Title: Public testnet for delegates soon?
Post by: clayop on August 04, 2015, 03:13:42 am

It seems that July 31 testnet ends and devs are preparing public testnet for delegates. Cannot wait to join the testnet :D

If you want you can read a draft version of "how to become a witness in the testnet"
https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares.github.io/blob/master/_drafts/howto-become-a-witness.md
feedback appreciated

Great work xeroc!

But for me, one thing is unclear.
Under "Basic Account Management",

Code: [Select]

unlocked >>> import_key <accountname> <wif>
true
unlocked >>> import_balance <accountname> [5........] true
Does <wif> mean the owner key starting with 5?
And [5......] means private key for each address that contain balance?

I reformulated the text a little to clarfiy the difference between <owner wif key> and <balance wif key>
