About

This repo contains needed files to get new EOS Community TestNet Block Producers and Full Nodes off the ground.

Hardware Requirements

This is still largely unknown. There is a report of a machine with 1 GB of ram and 1 core producing blocks and not dropping connections. Most folks are using at least 16g of ram and 4 cpus.

Software Requirements

There are reports of Ubuntu 16.04, 17.04, and 17.10 working correctly.
