getting started_configure server

Node type

We can get three types of node as configuration.

• BP Node - Block provider node, which mines and propagates blocks
• Full Node - Node to get and validate all blocks
• Single Node - BP Node without peer, which uses to something like test.

We describe only single node configuration in this. More will updated for the BP Node and full node.

Single Aergo Server (default)

We will show default configuration file next. You can check the each fields' meaning in here

Testmode

To enable testmode, either pass the command line option --testmode to aergosvr or set enabletestmode = true in the configuration.

In testmode, all new accounts are assigned a high number of Aergo tokens by default, basically circumventing balance checks. This means you can send any transaction without first pre-funding hard-coded accounts using a genesis block.

Testmode MUST NOT be used in production.
