1. Connecting the clients
All clients supporting the go-ethercore protocol can sync with EtherCore Testnet.
You can connect Geth-EtherCore https://github.com/ethercore/go-ethercore/releases/latest to EtherCore Testnet by executing
$ geth –test
2. Connecting Metamask
You could connect EtherCore Testnet with your Metamask plugin installed on your browser.
Add the following config value to Custom RPC settings.
Network Name: EtherCore Testnet
New RPC URL: https://testnet-rpc.ethercore.io
ChainID: 468
Symbol: ERE
Block Explorer URL: https://testnet-explorer.ethercore.io
Now you could use your Metamask plugin to receive testnet coins, deploying contract with https://remix.ethereum.io, and interacting DApps deployed on EtherCore Testnet!
3. Receiving Testnet Coins
Create new wallet from https://wallet.ethercore.io/?network=ethercore_testnet and receive some testnet coins from https://testnet-faucet.ethercore.io to play with
4. Mining on EtherCore Testnet
Not only requesting coins from faucet, you could also mine some testnet coins via testnet pool https://testnet-pool.ethercore.io
Like mining on Mainnet, fetch the EthCoreMiner and start your miner with the following configuration.
Here is the example bat file for windows
:start
TIMEOUT 10
ethcoreminer.exe -P stratum1+tcp://0xbf0d596191fed3c4ed421a42ee4b9bf21bc1139d.rig1@testnet-pool.ethercore.io:8008
goto start
