04:54:01 hey 05:59:27 hey 06:14:23 does the blockchain have to be fully synced before creating a testnet 06:15:33 let me rephrase that. after starting the daemon, does it have to be fully synced before i can run a testnet 13:13:31 No. 13:14:02 You can run an offline testnet with whatever chain you like. I often start --offline with a not quite synced db, then mine my blocks on top. 18:10:21 okay, so ive set up my testnet and mining blocks with my set difficulty. However, it is not asking me how much of the block reward I want after each block is mined. I feel like i am missing something here 18:11:50 Why would it ask you? Maybe I’m missing something. 18:12:42 well i added the piece of code that forces all miners to take the same coinbase reward again like in version 1. 18:13:24 and in my mind, there would be a prompt that would ask the miner how much of the coinbase reward they want up to R which is the max reward. I am probably going about it wrong 18:15:55 Why the hell would you want to ask "do you want to claim only part of the reward, which will make your block invalid ?" ? 18:27:36 thats the point. to prove that it can be made invalid if i say i want only a piece of it. 18:28:09 Then you want to make a test, not have tests embedded in day to day binaries. 18:28:37 See core tests. They're hard to get a hang of though, so... 18:29:47 okay. but question. i was looking at the codebase and i thought this was the test which led to me asking if there was a prompt to begin with 18:30:13 https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/VDLE3mTX/the%20bug%20prompt 18:34:12 MDEBUG is a logging macro, not an input one. 18:37:14 ohhh got it 19:21:22 can you compile two different versions of monero and run two different testnets on one machine? 19:23:29 Yes. Use different data directories and ports. 21:13:53 is it fine if it both versions bind to the same ip? If i run the daemon for both versions on the same machine, figured they shouldn't bind the same ip? 21:18:44 They can. Just use a different port. 22:56:53 so how do you reference each version to a testnet? I have both testnets running but I want one to run one version and another to run the other version. I compiled both and there were no issues. 23:02:24 You can compile different commits in separate build directories and use corresponding executable when need specific version.
