public testnet demo

[aeyakovenko]

make sure something like this works:

Public testnet

Testnet is reset every TBD minutes.

Register a node



cargo run --release --bin solana-fullnode-config -- -d -b PORT > validator.json

Run the validator


./multinode-demo/validator.sh validator.json -t testnet.solana.com:8000

register a client, which will be granted some testnet tokens


cargo run --release --bin solana-client-config -- -t testnet.solana.com:8000 > client.json

run the client demo, which will spend the testnet tokens as fast as it can


cargo run --release --bin solana-client-demo -- client.json validator.json

the demo will show the account state on the leader, and on your local validator.

@garious how about solana-config --client testnet.solana.com

[garious]

Confusing. The parameter to --client is the server address? How about something like:

solana-config --node-type=client --server=testnet.solana.com

[aeyakovenko]

for the server:

solana-config --node-type=server --network=testnet.solana.com

[garious]

This all works now, right? Close it? @mvines

I was leaving this open until I'm confident that the last bit works:

... and on your local validator.

I'm not right now, aka #538

Validators may not be voting right in the public testnet ATM, debugging

Looks pretty solid now
