This is the genesis.json file that you receive when you clone the repo:
The above file produces the "wrong" blockchain id.

Whereas this is the genesis.json file that you receive when you download a zipped version of the repo:
The above file produces the "correct" blockchain id.

Differences are the carriage returns (CR) aka "\r" or 0D in hex.
The first one is in windows text file format, which has both "\r"s and "\n"s, or 0D 0A in hex.
The second one is in linux text file format, which has only "\n"s, or 0A in hex.

So the difference may come from:
* editor settings
* git repo settings
* git client settings
* zip tool settings

Thoughts?

wow .. that is weird

(a) When I clear the witness folders (i.e. witness_node_data_dir & object_database) and run:

Code: [Select]

witness_node --genesis-json zip-genesis.json(where the zip-genesis.json file originates from the github zip)
everything is fine, I get the correct blockchain id.

I though that the genesis.json is automatically added to the
witness_node but it seems the compile process should be differently.
This is my observation from a fresh checkout:

Code: [Select]

git clone github:BitSharesEurope/graphene-testnet
cd graphene-testnet
git submodule update --init --recursive
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .
make
programs/witness_node/witness_node
# Turned out with the wrong chain id

programs/witness_node/witness_node --genesis-json genesis.json
# turned out out with correct chain id and connected


I might have discovered something interesting.
Look at the binary representations of these two files:

This is the genesis.json file that you receive when you clone the repo:

The above file produces the "wrong" blockchain id.

Whereas this is the genesis.json file that you receive when you download a zipped version of the repo:

The above file produces the "correct" blockchain id.

What is the reason all newly created accounts on the testnet have committee-account as their proxy?
Is it a bug?

It's a whatever "feature". I don't know why it's designed like this though.

I've added it as a potential issue on github:
https://github.com/cryptonomex/graphene/issues/543

I've checked it several times, so there is very little chance that I've made a mistake.
It's very strange, as there is no apparent difference between the content of those files.
But this might be some Windows-related issue.

I had these kind of issues as well .. do you have a CLEAN repository? Cmake creates some temporary files that WILL screw things up.

make clean
find . -name "CMakeCache.txt" | xargs rm -f
find . -name "CMakeFiles" | xargs rm -Rf
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .

I'll try with "make clean".
But the symptoms I have, do not indicate that Cmake is the culprit:

(a) When I clear the witness folders (i.e. witness_node_data_dir & object_database) and run:

Code: [Select]

witness_node --genesis-json zip-genesis.json(where the zip-genesis.json file originates from the github zip)
everything is fine, I get the correct blockchain id.

(b) When I clear the witness folders (i.e. witness_node_data_dir & object_database) and run the same witness:

Code: [Select]

witness_node --genesis-json git-genesis.json(where the git-genesis.json file originates from cloning the github repo)
I get a different blockchain id.

So I use the same compilation of witness node, just "different" genesis.json files (though their content is the same) and, as a result, the blockchain ids are different.
There must be some difference between those files but I'm not able to determine this difference.

It certainly was not on purpose ..
No idea what the reason for this is .. and since this is a clone of the official repository, I assume it's the same behavior on the real network

I've been trying to build graphene from source on ubuntu 15.10 and am stuck at this point of the documentation:

To actually run cmake we now need the following parameters:

Code: [Select]

cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="$QT_ROOT" -DCMAKE_MODULE_PATH="$QT_ROOT/lib/cmake/Qt5Core" -DQT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE="$QT_ROOT/bin/qmake" -DBUILD_QT_GUI=TRUE \
      -DGRAPHENE_EGENESIS_JSON="$GENESIS_JSON" -DBOOST_ROOT="$BOOST_ROOT" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug .


It says "CMake Error: The source directory "/home/***/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.5.0" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt." Is it correct to try this line in the /home/***/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.5.0 directory?

Anybody knows what the problem is?

Edit: Ahh, I see, it's probably configuration of cmake for building graphene.. so it should be executed in graphene folder.. right?

The QT part has been abandoned.
Use this tutorial instead:

... and it gets stuck at this point.

The chain ID is clearly different than it should be:
I have:

Code: [Select]

1f3e7fde05994c55443606e2c4186f6e7943d2333c6db139c42031eff1d19a38instead of this which I got :

Code: [Select]

39f5e2ede1f8bc1a3a54a7914414e3779e33193f1f5693510e73cb7a87617447which I believe is the testnet's blockchain id.

I did not modify the genesis.json file or add any seed nodes. Should I?

----------------------------------------------

EDIT: After further investigation, I've come to the conclusion that this problem stems from the genesis.json file:
When I download the repository from graphene-testnet as a zip file and use the genesis.json file extracted from the zip, everything works fine and I get the correct blockchain id (i.e. compatible with the testnet).
However when I clone the repository from graphene-testnet and use the genesis.json file from the cloned copy, I get some strange blockchain id (i.e. incompatible with the testnet).

I've checked it several times, so there is very little chance that I've made a mistake.
It's very strange, as there is no apparent difference between the content of those files.

I have not relaunched the testnet ..
I just figured out what needs to be done to have the default repository be able to connect to the testnet ..

The issues I had have been that anytime I tried to connect my witnesses to the seed node, the chain id was wrong ... and the reason was that I didn't include the genesis file properly ..
that is all now done and documented in the tutorial

give it a try.. if you recompile the latest master cleanly .. you should autoconnect to the seed node and the testnetwork

[jakub]

I just figured this out, fixed the documentation and have the genesis.json added to the repo. Everyone compiling from
https://github.com/BitSharesEurope/graphene-testnet
should be able to connect to the seed node. I will add the default seed node stuff today

Does it mean you've managed to re-launch the testnet without changing its id?
