Warning

Github tracking: https://github.com/ChainMovers/suibase/issues/117

Autocoins is an optional feature for automatic daily deposit of testnet Sui coins into any Sui address.

Once enabled, there is no further action required from you.

Some requirements to be aware of:

These requirements relate to the "proof-of-installation" protocol used to fight bots.

For help type $ testnet autocoins --help

Enabling Autocoins

If not already done, first install suibase.

Do $ testnet autocoins enable

You can verify your config with $ testnet autocoins status

Do $ testnet autocoins set <address>

It may take up to 48 hours before a new address starts to be used for deposits.

If you do not set a deposit address, the default will be the active address at the time the feature was enabled.

Type $ testnet autocoins disable

This will stop further verification and deposits, but will still consume space on your local storage.

If later re-enabling, then it may take up to 48 hours for the deposits to resume.

The protocol requires ~500MB stored in ~/suibase/workdirs/common/autocoins/data

There is nothing for you to add/modify there, but you might appreciate knowing where the data is stored.

To delete the storage, do $ testnet autocoins purge-data. It will take ~25 days to re-download the data and resume daily deposits.

Suibase generate its own testnet keystore, from which the default active-address is selected.

Location of the keystore is:
~/suibase/workdirs/testnet/config/sui.keystore

You can check the balance with $ tsui client balance and get the active-address with $ tsui client active-address
