Title: Is there a tutorial for making your own graphene publicly connectable?
Post by: abovebeyond on June 27, 2016, 12:45:29 pm

Hi I am wondering if there is a tutorial or documentation to take your private test net to go public?

should I replace these :

"name": "init5",
      "owner_key": "TEST7ESZdEmWAutKcsoykpiG5uFQ1oTiSrzofNdRCZh1QuDzsngkpT",
      "active_key": "TEST7ESZdEmWAutKcsoykpiG5uFQ1oTiSrzofNdRCZh1QuDzsngkpT",
      "is_lifetime_member": true


with my own keys?

These keys should be secp256k1 keys?

base58 addresses?

How to generate with the graphene toolkit a new key pairs? I see the have prepended with GPH from the internals of starting asset, can explain?

The GPH is defined as PREFIX in config.hpp ..
after compilation you can creat them in the cli wallet with suggest_brain_key.. you can also use the bts cli wallet and replace the BTS prefix with ypurs or you use graphenebase.account for that

Awesome, this all works, and one issue I find is who is the initial registrar?

I see you first make an account, then import a key to the account is that right?
But first the account need to be registered with a registrar, can it be something other than faucet? without setting up faucet?

There is actually no continuity to any of the guides provided, is possible to see some tutorial with continuity to fire up an instance of graphene?

Not sure what you mean by continuity, but this *is* a step by step guide:

where are you stuck?

It seems to initiate the genesis file, you need to put public keys, yet to use the cli_wallet to generate public keys with the prefix you choose, you have to have a blockchain running

So isn't this a chicken and the egg problem? How to make keys to put into the genesis?

I see what you say, but its a little unclear not documented how that is accomplished

So, got around to figuring it out.

Modify config.hpp file put your own name for the core coin, and the prefix and then do cmake, make process it generates Genesis with new prefixes.

Then can make keys with cli_wallet, then swap out the defaults with you own keys.

Accidentally my witness_node server shut off, when I go to restart the witness_node I get this error:

item->num > std::max<int64_t>( 0, int64_t(_head->num) - (_max_size) ): attempting to push a block that is too old

Clearly I think it is triyng to push block 1 to already block 50,000 chain. But when it starts it says starting on a chain with 0 blocks... what to do to run it properly?
