Steps for Synapse Testnet

DEADLINE: Friday, May 10, 2019 at 9 PM PST

This document details the steps required to register validators for the Synapse testnet. Note that the main net will use a different method of registering validators based on deposits from the current Phore chain.

Note that this can be run on your local computer. All this program does is generate a file with public keys for your validator block.

Step 1: Generate a random key

How to start the Phore Synapse blockchain

This guide details how to start the Phore Synapse blockchain and, for participants registered for the beta test, how to start up a validator to proposer/attest/validate blocks.

Step 1: Get an Ubuntu VPS and log in

Follow this guide if you don't know how: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/initial-server-setup-with-ubuntu-18-04

You need to get to this stage:

	package main

	import (
	"context"
	"fmt"
	"image/jpeg"
	"log"
	"path/filepath"

	files "github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs-files"

	fbr() {
	local branches branch
	branches=$(git for-each-ref --sort=-committerdate --sort=-author --format "%(refname:lstrip=-1) - %(authorname)" --color=always refs/heads) &&
	branch=$(echo "$branches" \| fzf +s +m -e) &&
	git checkout $(echo "$branch" \| sed "s: - .*::")
	}
