# litecoin-testnet-box
This is a private, difficulty 1 testnet in a box.
The master branch is meant for litecoind v0.8.0.
Check the tags for other litecoind versions.
You must have litecoind installed on your system and in the path.
## Starting the testnet-box
This will start-up two nodes using the two datadirs `1` and `2`. They
will only connect to each other in order to remain an isolated private testnet.
You need two because otherwise the node won't generate blocks.
Node `1` will listen on port `19100`, allowing node `2` to connect to it.
Node `1` will listen on port `19101` and node `2` will listen on port `19111`
for the JSON-RPC server.
```
$ make start
```
## Check the status of the nodes
```
$ make getinfo
litecoind -datadir=1 getinfo
{

"protocolversion" : 70002,
"walletversion" : 60000,
"balance" : 3200.00000000,
