Testnets
You can test your DApp using a local single-node testnet if you want to set one up. In most cases, though, you might not need to set up a testnet yourself. Instead, you can using an existing testnet. Here are the running testnets you can utilize.
This is a testnet for smartBCH with votes from a BCHN testnet, which has a bitcoincashnode client which mines with CPU.The chain ID is 0x2711. You can use the following JSON-RPC nodes:
- 1.http://35.220.203.194:8545
- 2.https://moeing.tech:9545
Test coin faucet can be found at http://13.214.162.63:8080/faucet or http://moeing.tech:8080/faucet
In this testnet, the gas price can be as low as 0.2Gwei.
To join this testnet as a non-validator node, follow the steps below:
Second, clone & build smartbch:
cd ~/smart_bch
git clone -b v0.4.2 --depth 1 https://github.com/smartbch/smartbch
cd smartbch
go build -tags "params_amber cppbtree" github.com/smartbch/smartbch/cmd/smartbchd
Third, prepare the working directory:
cp ~/smart_bch/smartbch/smartbchd ~/build/smartbchd
cd ~
rm -rf .smartbchd
~/build/smartbchd init mynode --chain-id 0x2711
wget https://github.com/smartbch/artifacts/releases/download/v0.0.5/dot.smartbchd.tgz
tar zxvf dot.smartbchd.tgz
cp -rf dot.smartbchd/* .smartbchd/
Last, start smartbchd.
~/build/smartbchd start --mainnet-genesis-height=602983
Then you can join the testnet as a non-validator. If want to become a validator, please follow this guide.
If you want to join the underlying BCH testnet, here is the configuration file for bitcoincashnode:
regtest=1
[regtest]
bind=0.0.0.0
port=8331
rpcbind=0.0.0.0
rpcport=8332
zmqpubhashtx=tcp://0.0.0.0:8333
zmqpubhashblock=tcp://0.0.0.0:8333
rpcuser=test
rpcpassword=test
rpcthreads=4
rpcallowip=0.0.0.0/0
whitelistrelay=0
addnode=47.115.171.70:28331
You can also run your smartBCH testnet node using Docker. First, clone smartBCH and build Docker image for testnet (or pull prebuilt images from DockerHub):
git clone https://github.com/smartbch/smartbch.git
cd smartbch
docker image build -f Dockerfile.optimized \
--build-arg SMARTBCH_BUILD_TAGS='cppbtree,params_amber' \
--build-arg SMARTBCH_VERSION=v0.4.2 \
--build-arg CONFIG_VERSION=v0.0.4 \
--build-arg CHAIN_ID=0x2711 \
-t smartbchd-amber:latest .
Second, prepare smartBCH testnet home directory:
cd somewhere
mkdir smartbchd_home
docker run \
-v path/to/smartbchd_home:/root/.smartbchd \
smartbchd:latest init mynode --chain-id 0x2711
wget https://github.com/smartbch/artifacts/releases/download/v0.0.4/dot.smartbchd.tgz
tar xvf dot.smartbchd.tgz
cp -rfv dot.smartbchd/* smartbchd_home/
Last, start smartbchd using Docker like this:
docker run \
-v path/to/smartbchd_home:/root/.smartbchd \
-p 0.0.0.0:18545:8545 \
-p 0.0.0.0:18546:8546 \
--ulimit nofile=65535:65535 \
-d smartbchd-amber:latest start --mainnet-genesis-height=602983
