10. Labs for Builders
10.1 How-To’s
Networking
- Testnets are on IPv4. The network can run on IPv6 but currently not both at the same time.
- Using UDP via QUICK
Bad Node Detection Criteria (as of March 2024)
For Close nodes
- Repeated Connection issues
- Bad price quotes offered (that does not make sense)
- Failure to replicate data( thresholds?)
- Connection issues
- Reported as bad by close nodes
Reward Structure
age has no factor in the rewards.
Node age has no factor in the rewards. The live_time is just used to lower the quote bit, to encourage nodes staying longer with the network. It is not a direct reward, just a factor to make network being more stable.
10.2 Community Testnets
BasicEconomyTweaks (March 28, 2024)
Node version: 0.105.2 / Client version: 0.90.2 / Faucet URL: 188.166.171.13:8000
Difference from previous testnet:
[ Install BasicEconomyTweaks Configuration ]
| Assumes a clean machine (no ~/.local/ present)
[ ] Install client #ValentinesNet

[ ] Install node

[ Get some tokens for your wallet ]
safe wallet get-faucet 188.166.171.13:8000
#vdash is 0.17.2 with fix to show Records stored.- Average traffic is lower than previous testnet: 24h average is 3GB per node, bbbbadnet was 16.5GB per node.
- 2GB of RAM for about 100 nodes per physical host at the moment, or 4GB of RAM for 200 nodes.
