How better to visualize Solana’s first public testnet than as a party wave? We celebrate the forthcoming release with codename Tourmaline, after the San Diego surf park where anything goes. Will the newb next to you catch that wave? Going left, going right, why not both? A crash here or there is both acceptable and expected. Come join the party!
How to join the party wave?
On Ubuntu 16.04, install solana with snap:
$ sudo snap install solana --edge --devmodeRun solana-wallet to interact with the public testnet. Request an airdrop and send @garious some tokens for posting such a swell swell pic:
$ solana.wallet testnet.solana.com airdrop --tokens=100
$ solana.wallet testnet.solana.com pay --tokens=10 --to=83astBRguLMdt2h5U1Tpdq5tjFoJ6noeGwaY3mDLVcri
$ solana.wallet testnet.solana.com balance
