Turn devnet into a mirror of testnet allowing us to test forks on the testnet blockchain in isolation from the actual testnet network. To facilitate this a start-up flag will be added to allow devnet to connect directly to testnet to bootstrap itself without having to manually swap data directories over. Once synced devnet can then run whatever changes are being proposed.
Start up flag
-devnet-bootstrap, this is required for defid and defi-cli as below.To prevent the testnet and devnet talking to each other accidentally a different magic number (pchMessageStart) is used for network communication, when
devnet-bootstrapis set then the magic number is set to the same as testnet.
