Compile and run

To compile and run the program, the config file must be created with the following format:

SEED=seed.testnet.bitcoin.sprovoost.nl
PROTOCOL_VERSION=70012
PORT=18333
LOG=log.txt
NPEERS=10
STORE_PATH=store
CLIENT_ONLY=false

A working example of this is shown in the example-config file.

Then we run the following command line:

cargo run --release configpath

Run two nodes in the same machine

To connect a second node to the first one, we must create a second config file with the following format:

SEED=127.0.0.1
PROTOCOL_VERSION=70012
PORT=18333
LOG=second-log.txt
NPEERS=1
STORE_PATH=second-store
CLIENT_ONLY=true

The client_only flag must be set to true to avoid the second node to act as a server and coliding with the first one on the p2p port. The store_path must be different from the first one to avoid colisions on the database.
