You can test your DApp using a local single-node testnet if you want to set one up. In most cases, though, you might not need to set up a testnet yourself. Instead, you can using an existing testnet. Here are the running testnets you can utilize.
You can run tests with metamask, truffle, or remix.
This is a testnet for smartBCH with votes from a BCHN testnet, which has a bitcoincashnode client which mines with CPU.The chain ID is 0x2711. You can use the following JSON-RPC nodes:
Test coin faucet can be found at http://34.92.246.27:8080/faucet
We sincerely thank Allen Day for donating several cloud servers to bring up this testnet.
In this testnet, the gas price can be as low as 1Gwei.
To join this testnet as a non-validator node, follow the steps below:
First, build the latest binary by running the step 0, 1, 2, 3 of this document.
Second, clone & build smartbch from amber branch:
cd ~/smart_bch
git clone -b amber --depth 1 https://github.com/smartbch/smartbch
cd smartbch
go build -tags cppbtree github.com/smartbch/smartbch/cmd/smartbchdThird, prepare the working directory:
cp ~/smart_bch/smartbch/smartbchd ~/build/smartbchd
cd ~
rm -rf .smartbchd
~/build/smartbchd init mynode --chain-id 0x2711
wget https://github.com/smartbch/artifacts/releases/download/v0.0.4/dot.smartbchd.tgz
tar zxvf dot.smartbchd.tgz
cp -rf dot.smartbchd/* .smartbchd/Last, start smartbchd.
~/build/smartbchd start --mainnet-genesis-height=602983Then you can join the testnet as a non-validator. If want to become a validator, please follow this guide.
