Title: How to get involved in the Test chain?
Post by: Simulacra_and_Simulation on April 26, 2014, 06:08:42 pm
Can anyone detail how to get started? Maybe specifically for Windows? Browsed github, not sure what to download. Any help would be nice. :'(

Currently, there isn't any public test chain. Maybe you can download it from jekins.bitshares.org (http://jekins.bitshares.org) and test locally according to this:

make sure that the imported private key is related to the adress in genesis address, not the trustee private key.

Make sure you put quotes around the key...

it will fail because of missing the second argument if only add quotes around the key exactly follow the guide. the guide should be updated.

The WEB GUI is under rapid development.
