Hey all, this is a call to action for anyone to come and setup a VSC devnet node and help work out bugs in the software. In the following days we will activate the witness system and start anchor record production through the witness schedule. For this we need a minimum of 5-11 nodes to operate. Preferably, a minimum of 20 nodes, but for now a lower number of nodes is acceptable.

Requirements:

  • Hive account (50HP, will rise in the future)
  • Technical knowledge of the CLI

System requirements are extremely minimal at the moment. However, in the future they will rise.

System requirements:

  • Raspberry pi 4 or better

Important notes:

You will be required to stay informed on recent news & keep your node up to date when new updates become available. It is also strongly recommended to backup the config file created when your node first starts up. (Located in ./data/vsc-node/config)

Disclaimer:
This is beta software, the devnet is only be used for the purpose of aiding the development process. Do not expect this to be useful to anyone (atleast not yet)

The setup:

1 ) git clone https://github.com/vsc-eco/vsc-node
2 ) cd vsc-node
3 ) < Fill in .env file here >

You'll need to create a .env file with the following values from the .env.example file.

# Fill these in with your hive account details
HIVE_ACCOUNT=Put in your hive account
HIVE_ACCOUNT_POSTING=Put in your hive posting key
HIVE_ACCOUNT_ACTIVE=Put in your hive active key


# Leave untouched unless instructed otherwise.
MULTISIG_ACCOUNT=vsc.beta
MULTISIG_ANTI_HACK=did:key:z6Mkj5mKz5EBnqqsyV2qBohYFuvTXpCuxzNMGSpa1FJRstze
MULTISIG_ANTI_HACK_KEY=

4 ) docker-compose up -d

You should be off to the races at this point! We can verify that your node is operating correctly on our discord server.

Slight apology

We have delayed putting off more information about what VSC is and why it exists (not intentionally). So to some this might come as a shock that a testnet exists well before many public details are available. Nonetheless we will be putting out a larger blog post soon explaining VSC in much more detail. Stay tuned!

I can spin up a node. Should be interesting.

You mentioned to have been able to run it on a PI? Pi4 Unbuntu?

Yes. I'm running two of my nodes on a Raspberry pi 4.

Para esta fecha, cuantos nodos lograron activar?

By this date, how many nodes did you manage to activate?

11+ nodes currently running and participating in consensus.

Thank you, I will look for ways to participate and help.
