October 5 Test Network

This gensis file uses a snapshot generated on October 5th.

chain id: 60e21871125ea9995fe498b7f68a87a85c6583725ea5448f6fd969c59a37df83
seed node: 104.236.51.238:2005

./witness_node -d oct5 --genesis-json oct5-genesis.json -s "104.236.51.238:2005"

The required genesis file is attached to this release, you will have to decompress it before launching your witness node.

Changes:

• network broadcasts are now automatically rate limited by network latency (nodes only fetch one block at a time)
• the undo history now uses the last_irreversible_block_num metric to determine how much undo history is necessary.
• certain c-style asserts that would halt in debug but not release have been replaced with FC_ASSERT which will throw an exception rather than halt.

Everyone participating in this test network should compile in release mode.

cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

Even though we are in a release build, please run your witness node in a debugger such as lldb or gdb so we can catch any crashes. When a crash occurs please run "bt" to generate a backtrace and open an issue with the crash report.

Minimum System Requirements

For highest reliability all witnesses should run on a system with at least 2 cores and 4 GB of RAM with a network connection capable of 10 Megabytes per second. These specs are designed to minimize latency and provide plenty of overhead to handle bursts, etc.
