Setup Maxcoin Testnet
Building on Linux
NOTE: These instructions have been tested and verified on Ubuntu 18.04
To install the required dependencies, run the following command from Ubuntu:
1
2
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install -y git build-essential libssl1.0-dev libboost-all-dev libdb-dev libdb++-dev libminiupnpc-dev libqrencode-dev libqt5gui5 libqt5core5a libqt5dbus5 qttools5-dev qttools5-dev-tools qt5-default
Then grab the latest version of the MaxCoin source code from Github:
1
2
3
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/Max-Coin/MaxCoin.git
cd MaxCoin/src
To build the daemon, run the following command:
1
make -f makefile.unix
Optionally, debugging symbols can be removed from the binary to reduce its size. This can be done using strip:
1
strip maxcoind
Edit maxcoin.conf
Get a copy of the maxcoin.conf example:
1
2
3
$ mkdir ~/.maxcoin/
$ mkdir ~/.maxcoin/testnet
$ cp ~/MaxCoin/maxcoin-EXAMPLE.conf ~/.maxcoin/testnet/maxcoin.conf
Edit the maxcoin.conf:
1
$ nano ~/.maxcoin/maxcoin.conf
The maxcoin.conf should have the following:
1
2
3

10
# Run on the test network instead of the real maxcoin network.
testnet=1
# Use as many addnode= settings as you like to connect to specific peers.
addnode=a.seed.maxcoinproject.net:18668
addnode=b.seed.maxcoinproject.net:18668
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
# Listen for RPC connections on this TCP port.
rpcport=8181
# Mining is initially enabled.
gen=1
NOTE: the file in this example was stored at ~/.maxcoin/testnet/maxcoin.conf NOTE2: REMEMBER TO CHANGE THE PASSWORD AT THE MAXCOIN.CONF
Run Maxcoin Testnet Server

$ cd ~/MaxCoin/src/
$ ./maxcoind -daemon --testnet
$ ./maxcoind stop
$ ./maxcoind -daemon --testnet -conf=testnet/maxcoin.conf
Verify connected peers
1
curl --user maxcoinrpc --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id": "curltest", "method": "getpeerinfo", "params": []}' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:8080/
NOTE: The required password is the one you set at the maxcoin.conf file.
