Here we go! A new testing currency has been launched yesterday, 16:43 GMT+2, and has now reached its cruising speed and is stable! đ
Itâs time for you to join in! đČ
How you could do such thing?! Easy! Like before, just follow our tutorial (below).
**Please note this is yet another testing currency** , with a _very high money creation rate_. But this currency is the very first implementation of the new protocol (0.2), which will propel the future _real_, _production_ currencies.
Have fun!

# Joining TestNet [Tutorial]
If you would like to join our testing currency `Test_Net`, then you should follow these few steps:
### 1. Install Sakia & publish your identity
A tutorial has been written for this purpose : [Sakia getting started tutorial](https://forum.duniter.org/t/tutorial-subscribe-to-the-testing-currency/143)
> Pour les Français, [il existe également une version dans votre langue natale ici](https://forum.duniter.org/c/francais/premiers-pas-sur-duniter), aussi bien pour utiliser Sakia que [Cesium](http://cesium.duniter.fr).
### 2. Ask for certifications on the forum
Now your identity + join membership should be on the server. But for your membership to be written in the blockchain, **you will need at least 1 signature** from existing members. So, you are pleased to create a topic presenting you, your identity, and give âproofsâ of identity ownership.
For example:
> Subject : [Ask for Certifications] cgeek
>
> Hi there,
>
> I am **cgeek** , founder of uCoin project. I am also known as _c-geek_ or _twicedd_. Here are few resources for proving my identity:
>
> - [diaspora\*/cgeek](https://diaspora-fr.org/people/f9d13420f9ff013197aa01beea1f31e2)
> - [github/c-geek](https://github.com/c-geek)
> - [twitter/twicedd](https://twitter.com/twicedd)
> - [Monnaie Libre n°47 Le projet uCoin â Monnaie Libre](http://www.monnaielibre.creationmonetaire.info/monnaie-libre-n47-le-projet-ucoin/)
> - [http://www.openudc.org/2014/09/08/4th-freedom-money-meeting-27-28-29-and-30th-november/](http://www.openudc.org/2014/09/08/4th-freedom-money-meeting-27-28-29-and-30th-november/)
> - My user identity: **cgeek**
> - my public key: HnFcSms8jzwngtVomTTnzudZx7SHUQY8sVE1y8yBmULk
>
> Feel free to ask me questions on social networks so I can prove I own those accounts.
>
> Thanks!
### 3. Join the money
You need to ask to join the money to become member:
### 4. Once you are a member, certify newcomers!
Today you were the newcomer, tomorrow you will be the member who certify them! Do not hesitate to certify newcomers & existing members asking for certifications so the community can grow & live.
**However, please follow below guidelines:**
1. Donât certify an account if you believe the issuers identity might be faked.
2. Donât certify an account if you believe the issuer already has another certified account.
3. Donât certify an account if you believe the issuer purposely or carelessly violates rule 1 or 2 (the issuer certifies faked or double accounts)

Pour info je suis en train dâinvestiguer sur tout cela, mais vous devriez avoir au moins :
- [cgeek.fr:9330](http://cgeek.fr:9330/blockchain/current) (noeud membre)
- [cgeek.fr:9331](http://cgeek.fr:9331/blockchain/current) (noeud mirroir)
de fonctionnels et sur lesquels vous baser ( **synchronisez-vous sur lâun dâentre eux svp !** ).
Aussi, ne vous Ă©tonnez pas de voir apparaĂźtre votre nouveau noeud avec retard dans Sakia, ça peut prendre jusquâĂ 30 minutes !
edit: [ça devrait ĂȘtre beaucoup plus stable](https://forum.duniter.org/t/ajouter-des-noeuds-au-reseau/815/5?u=cgeek) maintenant. Par ailleurs, la dĂ©couverte des pairs du rĂ©seau devient quasi instantanĂ©e.

Yes, certifications is now working well on [cesium](http://cesium.duniter.fr) đ
To find someone to certify, you must follow this steps:
- click on âExplore currenciesâ from the home page (or âCurrenciesâ from the left menu)
- fill the âcommunityâ field, to execute a search on the WoT.
- click on the UID to certify
- On the user profile page, click on âcertifyâ button. If this button is not visible, the user has not ask to become a member yet.
You can have a direct access to a user profile, from a public key:
[http://cesium.duniter.fr/#/app/wot/PUBKEY](http://cesium.duniter.fr/#/app/wot/PUBKEY)
[En Français]
Pour rechercher un membre Ă certifier, cela nâest pas encore trĂšs facile :
- cliquez dans le menu âMonnaiesâ (ou explorer les monnaies, dans la page dâaccueil)
- dans le champ âCommunautĂ©â, tapez votre recherche : lâUID de lâutilisateur ou run dĂ©but de clĂ© publique
- cliquez sur lâidentitiĂ©
- cliquez sur le bouton âcertifierâ. Si ce bouton nâest pas prĂ©sent, câest que lâutilisateur nâa pas encore fait la demande dâentrer dans la communautĂ©, ou que celle-ci a expirĂ©e.
Vous pouvez Ă©galement accĂ©der directement au profil dâune personne en utilisant lâadresse suivante :

On linux, you will need to install the following package because of a packaging issue :
[http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/libs/libsodium/libsodium13\_1.0.1-1\_amd64.deb](http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/libs/libsodium/libsodium13_1.0.1-1_amd64.deb)
To do so :
```bash
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/libs/libsodium/libsodium13_1.0.1-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libsodium13_1.0.1-1_amd64.deb
```

Small changes :
- an installer is available for Windows thanks to cgeek contribution
- the community tiles now displays more information about membership status (expiration, distance in the wotâŠ)
EDIT : Membership remaining time seems [wrongly computed](https://github.com/duniter/sakia/issues/423), so donât panic if it seems short đ
