This repository implements a proof-of-concept version of LightChain blockchain.
Modify the simulation parameters in simulation.config, which looks something like this:
nodeCount = 3 [//The](//the) number of nodes to spawn
iterations = 100 // The number of transactions to generate
pace = 1 // The time between every transaction generated (in seconds)
alpha = 10 // upper limit of attempts to search for validators
txmin = 1 // minimum number of Tx in a block
signaturesThreshold = 1 // minimum number of signatures to accept a block
initialBalance = 20 // balance to start with at launch
levels = 30 // length of nameID (levels of skip graph)
Mode = True // honest or malicious
validationFees = 1 // reward received by validator
Token = 20 // Represents any type of asset
// Mode of lightchain
//(False -> original || True -> Smartcontract)
ContractMode = False
In solidityContracts folder put your .sol file. Detailed instructions are given in docs.
Then you have to build the container. You need to do this step for any change in the code.
make build-container
Then you run the docker container. If needed, you can change the name of the docker container simdocker to anything else, provided you replace all other instances of the name subsequently.
sudo docker run --name simdocker -d lightchain
Then, to copy all the logs and the simulation results, use the following command:
sudo docker cp simdocker:/app/ .
If you have too many containers that are stopped and you want to remove them, the following command is useful:
sudo docker rm $(sudo docker ps -a -q)
