Testnet Command Line Instructions - hadescoincom/hds-core GitHub Wiki

Welcome to Hds Testnet 1

Node binaries can be downloaded from the Hds website (http://hadescoin.com/downloads) or from Github (https://github.com/hadescoincom/hds-core-builds/tree/master/testnet/release)

You can run the node with command line options, or modify the attached config file. Once you start the node it will create a node.db file in the same folder. This file will store internal state of the node.

Reporting issues

In case you encounter any problems, please report them via еmail to [email protected] or open a github ticket at https://github.com/hadescoincom/hds-core

Attach archive with logs, configuration file and command line parameters to allow effective investigation of the issues.

Running a node

Node parameters can be either passed through command line or written in the hds-node.cfg file.

Example:

./hds-node --peer 138.68.130.189:8101 --wallet_seed 111 --mining_threads 1 --file_log_level debug

The --peer parameter specifies a comma separated list of peers that the node will initially connect to. After the connection is established, the node will get an updated list of peers from the nodes, along with peer ratings and from that moment it will manage the connections on its own.

--wallet_seed - is a secret key for the wallet that will connect to this node to collect mining rewards (if the node is mining)

--mining_treads - specifies the number of CPU cores utilized for mining. If set to 0, node acts as validating node only.

--file_log_level - allows you to see that is going on behind the scenes.

Upon first launch, the node will download current blockchain history in batch mode as one large macroblock. After the initial sync is complete, the node will continue to sync blocks and individual transactions from the current blockchain Tip and onwards. This can be seen in the log entry:

My Tip: 24704-f2ab414ba6430d85

Here is the full list of options supported by the node

General options: -h [ --help ] list of all options -p [ --port ] arg (=10000) port to start the server on --wallet_seed arg secret key generation seed --log_level arg log level [info|debug|verbose] --file_log_level arg file log level [info|debug|verbose] -v [ --version ] return project version --git_commit_hash return commit hash

Node options: --storage arg (=node.db) node storage path --history_dir arg (=./) directory for compressed history --temp_dir arg (=/tmp/) temp directory for compressed history, must be on the same volume --mining_threads arg (=0) number of mining threads(there is no mining if 0) --verification_threads arg (=-1) number of threads for cryptographic verifications (0 = single thread, -1 = auto) --miner_id arg (=0) seed for miner nonce generation --peer arg nodes to connect to --import arg (=0) Specify the blockchain height to import. The compressed history is assumed to be downloaded the the specified directory

Rules configuration: --CoinbaseEmission arg (=80000000) coinbase emission in a single block --MaturityCoinbase arg (=60) num of blocks before coinbase UTXO can be spent --MaturityStd arg (=0) num of blocks before non-coinbase UTXO can be spent --MaxBodySize arg (=1048576) Max block body size [bytes] --DesiredRate_s arg (=60) Desired rate of generated blocks [seconds] --DifficultyReviewCycle arg (=1440) num of blocks after which the mining difficulty can be adjusted --MaxDifficultyChange arg (=2) Max difficulty change after each cycle (each step is roughly x2 complexity) --TimestampAheadThreshold_s arg (=7200) Block timestamp tolerance [seconds] --WindowForMedian arg (=25) How many blocks are considered in calculating the timestamp median --AllowPublicUtxos arg (=0) set to allow regular (non-coinbase) UTXO to have non-confidential signature --FakePoW arg (=0) Don't verify PoW. Mining is simulated by the timer. For tests only

Running a command line wallet

After extracting the wallet binary to a folder, first we need to initialize the wallet by running:

./hds-wallet --command init

You will be prompted to provide wallet password and then seed. If you are using a miner node, the seed should be the same as was set in the --wallet_seed flag of the node

Printing wallet information

To get the information about the status of the wallet, run:

./hds-wallet --command info -n 127.0.0.1:10000

Receiving Hdss

To receive hdss we need to start a wallet in a listening mode by running:

./hds-wallet --command listen -n 127.0.0.1:10000;

After entering the password, wallet will print out the line similar to:

WalletID 4a0e54b24d5fdf06891a8eaa57b4b3ac16731e932a64da8ec768083495d624f1 subscribes to BBS channel 9

This show the SBBS address the wallet is listening on. This address can be copied and sent to Sender.

Sending Hdss

./hds-wallet --command=send -n 127.0.0.1:10000 -r 77de6bd3de40bc58ab7e4fb68d5e0596fd1e72f3c4fb3eb3d106082d89264909 -a 11.3 -f 0.2

To send Hdss, use 'send' command with the following parameters: -r -a -f

Full list of wallet options

Wallet options: --pass arg password for the wallet -a [ --amount ] arg amount to send (in Hdss, 1 Hds = 1000000 chattle) -f [ --fee ] arg (=0) fee (in Hdss, 1 Hds = 1000000 chattle) -r [ --receiver_addr ] arg address of receiver -n [ --node_addr ] arg address of node --treasury_path arg (=treasury.mw) Block to create/append treasury to --wallet_path arg (=wallet.db) path to wallet file --bbs_keystore_path arg (=bbs_keys.db) path to file with bbs keys --tx_history print transacrions' history in info command --tr_Count arg (=30) treasury UTXO count --tr_HeightStep arg (=1440) treasury UTXO height lock step --tr_HdssPerUtxo arg (=10) treasury value of each UTXO (in Hdss) --command arg command to execute [send|receive|listen |init|info|treasury]
