Tutorial 3 feedback #2

Open emschwartz opened 7 years ago

Edit config/server.js, config/client1.js and config/client2.js

This is pretty tedious. Can we automate that?

npm install michielbdejong/ilp-node#62a7979

Maybe mention that's only if you didn't do the 1st tutorial (seems unlikely that you wouldn't do the first one first)

You should see it can do around 0.3 payments per second if one or both of the hops go over the XRP testnet

This seems really slow in comparison. It might make for a better tutorial experience if the speed went up each time.

As you can see, it's necessary to hit Ctrl-C after the test completes; alternatively, you can wait for 20 second. This is due to https://github.com/ripple/ripple-lib/issues/792

Why don't you just call process.exit()?

In the next tutorial, you'll connect to the Amundsen IToT bootstrap node, and learn how to set up an IToT node yourself.

Why not make that the first tutorial? Seems more interesting to dive into doing it live instead of building it up

What just happened?

Going through this I'm pretty confused about whether I'm seeing "real payments" or just made-up stuff. Are these "payments" going over the "real" networks? I think it's more impressive if they are (and if they do it would be great to show the links to the transaction explorers for the respective blockchains).

This feedback was one of the things that lead to development of https://github.com/interledger/tutorials/pulls, thanks!
