Instructions for running a Testnet - answers Issue #10

lludlow commented 7 years ago

If you are going to be running testnet and mainnet you should be using 2 config directories since you are running 2 instances of hushd
Might want to mention turning on cpu mining on the testnet node

edit Ohh, and we need to ask that people limit gpu mining since it has such a low diif, cpu miner (even for pool testing is more than enough)

Scottrock commented 7 years ago

I agree on the CPU mining addition, and how to limit to one thread to keep the difficulty low. I can add this as a config / command line pair for simplicity (to keep one config file). Or I can add as two config files (and hence two chain directories) if we switch from hushd -testnet to hushd -datadir=~/.hush-t and then put /.hush-t/hush.conf

However, running two instances of hushd on one config directory is completely acceptable for a 'default' setup where no mining etc change is needed.

If we want to get really fancy - I use two bash scripts in /usr/bin/ to create husht and husht-cli which contain the hushd -datadir=xxx and hush-cli -rpcport=xxx details

I haven't fully tested every command, but this looks awesome and I am :+1: to merging this
