Testnet Initial Release

[0xjjpa]

As additional thoughts in here, our goal is:

• Enable anyone to run a HOPR-chat node using Docker by running the instructions at the bottom of this comment (pending documentation)
• Using HOPR-chat, send messages using 0 hops to another connected user
• Ensure 0 hop messages require 0 HOPR tokens.
• Showcase proof-of-testnet across all major OS (e.g. Ubuntu, OSX, Windows *)

Env Variables

HOPR_PORT=9091 \
HOST_IPV4=0.0.0.0:$HOPR_PORT \

BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS=$COUNTRY_BOOTSTRAP_NODE \
ETHEREUM_PROVIDER=wss://kovan.infura.io/ws/v3/$INFURA_ID \
PORTS=$HOPR_PORT:$HOPR_PORT

We have deployed 3 bootstrap nodes for our testnet launch.

• ✅ /dns4/ch-test-01.hoprnet.io/tcp/9091/p2p/16Uiu2HAm2n7Lfn76Ex7JnesxXjCtoPbLA6S1Q3boEELETBCD9RKc
• ✅ /dns4/ch-test-02.hoprnet.io/tcp/9091/p2p/16Uiu2HAm9YbgfQ5yAPQ99ZgfCdJKcdn7tZ2xDBwvaaitfvXGgD2d
• ✅ /dns4/ch-test-03.hoprnet.io/tcp/9091/p2p/16Uiu2HAmSDWT1xhYc7CYEunDoVY21aWA5LpXTTqZpxymFB34FFjH

They are the equivalent of these ones.

• ✅ /ip4/34.65.200.251/tcp/9091/p2p/16Uiu2HAm2n7Lfn76Ex7JnesxXjCtoPbLA6S1Q3boEELETBCD9RKc
• ✅ /ip4/34.65.51.50/tcp/9091/p2p/16Uiu2HAm9YbgfQ5yAPQ99ZgfCdJKcdn7tZ2xDBwvaaitfvXGgD2d
• ✅ /ip4/34.65.69.119/tcp/9091/p2p/16Uiu2HAmSDWT1xhYc7CYEunDoVY21aWA5LpXTTqZpxymFB34FFjH

There are more to come here (i.e. status, different countries, etc), but it will be important for us to keep these ones in mind for now as we manage our documentation.

Word of caution: As these bootstrap nodes are still in the works, sometimes they might need to be restarted and HOPR-chat nodes might fail to connect to them.

We have concluded our initial testnet release! Up to date docs, both in nodejs and docker are available in https://docs.hoprnet.io/home/. Closing epic.
