Bytom Fast Synchronize
When we are developing in a test environment, it may take a long time to synchronize all the blocks. So how can we quickly synchronize and facilitate our rapid development? Today I will show you how to fast synchronize by modifying the Bytom source. Let's synchronize !
###Step one: Get the hash of the current block Main network： https://blockmeta.com/api/v2/latest-block
Test network： https://blockmeta.com/api/wisdom/latest-block
Returned hash:
###Step two: Get the source code of Bytom
Requirements: go1.8 or higher, and $GOPATH is set as the preferred directory
Installation: Make sure the version supported by go is installed correctly
$ go version
$ go env GOPATH GOPATH
Get the source code：
$ git clone https://github.com/Bytom/bytom.git $GOPATH/src/github.com/bytom
###Step three: Modify source
Main network：
After downloading the source code, find the variable MainNetParams that declares the parameters of the main network in the general.go file under bytom/consensus. At the end of the Checkpoints, add the height of the current block according to the previous format, and perform the hash of the first block every two digits. Split, plus 0x before every two digits.
Test network：
If it is a test network, find the variable TestNetParams under MainNetParams, the specific operation refers to the main network.
###Step four: Compile and run
Reference：https://github.com/Bytom/bytom
###Step five: Verification
- When you find the log out at a rate of 100 blocks per second, the operation is successful.
- Open the local wallet browser and you will soon find the following screenshot:
