Testnets for Regen Ledger
congo-1 is due to have it's genesis block set in stone on Thursday November 7th at 1700 UTC (08/11 at 0200KST, 1200EST and 0900PST).
We have a working fork of Lunie at https://lunie.regen.network and a fork of Big Dipper at at https://bigdipper.regen.network/
The genesis files are in ./latest. This testnet is not incentivised and is run purely by the community for the benefit of those validators working on integrations and tooling to have a sandbox.
We have airdropped testnet tokens to all participants in the regen-testnet-1001 genesis plus all accounts that ran a validator in that testnet. If you would like to participate and have not received tokens, you can get some from this faucet: http://regen.coris.network/faucet, ask in our validator telegram channel: https://t.me/joinchat/FJGNSxOpjJcgrUGwAAOKUg or open an issue with an address and we'll send you some.
For those wanting to develop against the Regen test network APIs, please use the following highly available service provided by Chorus One:
This section applies ONLY if you are wishing to validate from the genesis block. This process will close at 1700UTC on 6th November 2019
$ curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/regen-network/testnets/master/congo-1/genesis.json > ~/.xrnd/config/genesis.json
$ xrnd add-genesis-account $(xrncli keys show <your_wallet_name> -a) 1000000000tree,100000000000seed
$ xrnd gentx --name <your_wallet_name> --amount 900000000tree
If all goes well, you will see the following message:
Genesis transaction written to "/home/user/.xrnd/config/gentx/gentx-f8038a89034kl987ebd493b85a125624d5f4770.json"
Submit your gentx in a PR here
Please refer to the Cosmos Hub documentation on validators for a general overview of running a validator. We are using the exact same validator model and software, but with slightly different parameters and other functionality specific to Regen Network.
$ sudo apt-get install gcc g++
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jim380/node_tooling/master/Cosmos/CLI/go_install.sh
$ chmod +x go_install.sh
$ ./go_install.sh -v 1.12.5
At the time of this writing, 1.12.5 is the latest version of Golang. Go 1.12+ is required for the Cosmos SDK.
$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/regen
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/regen
$ git clone -b <latest-release-tag> https://github.com/regen-network/regen-ledger
$ cd regen-ledger
$ make install
Find the latest release tags here. To verify if installation was successful:
$ xrnd version --long
$ xrncli version --long
$ xrnd init --chain-id=regen-test-1001 <your_moniker>
$ xrncli keys add <your_wallet_name>

Make sure you back up the mnemonics !!!
If you are joining at genesis scroll down to the section on Creating a Genesis Validator!
Please follow the documentation provided on creating a validator for Cosmos hub, replacing gaiad and gaiacli with xrnd and xrncli respectively. Also our testnet staking token denomination is tree and Regen addresses begin with xrn: instead of cosmos.
Fetch genesis.json into xrnd's config directory.
$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/regen-network/testnets/master/regen-test-1001/genesis.json > $HOME/.xrnd/config/genesis.json
Add seed nodes in config.toml.
$ nano $HOME/.xrnd/config/config.toml
Find the following section and add the seed nodes.
# Comma separated list of seed nodes to connect to
seeds = "15ee12ae5fe8256ee94d1065e0000893e52532d9@regen-seed-eu.chorus.one:36656,ca130fd7ca16a957850a96ee9bdb74a351c4929f@regen-seed-us.chorus.one:36656"
$ sudo nano /lib/systemd/system/xrnd.service

This tutorial assumes $HOME/go_workspace to be your Go workspace. Your actual workspace directory may vary.
Method 1 - With systemd
$ sudo systemctl enable xrnd
$ sudo systemctl start xrnd
Check node status
$ xrncli status
Check logs
$ sudo journalctl -u xrnd -f
Method 2 - Without systemd
$ xrnd start
Check node status
$ xrncli status
The testnets listed below are no longer active but are retained here for posterity. Do not waste your time trying to join them :)
regen-test-1001 ran between August and October 2019. It is now defunct, having discovered a cosmos-sdk bug in governance-driven parameter updates logic.
regen-test-1000 hit some weird consensus error on app state at block 2.
Testnet xrn-test-3 started producing blocks at 2019-03-29T19:44:44.571815638Z and is now defunct.
xrncli can be configured to connect to the testnet as follows:
xrncli init --chain-id xrn-test-2 --node tcp://xrn-us-east-1.regen.network:26657Deployed at 2018-12-19T20:40:06.463846Z.
The initial Regen Ledger testnet xrn-1 was deployed on 2018-12-19.
