Create Haveno network quick start guide
These instructions describe how to quickly start a public Haveno network running on Monero's main network from your local machine, which is useful for demonstration and testing.
For a more robust and decentralized deployment to VPS for reliable uptime, see the deployment guide.
Clone and build Haveno
git clone https://github.com/haveno-dex/haveno.git
cd haveno
git checkout master
make clean && make
Start a Monero node
In a new terminal window, run make monerod to start and sync a Monero node on mainnet.
Seed nodes and arbitrators require a local, unrestricted Monero node for performance and functionality.
Start and register seed nodes
In a new terminal window, run: make seednode.
The seed node's onion address will print to the screen (denoted by Hidden service). Record the seed node's URL to xmr_mainnet.seednodes with port 1002. For example, 4op7nzb65z4xg2taqmt2uhih7uwi3ya25yx5bvskbkjisnq7rwepzvad.onion:1002.
In a new terminal window, run: make seednode2.
The seed node's onion address will print to the screen (denoted by Hidden service). Record the seed node's URL to xmr_mainnet.seednodes with port 1003. For example, abwyc7ccjq4oyiej5z3dpwupzql34nnedaft5jc5l2dbocko7naosrjqd.onion:1003.
Stop both seed nodes.
Register public key(s) for various roles
Run ./gradlew generateKeypairs. A list of public/private keypairs will print to the screen which can be used for different roles like arbitration, sending private notifications, etc.
For demonstration, we can use the first generated public/private keypair for all roles, but you can customize as desired.
Hardcode the public key(s) in these files:
Start the seed nodes
Rebuild for the previous changes to the source code to take effect: make skip-tests.
In a new terminal window, run: make seednode.
In a new terminal window, run: make seednode2.
Start and register the arbitrator
In a new terminal window, run: make arbitrator-desktop-mainnet.
Ignore the error about not receiving a filter object.
Go to the Account tab and then press ctrl + r. A prompt will open asking to enter the key to register the arbitrator. Enter your private key.
Set a network filter on mainnet
On mainnet, the p2p network is expected to have a filter object for offers, onions, currencies, payment methods, etc.
To set the network's filter object:
- Enter
ctrl + fin the arbitrator or other Haveno instance to open the Filter window. - Enter a developer private key from the previous steps and click "Add Filter" to register.
Other configuration
Set the network's release date
Set the network's approximate release date by setting RELEASE_DATE in HavenoUtils.java.
This will prevent posting sell offers which no buyers can take before any buyer accounts are signed and aged, while the network bootstraps.
After a period (default 60 days), the limit is lifted and sellers can post offers exceeding unsigned buy limits, but they will receive an informational warning for an additional period (default 6 months after release).
The defaults can be adjusted with the related constants in HavenoUtils.java.
Optionally configure trade fees
Trade fees can be configured in HavenoUtils.java. The maker and taker fee percents can be adjusted.
Set ARBITRATOR_ASSIGNS_TRADE_FEE_ADDRESS to true for the arbitrator to assign the trade fee address, which defaults to their own wallet.
Otherwise set ARBITRATOR_ASSIGNS_TRADE_FEE_ADDRESS to false and set the XMR address in getGlobalTradeFeeAddress() to collect all trade fees to a single address (e.g. a multisig wallet shared among network administrators).
Optionally start a price node
The price node is separated from Haveno and is run as a standalone service. To deploy a pricenode on both TOR and clearnet, see the instructions on the repository: https://github.com/haveno-dex/haveno-pricenode.
After the price node is built and deployed, add the price node to DEFAULT_NODES in ProvidersRepository.java.
Review all local changes
For comparison, placeholders to run on mainnet are marked here on this branch.
Start users for testing
Optionally set --ignoreLocalXmrNode to true in Makefile for the user applications to use public nodes and ignore the locally running Monero node, in order test real network conditions.
Start user1: make user1-desktop-mainnet.
Start user2: make user2-desktop-mainnet.
Test trades among the users and arbitrator over Monero's mainnet.
Build the installers for distribution
If you want to build the installers for distribution, first change XMR_STAGENET to XMR_MAINNET in package.gradle.
Then follow instructions to build the installers for distribution.
Alternatively, the installers are built automatically by GitHub.
Share your repo for testing
If you commit your local changes and share your git repository's URL, others can make trades on your network by building from the same repository configuration. However a more robust VPS setup should be used for actual trades.
