| Instructions for trying the light client prototype | |
| - download and compile my light branch: | |
| https://github.com/zsfelfoldi/go-ethereum/tree/light | |
| (better clone the entire branch, it will not work when pulled in current develop) | |
| - run geth in light mode, with a new datadir and peer discovery disabled | |
| ./geth --mode "light" --datadir "~/.light" --nodiscover console | |
| - add my node: (an archive node that supports the LES protocol) | |
| admin.addPeer("enode://2b01f9b612bfb0e0dceb03cd3801a5f957169cc05422459bdac6a0a18a84ed290061a79fdccf8d5a572d47abd1aa6eab2044a795c5db6a45191c5b93bd15bbe2@195.38.100.244:30303") | |
| - wait for a few minutes to download the header chain (sometimes it starts a bit slow but should speed up quickly) | |
| - some examples to try: (our options are limited since transaction sending doesn't work yet through the LES protocol) | |
| eth | |
| eth.getBlock(12345) | |
| eth.getBalance("7456c5b2c5436e3e571008933f1805ccfe34e9ec") // should return about 300 ETH | |
| eth.getBalance("7456c5b2c5436e3e571008933f1805ccfe34e9ed") // non-existent address, should return 0 | |
| eth.getCode("db15058402c241b04a03846f6fb104b1fbeea10b") // a contract code |
