difficultysim

README

This simulator simulates changes in the nonce algorithm, based on options set in a JSON file. For running the simulation we need to provide json file storing account information about various stakers. The simulation can be run for virtual day,week or month (passing the corresponding parameter). Various blockchain parameters can be defined in energi/consensus/difficultysim/params/params.go file. The output/result csv file is written in energi/consensus/difficultysim/csv directory

Run the simulator

Show staker mining output, if we need to run DiffV1 functionality there is a parameter AsgardIsActive in params/params.go to be set correspondingly, simulator can be run for specific period - for a day, week or month

go run main.go -stakeConfig=./config/testnet.config.json -simulationPeriod=day

To get up-to-date help on the parameters:

go run . --help

JSON File Description

The example JSON file config.sample.json represents a SimConfig object and defines a very basic simulation, similar to this example:

{
   "Stakers":[
      {
         "name":"Jack",
         "accounts":[
            {
               "address":"eXAYraZVrH",
               "balance":2000000,
               "nonceCap":0
            }
         ]
      },
      {
         "name":"Rose",
         "accounts":[
            {
               "address":"SAaOknvphY",
               "balance":22737,
               "nonceCap":0
            },
            {
               "address":"lkKLml2j312",
               "balance":22737,
               "nonceCap":0
            }
         ]
      }
   ]
}
