 3 2018-03-01 23:31:41 <nullifies> Hey, I have a project I am working on that requires regtest, but I can't seem to get it working correctly. I am trying to use a cluster to simulate the bitcoin network.
 4 2018-03-01 23:32:29 <nullifies> I am trying to simulate the Bitcoin Blockchain using regtest for research reasons but am having lots of trouble. I have a beowulf cluster that I am trying to run the simulation on. For some specifics I am trying to rapidly send transactions and generate blocks with specified block times. I am using MPI in C++ with GitHub.com/minium/bitcoin-cpp-api to attempt this. Can anyone suggest a better or more simple way of approaching t
 5 2018-03-01 23:36:53 <ProfMac> I am generating a doppelganger of a blockchain with blocktimes that fit tighter statistics, so I have been deep into that source code.  However, I don't know what regtest is.
 6 2018-03-01 23:42:35 <nullifies> Im actually trying to do something somewhat similar
 7 2018-03-01 23:42:50 <nullifies> I am trying to test how different blocktimes affect the network
 8 2018-03-01 23:44:09 <nullifies> Regtest is just a sort of testnet that allows you to have complete control over the chain. you can semi instantly mine blocks so I am using that to get rid of the randomness of a retargeting algorithm
 9 2018-03-01 23:46:28 <ProfMac> I set up (multiple) instances of the client in their own directories, and got creative with IPv6 addresses to be sure that only my quarantine network was involved.  I also changed the blocktime, interval, and difficulty so that things speeded up.
10 2018-03-01 23:55:20 <buZz> woa beowulf? i didnt know ppl still used that
11 2018-03-01 23:55:37 <buZz> 1up for retro reasons :)
