Create your Own Testnet
To create your own testnet, first each validator will need to install gaiad and run gen-tx
gaiad init gen-tx --name <account_name>
This populations $HOME/.gaiad/gen-tx/ with a json file.
Now these json files need to be aggregated together via Github, a Google form, pastebin or other methods.
Place all files on one computer in $HOME/.gaiad/gen-tx/
gaiad init --gen-txs -o --chain=<chain-name>
This will generate a genesis.json in $HOME/.gaiad/config/genesis.json distribute this file to all validators on your testnet.
Export state
To export state and reload (useful for testing purposes):
gaiad export > genesis.json; cp genesis.json ~/.gaiad/config/genesis.json; gaiad start
