Preamble

I really love Lyn Alden for her great write-ups. Her tireless and relentless pursuit of Bitcoin truths, and naturally the fact that she came to almost the same conclusions about Bitcoin as are most compatible with ancient Bitcoiner understanding is very rare: either she is a goddess in terms of digging up high-quality information (my current assumption,) or someone with an ancient Bitcoin understanding is very carefully supplying otherwise heavily obscured information to her over time. Typically new people are bombarded by the lies and massive self-referential echo chambers that Bitcoin attackers have been building for 8 years or more and based on experience it's difficult even for extremely intelligent and capable people to avoid mistakenly integrating at least a few of these lies over time.

Also, it's been very helpful for Lyn to make Bitcoin truths stick in other peoples' heads: I no longer need to repeat so many things ad nauseum, because her charisma is significant and people believe her.

Syncing Neutrino With Pre-#1319 and Post-#1319 BTCD

Setup

We have two BTCD nodes:

  • testnet1-btcd.zaphq.io, running BTCD commit before the #1319 filter fix
  • btcd-testnet.ion.radar.tech, running BTCD commit after the #1319 filter fix

We're running the version of LND packaged with the v0.4.4 release of Lightning-App:

  • Version: 0.5.2-99-beta commit=queue/v1.0.1-17-g09059eacf06068aefe6e5b23a0276fdcd8021d86

Setting up the Venus testnet on Ethermint (a Tendermint EVM chain, part of the Cosmos project)

All of this is prefaced on having Go installed: https://golang.org/doc/install Go is properly installed if echo $GOPATH returns something that makes sense.

Ethermint

First, install Ethermint. Normally I'd do this:

$ go get -u -d github.com/tendermint/ethermint
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/tendermint/ethermint
