Rubix simulator

[vaishnav-ch]

For a new user, setting up the Rubix node and performing transfers is a bit time consuming thing. We can provide a simulation environment which can setup nodes and perform transfers.

Steps included in the simulation are :-

• Download IPFS, create testswarm.key and create a blank quorumlist.json
• Run the required number of nodes. (Exec can be downloaded by the user from releases page)
• Creating DIDs and storing it in an temp array.
• Registering all the DIDs and setting up quorum DIDs.
• Adding these quorum DIDs to the quorumlist.json and Adding Quorumlist to sender and receiver nodes.
• Perform transfers.
• Shutting down the nodes and removing node folders can be kept optional.

Steps user need to follow are :-

• Get the simulation files from Rubix repo.
• Download latest Rubix executable from releases page and move the exec to the simulation file's folder
• Run the simulation script.

At later point we can change this in such a way that the user can provide the number of nodes ,quorums and tokens. Also a report can be generated with the transfer results.
