Parity Node using Kovan and Ropsten Test Networks

Setup Parity Client (macOS)

echo 'export PATH=/Applications/Parity\ Ethereum.app/Contents/MacOS:$PATH' >> ~/.bash_profile && source ~/.bash_profile

Setup Ropsten Test Network (PoW)

echo -e "enode://20c9ad97c081d63397d7b685a412227a40e23c8bdc6688c6f37e97cfbc22d2b4d1db1510d8f61e6a8866ad7f0e17c02b14182d37ea7c3c8b9c2683aeb6b733a1@52.169.14.227:30303\nenode://6ce05930c72abc632c58e2e4324f7c7ea478cec0ed4fa2528982cf34483094e9cbc9216e7aa349691242576d552a2a56aaeae426c5303ded677ce455ba1acd9d@13.84.180.240:30303" >> ropstenpeers.txt
  • Create a signer account for use by the Miner in the Ropsten Network. Entered and confirmed a fake password when prompted. It returns the account address (i.e. 0x56183a35c057f32dc71307dec8b8c60da055eae2) and creates a key in testnet/keys/ropsten
parity account new --chain ropsten --keys-path "/Users/Ls/Library/Application Support/io.parity.ethereum/testnet/keys" --db-path "Users/Ls/Library/Application Support/io.parity.ethereum/testnet/chains"

  • Replace relevant addresses for Operation Options and Miner Options in kovan-config.toml with the account address that was generated

  • Remove engine_signer = "0x56183a35c057f32dc71307dec8b8c60da055eae2" since cannot set engine signer on a PoW chain

  • Run the Parity Node with the custom configuration that uses the Ropsten Network

    • UI version
      • Add to WebSocket config origins = ["http://127.0.0.1:8180"]
parity ui --config ./kovan-config.toml -lrpc=trace
  • CLI version
parity --config ./ropsten-config.toml -lrpc=trace

Setup Kovan Test Network (PoA)

  • Create kovan-config.toml

  • Create a signer account for use by the Miner in the Kovan Network. Entered and confirmed a fake password when prompted. It returns the account address (i.e. 0x983696f4594180ab677e76835834f871b21fe5b2) and creates a key in testnet/keys/kovan

parity account new --chain kovan --keys-path "/Users/Ls/Library/Application Support/io.parity.ethereum/testnet/keys" --db-path "Users/Ls/Library/Application Support/io.parity.ethereum/testnet/chains"
  • Note: Running the above avoids error:
Consensus signer account not found for the current chain. You can create an account via RPC, UI or `parity account new --chain kovan --keys-path /Users/Ls/Library/Application Support/io.parity.ethereum/testnet/keys`.

  • Replace relevant addresses for Operation Options and Miner Options in kovan-config.toml with the account address that was generated and ensure that use /Users/Ls instead of $HOME for the path value. See openethereum/parity-ethereum#7392

  • Create Log file and Passwords file for Kovan Testnet

mkdir -p "$HOME/Library/Application Support/io.parity.ethereum/testnet/log/";
touch "$HOME/Library/Application Support/io.parity.ethereum/testnet/log/parity.log";

mkdir -p "$HOME/Library/Application Support/io.parity.ethereum/testnet/passwords";
touch "$HOME/Library/Application Support/io.parity.ethereum/testnet/passwords/node.pwds";
echo 'test123456' >> "$HOME/Library/Application Support/io.parity.ethereum/testnet/passwords/node.pwds";

  • Run the Parity Node with the custom configuration that uses the Kovan Network

    • UI version.
      • Change UI Options to force = true
      • Add to WebSocket config origins = ["http://127.0.0.1:8180"]
parity ui --config ./kovan-config.toml

parity ui --config ./kovan-config.toml -lrpc=trace

  • It prompts you with the following:

    Unable to make a connection to the Parity Secure API. To update your secure token or to generate a new one, run parity signer new-token and paste the generated token into the space below. Ensure that both the Parity node and this machine connecting have computer clocks in-sync with each other and with a timestamp server, ensuring both successful token validation and block operations.

  • Generate a Token from your computer and paste the output into the browser

parity signer new-token --config /Users/Ls/code/blockchain/parity-docker/kovan-config.toml --db-path "Users/Ls/Library/Application Support/io.parity.ethereum/testnet/chains"

  • NOTE: This does not work, it just shows warnings that indicate the an invalid token was provided.

  • CLI version

parity --config ./kovan-config.toml -lrpc=trace
