A Quick Guide To Join MTEVX TESTNET

MTEVX Blockchain As A Service (सगरमाथा ब्लकचेन सेवा) is an Ethereum based private-chain for Nepali crypto users & Devs. We're currently running a TESTNET to build basic infrastructures for blockchains & learn more about the Blockchain tech.

Minimum system requirement to run MTEVX chain full client & miner:
1GB RAM+ | 4GB++ free space in drive
*32bits can't start miner (that's not a BUG).

Step by step guide to Join MTEVX TESTNET : 

1. Download our Testnet genesis:
   Copy that MTEVX_testnet.json to new folder, let's say "D:\MTEVX". 
2. Download & install latest go-ethereum (geth client) for your platform.
   You can copy installed geth.exe to "D:\MTEVX"
   OR add your geth installation directory as PATH in environment variables. 
3. Initialize genesis:  
   Before 1st run, we've to setup our Network ID & genesis block (zero block) in data dir
   CMD to D:\MTEVX  
   > geth --datadir ./data --networkid 8844 init MTEVX_testnet.json
4. Starting geth javascript console, it'll start local node & connect to bootnodes : From D:\MTEVX\
   >
   You can save that command as start.bat file in same DIR for easy access. geth --datadir ./data --networkid 8844 --bootnodes "enode://3d8657fbf30308571a4b4095e42b4e87b4805869db8b9aaa6bdc252f476638b47e989f1b80e7a9423cd06af883eb487a0bac99878f8e55a77b87b52506e8c16c@139.59.34.183:30301" --ethstats "yourName:@stats.mtevx.com:8080" console
5. Wait for sync to complete..
   You can attach another console with your node, makes it easy to input commands.
   Open another CMD, and switch to D:/MTEVX/
   >geth --datadir ./data attach
6. Creating New Account (aka: address/wallet)
   >personal.newAccount()enter password..
   Backup you keystore files inside ./data/keystore DIR & never ever forget your password. 
7.  Start mining :  
   You must sync full chain before starting miner & check internet connection/peer counts.
   You can check your peer count using > net.peerCount command.
   You can check our latest block at http://stats.mtevx.com:8080
   Start miner with this command, using one thread for CPU miner process.
   >miner.start(1)
   It'll generate DAG files on HDD for epochs and start mining process. (very slow on old PC/HDD)
   waiting.. :)

That's all for now, will update this post & write more about Blockchain Tech, solidity DApps examples & tutorials on our chain. Our website, chain explorer, p2p mining pool & web wallet will be live soon for TESTNET.
