RsNano V1.0RC1 ready for testing

After more than two years of development, the first release candidate of RsNano is finally ready for testing! Our code statistics currently show only 61% Rust and 39% C++ code, but this picture is deceptive. In reality, the node logic is 100% written in Rust and only the RPC server, the command line interface (CLI) and most of the tests are still written in C++. Thanks to Rui’s work, the CLI and the RPC server will also be written in Rust in V2 and we will then have a 100% Rust node.

A lot of code has been changed over the last 2 years. It is very likely that despite continuous testing, there are still bugs in the program. Therefore:

This version is not suitable for productive use. Please test it in the beta network if possible and please do not install this version on a principal representative!

I’ve successfully bootstrapped the beta and the live ledger with this version. In theory you could also use an existing ledger file from nano_node, but this is not recommended. Initial performance tests by gr0vity showed that RsNano can keep up with the official nano_node.

Incompatibilities with nano_node

RsNano V1.0RC1 is equivalent to nano_node V27.1.

In RsNano there is currently no support for:

Work generation with the distributed work server
Work generation with OpenCL
UPNP

These features will be readded in a future release.

How to install?

The official docker image is: simpago/rsnano:V1.0RC1

You can run a beta node with:

docker run -d --name rsnano -p 54000:54000 -v ~/NanoBeta:/root/NanoBeta simpago/rsnano:V1.0RC1 nano_node daemon --network=beta

You can run a live node with:

docker run -d --name rsnano -p 7075:7075 -v ~/Nano:/root/Nano simpago/rsnano:V1.0RC1 nano_node daemon --network=live

Or you can compile it yourself. See the Github readme for instructions.
