During this tutorials you will need an Echo node
and Echo wallet
.
Running private network is as simple as
./echo_node --devnet --start-echorand --rpc-endpoint 127.0.0.1:19999
This will create data directory at ~/.echo.devnet
with config.ini
in it. This file contains various settings and account's private keys that are used during consensus.
To start Echo wallet you need to know node address and port
, its chain id
and run command:
./echo_wallet \
-s ws://127.0.0.1:19999 \
--chain-id e5da051fd6fe4859f9b9cd100fac9ade49be619b9830db53d117b14a48b3931b
If remote node has different chain id
then you will get a error with remote chain id
which you can copy-paste into your command.
Remote server gave us an unexpected chain_id
{"remote_chain_id":"64f6619b923a36a49d30692a36583066ee7e4bdc71a2ab16805e085eb76bfe0e",
"chain_id":"e5da051fd6fe4859f9b9cd100fac9ade49be619b9830db53d117b14a48b3931b"}
Next step is to set password in your wallet with set_password
command:
new >>> set_password
Input private data: sw0rdf1sh
Now every time you will open this wallet (with wallet.json
file) you will need to unlock
it to make any operations with your accounts.
locked >>> unlock
Input private data: sw0rdf1sh
Now you can import account keys.
You can get private keys of devnet accounts in your config.ini
. Here listed accounts from init0
to init8
and nathan
which is the only account with init balance in default devnet genesis.
Using these private keys you can import accounts into your wallet and do any paid operations.
To import key into wallet you need to run import_key <account> <private key>
command:
unlocked >>> import_key nathan
Input private data: 5JjHQ1GqTbqVZLdTB3QRqcUWA6LezqA65iPJbq5craE6MRc4u9K
{% hint style="info" %}
Note that private key is a private data and entered in the next line after import_key nathan
.
{% endhint %}
If account has initial balances defined in genesis, then you can import them with import_balance
command:
unlocked >>> import_balance nathan true
Input private data: [5JjHQ1GqTbqVZLdTB3QRqcUWA6LezqA65iPJbq5craE6MRc4u9K]
