Simulation Test for the AToM protocol

AToM Simulation setup

Files for performing the setup using docker are placed into the /SimulationTest folder.

Requirements

• Docker
• Python 2.7
• pip install lockfile

Usage

sudo python main.py [OPTION] [arg]

Where [OPTION] can be:

-s : Creates a bitcoin blockchain of [arg] nodes, placed into different docker containers. The nodes are connected randomly between them, whereas there is a non-connected node called nodeMonitor. Other nodes are called nodeX where X is an incremental number. Moreover, every node randomly mines blocks and sends fundings to other nodes randomly selected.

-d : Deletes the bitcoin blockchain and all the containers.

-t : Perform tests.

-r : Randomize.

Bitcoin Core

Binaries of Bitcon Core implementing the POC protocol are in the 'btcbin' folder

Source code can be found here.

SimpleTest

Usage: ./poc-test.sh NUMNODES NUMCONNECTIONS

The script creates NUMNODES nodes and NUMCONNECTIONS random connections between nodes.

Data is stored in a folder named poctest.
