We had the question about if it's remote, why do I need to install anything.

[m3dwards]

• People didn't understand that you had to clone the galen repo

fixed in bitcoin-dev-project/battle-of-galen-erso@97e2cf4 --MZ

[m3dwards]

People asked what the 99 nodes were based on, i.e. v28.

[m3dwards]

• People didn't know to expand the section on fork observer to see the full hostname

"Tanks in the kubernetes network have URIs that include a namespace. URIs for all tanks can be seen in the "description" field in the fork-observer web UI."

Update the warnet/app docker image

[m3dwards]

Sometimes the warnet run didn't work. Looked like the code didn't get uploaded. Also had an RPC command fail.

• update the node defaults to disable net logging by default?

See if logs work and give everyone the link

[m3dwards]

Shall we tell people that if they want to turn on specific logging that they can ask us?

[m3dwards]

The invalid op_code scenario is really hard to take down because the transactions have to pass standardness checks. Could we disable the standardness checks?

[m3dwards]

need to make it easier to find the hostnames

[m3dwards]

Add code snippets on how to do things in scenarios like sending a message, creating a transaction connecting to a peer.

[m3dwards]

• Someone asked if we could bundle the actual functional test suite or at least link to it

We did: https://github.com/bitcoin-dev-project/battle-of-galen-erso?tab=readme-ov-file#hints --MZ

[m3dwards]

bitcorncore.org has lots of references to bitcoincore which could be grep'd and changed

[m3dwards]

Perhaps rename miner_std to local_miner?

• Change the exporter metrics. Utxo set size from one node and memory usage info from target nodes

Write a guide in the documentation on how to switch back and forth between cluster and local.
