When you start the witness, what determines the chainID it runs on?
I don't see any specific cmd line options for a witness to act as a seed node, is that just a matter of not enabling block production and changing the --p2p-endpoint arg it will listen on?
When I do that it provides some (arbitrary, self-generated?) chainID, could each seed node theoretically represent it's own chain that other witness nodes could join to form their own P2P network?
I can easily see why the cli_wallet needs a chainID parameter, just not sure how it is determined for each witness.
Can anyone help clarify this?
Chain ID is just the hash of the Genesis file.
