav]

Thanks @proletesseract . I'll wait for the Gitians to finish and use your binaries.

once we have a good list of nodes, we should perhaps commit a testnet readme including this list into the repo
