![[PoSV] public alpha version now in github](/content/images/size/w2000/wordpress/2019/06/default_img.png)
Dear fellow Reddheads:
I’ve now tagged the alpha version of PoSV wallet for testnet as posv-alpha in github repo. The last PoW block on testnet is 20999. Please follow the steps below:
- git clone https://github.com/reddcoin-project/reddcoin.git
- git checkout posv-alpha
- compile both daemon and QT wallet on your platform
- remove all blockchain related files and folders and only keep your testnet wallet.dat
- encrypt your wallet.dat, which is a must for staking (i.e. minting)
- start your daemon / QT wallet with testnet=1 either on command line or config file. also our dedicated node: addnode=108.174.49.42
- The last PoW block is 20999 which was reached a short while ago.
- Once the blockchain is sync’ed, you can enable staking on QT wallet by go to menu Settings -> Unlock Wallet. You will see a new checkbox saying: “For staking only”. Leave it as it is. You can enable staking on daemon with RPC call “reddcoind walletpassphrase $yourpassword 9999999 true”
- You can check the status of staking by pointing mouse over the new icon at the bottom right corner of QT wallet, or by RPC call getstakinginfo.
- You’ll see your staking transactions on the Transactions tab. All of them are with type Generated.
- Post your testnet addresses below so we can randomly send each other coins.
This testing is only for tech-savvy users. I’m keeping the instructions very concise. Please post any question below.
