# JoiningTestnet
|
|
|
|
This document outlines the steps to join the public testnet
|
|
|
|
## Steps
|
|
|
|
1. Install the Ethermint binaries (ethermintd & ethermint cli)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/tharsis/ethermint
|
|
cd ethermint
|
|
git checkout v0.4.1
|
|
make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Create an Ethermint account
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ethermintcli keys add <keyname>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Copy genesis file
|
|
|
|
Follow this [link](https://gist.github.com/araskachoi/43f86f3edff23729b817e8b0bb86295a) and copy it over to the directory ~/.ethermintd/config/genesis.json
|
|
|
|
4. Add peers
|
|
|
|
Edit the file located in ~/.ethermintd/config/config.toml and edit line 350 (persistent_peers) to the following
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
"05aa6587f07a0c6a9a8213f0138c4a76d476418a@18.204.206.179:26656,13d4a1c16d1f427988b7c499b6d150726aaf3aa0@3.86.104.251:26656,a00db749fa51e485c8376276d29d599258052f3e@54.210.246.165:26656"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
5. Validate genesis and start the Ethermint network
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ethermintd validate-genesis
|
|
|
|
ethermintd start --pruning=nothing --rpc.unsafe --log_level "main:info,state:info,mempool:info" --trace
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
(we recommend running the command in the background for convenience)
|
|
|
|
6. Start the RPC server
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ethermintcli rest-server --laddr "tcp://localhost:8545" --unlock-key $KEY --chain-id etherminttestnet-777 --trace --rpc-api "web3,eth,net"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
where `$KEY` is the key name that was used in step 2.
|
|
(we recommend running the command in the background for convenience)
|
|
|
|
7. Request funds from the faucet
|
|
|
|
You will need to know the Ethereum hex address, and it can be found with the following command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -X POST --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_accounts","params":[],"id":1}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:8545
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Using the output of the above command, you will then send the command with your valid Ethereum address
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" --request POST --data '{"address":"0xYourEthereumHexAddress"}' 3.95.21.91:3000
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Public Testnet Node RPC Endpoints
|
|
|
|
- **Node0**: `54.210.246.165:8545`
|
|
- **Node1**: `3.86.104.251:8545`
|
|
- **Node2**: `18.204.206.179:8545`
|
|
|
|
example:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -X POST --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_chainId","params":[],"id":1}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" 54.210.246.165:8545
|
|
```
