Bandwidth Credentials
You can now try using Nym Bandwidth Credentials in our Sandbox testnet environment.
Create a sandbox.env
file with the following details:
CONFIGURED=true
NETWORK_NAME=sandbox
RUST_LOG=info
RUST_BACKTRACE=1
BECH32_PREFIX=nymt

Create an account on Sandbox using the nym-cli:
./nym-cli --config-env-file <path-to>sandbox.env account create
You will need nymt
funds sent to this account. Get in touch via Nym Telegram or Discord and we can send them to you.
Next, you init the nym-client with the enabled credentials mode set to true:
./nym-client --config-env-file <path-to>sandbox.env init --id <ID> --enabled-credentials-mode true
Using the new credentials binary, purchase some credentials for the client. The recovery directory is a directory where the credentials will be temporarily stored in case the request fails.
./credential --config-env-file <path-to>sandbox.env run --client-home-directory <path-to-the-client-config> --nyxd-url https://rpc.sandbox.nymtech.net --mnemonic "<mnemonic of the account created above>" --amount 50 --recovery-dir <a-path>
You can redeem this now by running the nym-client, in enabled credentials mode:
./nym-client --config-env-file <path-to>sandbox.env run --id <ID> --enabled-credentials-mode true
Run the network requester which can be downloaded here
./nym-network-requester run
You need to run this version for now, as the
nym-client
functionality was recently integrated into thenetwork-requester
binary but for the moment cannot support coconut credentials natively.
Now time to init the socks5 client:
./nym-socks5-client --config-env-file <path-to>sandbox.env init --id <ID> --provider <insert provider address which was returned when init-ing the nym-client> --enabled-credentials-mode true
Purchase credentials for this now too:
./credential --config-env-file <path-to>sandbox.env run --client-home-directory <path-to-socks5-config> --nyxd-url https://rpc.sandbox.nymtech.net --mnemonic "<any valid sandbox mnemonic>" --amount 100 --recovery-dir <a-path>
Run the socks5 client:
./nym-socks5-client --config-env-file <path-to>sandbox.env run --id <ID> --enabled-credentials-mode true
NOTE
You can check to see if credentials have been correctly purchased by installing sqlite, and proceeding to do the following:
sqlite3 ~/.nym/socks5-clients/<ID>/data/credentials_database.db
select * from coconut_credentials;
