Boost

Boost is an initial experiment/prototype of markets v2 module for Filecoin. It aims to replace the lotus-miner markets service. For more information, see: https://docs.filecoin.io/mine/lotus/split-markets-miners/

Building

git clone https://github.com/filecoin-project/boost
cd boost
make build

Initialisation and Running

0. Compile and install (move binaries to $PATH)

make build
make install

1. Make sure you have a local Lotus fullnode and miner running and listening to localhost:1234 and localhost:2345 respectively, for example with a devnet:

devnet

Note that currently devnet is using the default paths that lotus and lotus-miner use for their repositories, and you should make sure these directories are empty:

LOTUS_PATH=~/.lotus
LOTUS_MINER_PATH=~/.lotusminer

rm -rf ~/.lotus ~/.lotusminer

2. Create Boost repository

FULLNODE_API_INFO=/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/1234/http boost --vv init --api-sector-index=`lotus-miner auth api-info --perm=admin`

3. Run Boost service

FULLNODE_API_INFO=/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/1234/http boost run

4. Interact with Boost
