I have been very excited about DPoS technology lately and have began witnessing on 4 DPoS blockchains (Steemit, DECENT, MUSE, PeerPlays). EOS testnet has been released, I have built the tools and I am producing blocks on the testnet.

I did not have a hard time building with updated build tools, everything worked in a flash. I only ran into one problem. I had eosd running fine and producing blocks but eosc was giving me a segmentation fault, because I forgot to add plugin = eos::chain_api_plugin to the config. Now I can query the blockchain for info:

I could not create my tester account at first because the inita account did not have any EOS . I had to transfer EOS from the main eos account to the account name inita so I could create the tester account. I ran the command ./eosc transfer eos inita 2 and this transferred 2 EOS to the account name inita.

Here is the testnet producing blocks beautifully (and quickly!)

Testnet Server

• Xeon(R) CPU E5-26xx
• 16GB RAM
• 400 GB SSD
• Ubuntu 16.04
• Germany
  
  

I will continue to give more updates as things progress with EOS. Thanks.
