Join Testnet Phase 2 with go-filecoin
Raw
testnet2-join.md

To join a go-filecoin node to the testnet follow these steps:

  1. Download the testnet car file from https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmXZQeezX1x8uRQX9EUaYxnyivUpTfJqQTvszk3c8SnFPN/testnet.car and keep the local path accessible
  2. Init the go-filecoin node with testnet configuration: go-filecoin init --genesisfile=<local-path-to-testnet.car> --network=testnet
  3. Start the daemon go-filecoin daemon
  4. Connect to existing nodes manually go-filecoin swarm connect <any-filecoin-node-mulitaddr>. Connecting to the bootstrap addresses is a good first step. To display these run go-filecoin config bootstrap.addresses

You will now begin syncing the testnet chain
