[ANN] Distributed EXchange VM on your laptop: obelisk + mastercoin-tools + UI

A local VM of masterchain.info can run on your laptop: obelisk + mastercoin-tools + UI

Now you can play with the bitcoin 2.0 distributed exchange of masterchain.info web hybrid wallet (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583370.0) locally on your laptop
Install it via virtualbox.

The vm image (a.k.a appliance) is available for download on:
https://masterchain.info/downloads/mint2b.ova (open virtualization format version 1.0)
or using zsync:
zsync http://obelisk.secseq.com/mint2b.ova.zsync
md5sum:
143b942d8f114e510995fcbe7f605e40 mint2b.ova
size: 1440306688

Import the appliance to VirtualVox.
you may need to enable vboxnet0 (see http://islandora.ca/content/fixing-missing-vboxnet0 ) if virtual box complains on missing vboxnet0.

and access your local fresh webserver:
http://192.168.56.102 (or 101).
it will look and function exactly like masterchain.info
you will have all wallet features, including transactions creations for send/sell/accept

you can ssh dev@192.168.56.102
password dev

Code:

# to update mastercoin-tools and masterchain-world to the latest version
cd ~/masterchain-mint2b/mastercoin-tools
git pull
cd ~/masterchain-mint2b/masterchain-world
git pull

Code:

# to sync parse and validate using obelisk *once*
cd ~/masterchain-mint2b/mastercoin-tools/
sh msc_cron.sh
# make sure to clean the locks before on /tmp/m*.lock
# it may take long minutes depending on your bandwidth to the obelisk,
# how busy the obelisk is, and how many blocks behind your parsing setup is

Warning: there is no firewall and no security measures were taken (including default password), so if you expose the appliance on the Internet - make sure to fix that!

If you are also into playing ...... so continue below:

Code:

# for a full obelisk node that runs locally:
# retrieve a snapshot of the blockchain on your host:
# zsync http://obelisk.secseq.com/obelisk_blockchain.tar.zsync
# extract it:
# tar xf obelisk_blockchain.tar
# copy it into virtualbox
# scp -dpr blockchain dev@192.168.1.102:worker1/
# run the obelisk
cd ~/worker1
obworker

# update .sx.cfg with
service = "tcp://localhost:9091"

Code:

# to run a consensus checker:
sh msc_compare_cron.sh
# and check results on
# http://192.168.56.102/general/MSC-difference.txt

# to start parsing from a specific block (e.g. 300000)
python msc_parse.py -r ~/masterchain-mint2b/mastercoin-tools -s 300000 > parsed.log

# to validate without bitcoin balance
python msc_validate -d -b > validated.log
