We will select the bootstrap during the session.

casperlabs://4c93621277aa5aa2e460707b1dab9496a0ddfd66@3.16.135.188?protocol=40400&discovery=40404

Node 0.8.1 Githash: c87e32fc48e078972fec6ef0391e81fd5e52714f

Make sure you have a public / private key pair that you have generated via the explorer at https://clarity.casperlabs.io
Run the Execution Engine first, before launching the node.
Delete the data directory if you have to upgrade the node software or restart your node.
- global-state
- blockstore
- dagstore
- sqlite.db
When generating Keys using Docker, use the wrapper script as documented in GitHub

Notes

Create accounts.csv as a group

We will create the accounts file required to build the genesis block

Provide the base64 public key to Medha and Tom during the testing session to generate accounts.csv
Tom will create a gist for accounts.csv which everyone can download
Everyone should verify the md5sum of the file.
Medha starts up as the bootstrap and publishes the address to the group.
- Starts with --casper-auto-propose-enabled
Everyone validates that they create the same genesis block
Medha observes peers
Genesis block approvals from the group

Medha sends a deploy to her node

Perform a token transfer between accounts

Transfer tokens between accounts

Create accounts using the transfer function

casperlabs-client --host localhost transfer -a amount_to_transfer -t "target_account_in_base64" --private-key path_to_private_key --payment-amount 1

Verify the balance

casperlabs-client --host localhost balance -a base16accountid -b blockhash

Stefan, Medha and Tom were able to launch the genesis block and approve it
DAG grew to 23 blocks
System finalized blocks - rank #4. Medha’s node was doing most of the proposing.
Token transfers worked.

New feature request to check for latest blocks for transfer requests by default
Request to have a sentry to protect the validator nodes' open ports
Desire to have a ‘clean’ tool to blow away default state with ease
Make more obvious that the accounts.csv file has to exist under
./casperlabs/chainspec/genesis/accounts.csv

Next session let’s have some scripts ready that will perform installations
More folks proposing and deploying.
If possible, would be great to have nodes somewhere besides AWS, so we can start observing how the gossip layer performs.
