Where to find Testnet genesis file?

[spaceghost1337]

I cannot find the the Testnet genesis file anywhere in the docs. Mainnet yes... Testnet no? Could someone with this info please include it in the docs? Additionally, including it in the releases might be a good idea to do moving forward.

Thanks for your advice.

We do have a plan and a branch adding this feature. It was delayed due to other high priority things. I'm afraid it would not supposed to be provided in the new future.

Testnet would not release genesis file for some safety reasons.

Anyway, once the commitment decide to open the validator policy, Testnet would releases the genesis file and begin the upgrade tests.

@0xcb9ff9 Could you take a glance at it?
Would be better to zip the MainNet genesis file into the archive and docker image.

@DarianShawn embedding genesis file in binaries ? use flag switch Mainnet and Testnet

[DarianShawn]

Only support MainNet is enough now. Supply file in zip and docker is the minimum requirement.

[DarianShawn]

The needed feature is merged.

But we'll keep this issue unless we do provide the TestNet or some other test-usage network genesis file.

Hello @DarianShawn, are you providing testnet genesis file in the release now or is there anyway that I can get the genesis file and setup a testnet node?

[Supra-RaghulRajeshR]

hello i need to setup dogechain fullnode for testnet, can anyone provide me genesis.json file or something.

[0xcb9ff9]

@Supra-RaghulRajeshR If you need to run the test cluster in the local, can use this repository dogechain-testenv

[Supra-RaghulRajeshR]

@0xcb9ff9 hi, i want testnet full node, not cluster. can you pls help me with it.

@Supra-RaghulRajeshR

Testnet would not release genesis file for some safety reasons.

[Supra-RaghulRajeshR]

@0xcb9ff9 then how do i setup testnet full node? any other way is there?

[0xcb9ff9]

The dogechain genesis command can create a new network genesis file for local testing, like script create-genesis.sh

[Supra-RaghulRajeshR]

@0xcb9ff9 hi i don't want to set it up in local. i want it in testnet, ( ChainID: 568)

[DarianShawn]

The full node of the Testnet can be used, but it is not recommended to run it.
The genesis file is not compatible, and no public boot nodes provided, so syncing will not work.
Most importantly, we haven't updated the Testnet for such a long time. Lots of features and fix are not imported.

If you want to debug with current network features, we recommend using Devnet.
It is totally Mainnet features deployed, and always with new features pre-deployed and well tested.

The chain ID is 668.
Here is the endpoint: https://rpc-devnet.dogechain.dog
Explorer: https://explorer-devnet.dogechain.dog
Download and rename genesis.txt to genesis.json.
And don't forget to use the latest release.

@DarianShawn thanks i'll try this.

@DarianShawn hi i've followed this method but am facing an issue like this.

@Supra-RaghulRajeshR The bootnode address is wrong, use this
genesis.txt

[Supra-RaghulRajeshR]

@0xcb9ff9 thanks man it seems working.

[Supra-RaghulRajeshR]

HI @0xcb9ff9 can you pls help me how to establish the websocket???

just adding the '--enable-ws' is that enough or do i need to add any port number for it? and which port number it would use

[DarianShawn]

That's enough for enabling websocket feature.
The port reuses json rpc port, too.

[Supra-RaghulRajeshR]
