# Pond UI Pond is a graphical testbed for [Lotus](https://docs.lotu.sh). Using it will setup a separate local network which is helpful for debugging. Pond will spin up nodes, connect them in a given topology, start them mining, and observe how they function over time. ## Build ```sh make pond ``` ## Run ```sh ./pond run ``` Now go to `http://127.0.0.1:2222`. ## What can I test? - The `Spawn Node` button starts a new **Lotus Node** in a new draggable window. - Click `[Spawn Miner]` to start a **Lotus Miner**. This require's the node's wallet to have funds. - Click on `[Client]` to open the **Lotus Node**'s client interface and propose a deal with an existing Miner. If successful you'll see a payment channel open up with that Miner. Don't leave Pond unattended for more than 10 hours, the web client will eventually consume all available RAM. ## Troubleshooting - Turn it off and on - Start at the top - `rm -rf ~/.lotus ~/.lotusminer/`, this command will delete chain sync data, stored wallets, and other configurations so be careful. - Verify you have the correct versions of dependencies - If stuck on a bad fork, try `lotus chain sethead --genesis`
