Synchronising a full node

To join the testnet, download latest Ergo protocol reference client and launch using

java -jar -Xmx4G ergo-*.jar --testnet -c testnet.conf

A minimal testnet.conf would be:

ergo {
  networkType = "testnet"
}
scorex {
 restApi {
    # Hex-encoded Blake2b256 hash of an API key. Should be 64-chars long Base16 string.
    # Below is hash corresponding to API_KEY = "hello" (with no quotes)
    apiKeyHash = "324dcf027dd4a30a932c441f365a25e86b173defa4b8e58948253471b81b72cf"
  }
}

The node will be available at localhost:9052/panel

Once the node is synchronised, a user interface for Swagger is available at localhost:9052/swagger.
