-### Creating/Using a test node
-
-Syncing the against the public network takes many hours for the initial sync and will download 20+ GB of data.
-Here are some instructions for creating a private test node that does not depend on having a network connection.
-
-1. Run `./scripts/setup` to create a private blockchain with a new account.
-    * This will result in a warning.
-2. Run `./scripts/start_private_blockchain`.

 ### IPC File Paths
 
 The default location for Ethereum is:
  - `$HOME/Library/Ethereum` for Mac
  - `$HOME/.ethereum` for Ubuntu
- - `$GOPATH/src/gihub.com/vulcanize/vulcanizedb/test_data_dir/geth.ipc` for private blockchain.
+ - `$GOPATH/src/gihub.com/vulcanize/vulcanizedb/test_data_dir/geth.ipc` for private node.
 
 **Note the location of the ipc file is printed to the console when you start geth. It is needed to for configuration**
