Developer Instructions

Install

make virtualenv
source env/bin/activate

Configure client and run node

Note: Replace network-name with your chosen network (e.g. shipchain-testnet-alpha)

1. Join a network hydra client join-network -n network-name
2. Configure client hydra client configure -n network-name
3. Start node and begin syncing with network - this will take a while cd network-name && ./start_blockchain.sh

Your node is sync'd to the network when curl localhost:46657/status returns sync_info.catching_up: false

Shipchain validator node commands can be accessed from ~/hydra/network-name/shipchain
