Ethereum Hacking Day
We played around with Ethereum in the coredump hackerspace and these are our finding.
Download the Etereum Client
ArchLinux
On ArchLinux install geth:
$ sudo pacman -S geth
Then install mist from AUR:
$ yaourt -S mist
Mac OSX
$ brew tap ethereum/ethereum
$ brew cask install ethereum
Start the Testnet
There are issues with the GUI-clients. So I suggest to use the following to get started fast (about 15min).
$ geth --fast --testnet
If you already started synchronizing with the GUI-client then you may want to delete the chaindata folder before starting geth.
