General Discussion / Re: [Testnet-StressTest] March 14th - 3:00pm UTC Setup Workshop
« on: March 13, 2017, 12:41:20 am »
Thanks for organizing the pre-party on Tuesday Chris4210. I'll drop in from time-to-time, but cannot commit to both days full time.
Thom, let me attempt to answer most of your question to the best of my knowledge. Others, please correct my ignorance. The test Wednesday is to achieve the maximum sustained transactions per second across a distributed and decentralized network of at least 11 witness nodes. Many times that number of transaction generating nodes (cli_wallet) will be required to flood the network with operations from around the globe. This is where we need the most help.
The $200 Azure credit does come with the requirement of a credit card number and a non-VOIP phone number. Some level of identity to mitigate against continually using their offering without payment. Upgrade to Pay-as-you-go to get additional cores for your subscription. Cancel at any time before your credit is exhausted and/or 30 days = 'free'.
Anyone can use this build script on any Ubuntu 16.04 LTS server (AWS, Digital Ocean, etc.). Nothing is Azure specific herein:
You will not need to import any balance for this testnet. Any BTS you hold are not applicable to this chain, as the genesis did not include any of those balances. Xeroc will transfer you a sufficient amount of TEST tokens for the test. Just send him a note when your account is registered. You may also ping me or GChicken for a started lot. That should cover the time zones.
As I have not yet hooked up a faucet to my Azure script, you should register a new account through the web wallet Xeroc setup for the testnet:
You will need to export the keys from that web wallet to import to your cli_wallet. The import can be found in step 12 of the README file:
Sorry, I cannot answer the questions about Vagrant nor Docker.
Look forward to having you help crush this network!
