Test Net for MS Windows-based users

[cube]

Thank you all!

The dev team has updated graphene test with a relay.  Here are the updated binaries.

http://graphene.cubeconnex.com/download/gra-relay-test.zip

Follow this thread with the new instruction

https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,18349.0.html

Edit: You will need to open up a new command Window (ie third Window) to run the new nodejs javascript.

Well done @cube

blockchain is small
logs  is very big

then   how to setup GUI wallet on windows? command is not user friendly enough

I have not looked into it yet.  Is it ready for end-user testing?

I think theyre in the process of rewriting lots of it.  Bytemaster stated that they are trying to not test things they already know are going to change.  You can play with it pretty easily, but I am not sure that the testing would bring any utility.

Glad it works for you.    I hope more windows-based users can participate and test out the new graphene.

cool  it works

Some users are asking for a Windows version of the graphene test net. I have uploaded a copy here

http://graphene.cubeconnex.com/download/gra-test2b.zip

You would need to install the Microsoft redistributable from below before running the witness_node and cli_wallet.

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784

Have fun!

============
Edit: Added brief instruction

The following will only work on MS Windows 64bit computers (tested on Windows .

There are two command-line programs that need to be

Installation of Microsft Re-distributables

Download and install vcredist_x64.exe from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784


Download Graphene test programs and testnet genesis file

Download http://graphene.cubeconnex.com/download/gra-test2b.zip

Create a folder called 'c:\graphene'

Extract out the two command-line programs, cli-wallet.exe and witness_node.exe into this folder

Download genesis file with a web browser

Code: [Select]

https://github.com/cryptonomex/graphene/releases/download/test2b/aug-31-testnet-genesis.json


Open a Command-Prompt Window for witness_node.exe. Run it as an observer first.

CD to c:\graphene and run the witness node program - witness_node.exe

Code: [Select]

witness_node.exe --rpc-endpoint "127.0.0.1:8090"  --genesis-json aug-31-testnet-genesis.json -d testnet -s "104.236.51.238:1776" -s "176.221.43.130:33323" -s "45.55.6.216:1776" -s "114.92.254.159:62015" 

Note:
-d parameter is for the directory you want the witness data to be stored
-s is the node you want to connect

Retrieve your wif keys for user and balances as per xeroc's instructions https://github.com/cryptonomex/graphene/wiki/Howto-become-an-active-witness-in-BitShares-2.0

Go to your old bitshares wallet 0.9.x to retrieve your old bts keys. Skip this step if you intend to create a new account in graphene.

Get your owner private key. Copy down.

Code: [Select]

wallet_dump_account_private_key bitcube "owner_key"
Get your balance public keys for your owner key. There is a number of it.  Copy down.

Code: [Select]


>wallet_account_balance_ids  bitcube
    "bitcube",[
      "BTS---------------------------------A",
      "BTS---------------------------------B",
      "BTS---------------------------------C",

    "asset_id": 39,
    "slate_id": 0,
    "type": "withdraw_signature_type",
    "data": {
      "owner": "BTS---------------------------------balanceA",


Get private key for each of the balance keys. Copy down.

Code: [Select]

wallet_dump_private_key BTS---------------------------------balanceA

With the owner private key and its balance private keys, you are ready to import them into the new graphene wallet.

Open a new Command-Prompt Window for cli_wallet.exe

CD to c:\graphene and run the wallet program - cli_wallet.exe

Code: [Select]

cli_wallet.exe -w testwallet  --chain-id d011922587473757011118587f93afcc314fbaea094fc1055574721b27975083
Note:
-w is your directory wallet

Setup witness as per xerocs instructions https://github.com/cryptonomex/graphene/wiki/Howto-become-an-active-witness-in-BitShares-2.0
Remember to copy your keys, witness id.

Set password to your wallet.

Code: [Select]

new >>> set_password <password>
null
locked >>> unlock <password>
null
unlocked >>>

Import old bts keys into your wallet.  You will be importing your owner key and its balance keys.

[Note: You can still participate in the test without this step by creating a new account. ]

Find out your witness id (in this example, '1.6.624') and its public-private key pair.

Code: [Select]

  "witness_account": "1.2.8112",

    "GPH-------------------------------------------------sn",
    "5JN-------------------------------------------------------------------------pp"
  ],[
    "GPH------------------------------------------------------------------AA",
    "5J------------------------------------------------------------"
  ]
]

GPH-------------------------------------------------sn is the public key and 5JN-------------------------------------------------------------------------pp is the private key to the witness.

Tell the world your witness id so that they can vote you in.

[Note: you need to wait for a maintenance period to be voted in.]

Go back to your witness node Command-Prompt Window. Re-run it as a witness now.
 
Exit your witness by ctrl c


Re-run witness_node.exe with additional parameters so that you can start block production (Note: your witness id and public-private key pair will be used here)

Code: [Select]

witness_node.exe --rpc-endpoint "127.0.0.1:8090"  --genesis-json aug-31-test-genesis.json -d testnet -s "104.236.51.238:1776" -s "176.221.43.130:33323" -s "45.55.6.216:1776" -s "114.92.254.159:62015"   --witness-id '"1.6.624"' --private-key '["GPH-------------------------------------------------sn","5JN-------------------------------------------------------------------------pp"]'
Alternatively, you can add the same information (your witness id and public-private key pair) to the config.ini file. By doing this, you do not need to run witness_node.exe with the additional parameters.

Code: [Select]

cd c:\graphene\testnet
notepad config.ini

Add these two lines, save and exit

witness-id = "1.6.624"
private-key= ["GPH-------------------------------------------------sn","5JN-------------------------------------------------------------------------pp"]

cd c:\graphene
witness_node.exe --rpc-endpoint "127.0.0.1:8090"  --genesis-json aug-31-test-genesis.json -d testnet -s "104.236.51.238:1776" -s "176.221.43.130:33323" -s "45.55.6.216:1776" -s "114.92.254.159:62015"


As your witness_node.exe runs, it will produce messages showing the status.
