chia-blockchain

Python 3.7 is used for this project. Make sure your python version is >=3.7 by typing python3.

Install on Debian/Ubuntu

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake python3-dev python3-venv --no-install-recommends mongodb-org=4.2.1
sh install.sh

# Run mongo database
mongod --fork --dbpath ./db/ --logpath mongod.log

. .venv/bin/activate

Install on MacOS

Make sure brew is available before starting the setup.

brew tap mongodb/brew
brew install cmake boost gmp mpir mpfr mongodb-community@4.2

git clone https://github.com/Chia-Network/chia-blockchain.git && cd chia-blockchain

git clone https://github.com/wbhart/flint2

sh install.sh

# Run mongo database
mongod --fork --dbpath ./db/ --logpath mongod.log

. .venv/bin/activate

Generate keys

First, create some keys by running the following script:

python -m scripts.regenerate_keys

Run a full node

To run a full node on port 8002, and connect to the testnet, run the following command. This wil also start an ssh server in port 8222 for the UI, which you can connect to to see the state of the node.

python -m src.server.start_full_node "127.0.0.1" 8444 -id 1 -u 8222 &
ssh -p 8222 localhost

Run a farmer + full node

Farmers are entities in the network who use their hard drive space to try to create blocks (like Bitcoin's miners), and earn block rewards. First, you must generate some hard drive plots, which can take a long time depending on the size of the plots. Then, run the farmer + full node with the following script. A full node is also started on port 8002, which you can ssh into to view the node UI.

python -m scripts.create_plots -k 20 -n 10
sh ./scripts/run_farming.sh

Run a timelord + full node

Timelords execute sequential verifiable delay functions (proofs of time), that get added to blocks to make them valid. This requires fast CPUs and a lot of memory.

sh ./scripts/run_timelord.sh

Tips

When running the servers on Mac OS, allow the application to accept incoming connections.

UPnP is enabled by default, to open the port for incoming connections. If this causes issues, you can disable it in the configuration. Some routers may require port forwarding, or enabling UPnP in the router configuration.

You can also run the simulation, which runs all servers and multiple full nodes, locally, at once. If you want to run the simulation, change the introducer ip in ./config/config.yaml so that the full node points to the local introducer (192.0.0.1:8445).

sh ./scripts/run_all_simulation.sh

Run tests and linting

The first time the tests are run, BlockTools will create and persist many plots. These are used for creating proofs of space during testing. The next time tests are run, this won't be necessary. Make sure to run mongo before running the tests.

mongod --dbpath ./db/ &
black src tests && flake8 src && mypy src tests
py.test tests -s -v

Configure VS code

Install Python extension
Set the environment to ./.venv/bin/python
Install mypy plugin
Preferences > Settings > Python > Linting > flake8 enabled
Preferences > Settings > Python > Linting > mypy enabled
Preferences > Settings > Formatting > Python > Provider > black
Preferences > Settings > mypy > Targets: set to ./src and ./tests
