Hi @Kenun99
Thanks for trying our testnet. Because the devchain-ewasm
is very old testnet (maybe two years ago). So we plan to upgrade it with the latest software. That's why it is shutdown.
And we will announce a branch new testnet RPC service in this Month. Once it launches, I will notify you. Thanks for your patience :-)
Hi @Kenun99
Our new ewasm runtime is deployed on ParaState network.
For the faucet: https://testnet.faucet.parastate.io:8001/faucet For the RPC gateway: https://rpc.parastate.io:8545
Please move forward to the new testnet, thanks.
If you have any question about the new testnet, please let me know, thanks.
Hi @hydai Can we please look at the following error when starting devchain?
If we run
docker run -it secondstate/devchain:devchain attach https://rpc.parastate.io:8545
Then the following error is returned
Fatal: Failed to start the JavaScript console: api modules: Method not found
I think the solution is to add the following parameter when starting (restarting) the the RPC process on the rpc.parastate.io server.
--rpcvhosts=rpc.parastate.io
Hi @tpmccallum
I think we should drop the secondstate/devchain
image. This container uses devchain
which is a modified geth client (with CyberMiles modifications). It will have some issues when connecting to the ethereum-compatible chain. Maybe you can try ethereum/client-go
Hi @hydai
Thanks!
I tried using ethererum/client-go
and found that the ParaState RPC endpoint is still restricting clients from running geth attach
against it.
Are we able to restart rpc.parastate whilst adding --rpcvhosts=rpc.parastate.io
and also --rpc --rpcaddr 0.0.0.0 --rpcport 8545
Then I can try this again.
Thank you.
Hi @tpmccallum
I am not sure if our parastate has those options, but I will check it later.
I also want to know what is the different between geth
and web3.js
. Because it has no problem when we use web3.js
to interact with the parastate. However, it has lots of issues such as you mentioned above when we use geth
.
Hi @hydai Awesome, it would be great to see the available options.
Yeah so essentially, as you are aware, Geth is the Official Go implementation of the Ethereum protocol. There are also C++ and Python etc. These implementations get the actual node running/syncing.
We see that Web3 (comes in two flavours; Python and Javascript) and allows clients to talk to the aforementioned node[s] that are already running. For example DApps can query on-chain information and then create and sign transactions on behalf of web users etc.
I think that when we are trying to connect to ParaState via Docker (Linux command line) we are asking to connect a geth JavaScript console in the Linux command line. The "attach" subcommand attaches to the console to an already-running geth instance.
Can you please see if there is a flag called --geth
in relation to starting the ParaState node? If the ParaState node was geth aware/compatible then perhaps this attach request would succeed.
I hope this helps. Thanks Tim
Great. The ParaState node is not from geth
but from frontier
which is the polkadot software stack. So it may need extra settings to make it compatible with geth
. I will check these options.
After I executed
docker run -it secondstate/devchain:devchain attach http://devchain-ewasm.secondstate.io:8545
, it seems that the RCP service athttp://devchain-ewasm.secondstate.io:8545
is offline.
