Since I had a time figuring out how to use it (no, I didn't look far for documentation, so it may be just me) - here's a starter for people wanting to try it: Starting the daemon: Code: ./dcrd --simnet --rpcuser=Slut --rpcpass=x --notls The "simnet" option puts it on testnet - I tried both "simnet" and "testnet" and didn't see a difference - "rpcuser" & "rpcpass" the same as Bitcoin clones, except "rpcpass" is called "rpcpassword" there, and "notls" is used so that you don't have to generate a TLS key to communicate via RPC. Communicating with it: Code: ./dcrctl -u Slut -P x --notls --simnet ping That pings the server, using the previously set user/pass, and ensuring it doesn't look for a TLS cert. More when I figure out the config file format.
I am getting the following errors in wallet repeatedly, i guess it is normal, but being a testnet i am posting here to be sure everything is working as it should Code: difficulty.

I find I get this, using the dcrd invocation I posted earlier: Code: ./dcrctl -u Slut -P x --notls --simnet getnewaddress -1: This implementation does not implement wallet commands
You need to specify --wallet for wallet commands. For blockchainish commands you omit --wallet. A necessity of having the wallet/blockchain separated as much as they are.
Am I correct if I specify my wallet for mining with decd --miningaddr=TsXJFVrvTXizqe6DopRPRBcYpYdFUu9XBut ?
I though so too but the stats show that it's would not be caused by just decred as all there servers are effected. a lot of devs taht use github are calling this a snow day.
Github has been down for over an hour now, can anyone share their copy of downloaded testnet binary? thanks
I'm not doubting you, but is there a reason you can't simply activate whatever internal flag "--wallet" activates upon being asked to perform a command that requires it?
Be wary of running someone's random executeable. I'd highly recommend waiting until github is back up or at least getting _ingsoc to provide the signatures to verify the binaries.
I'll have to doublecheck that there's no overlap but yes it should be possible to streamline things so wallet commands get auto-routed to dcrwallet's RPC port so you don't need to specify.
GitHub is back up! Get your binaries from there!! Only download from here if there is no other way for you to get them. If anyone wants me to take those down, please PM me and I will do so. I uploaded the official windows binaries here: https://cloud.sg-o.de/index.php/s/qYeUmeStVg10LcY https://cloud.sg-o.de/index.php/s/dklACdfhC74yy8n Manifest: https://cloud.sg-o.de/index.php/s/Y7IHbeWz8cfgLOI Check the signatures!!
