tl;dr

The trusted setup is coordinated entirely in the telegram group chat. People who are selected will take turns making their contributions. When it is your turn, the Succinct team will message you an AWS access key and secret for uploading your contributions.

Make sure your computer you’re running this on has the following

• Good upload/download speed (at least 200 Mbps)
• At least 150 GB of disk space
  • At least 64 cores

1. Install docker on your computer. You may already have it installed. Check by running sudo docker ps .

• MacOS
  • Install Homebrew
  • brew install docker
• Windows
  • Install WSL
  • Install Ubuntu 22.04
  • Follow ubuntu instructions
• Ubuntu 20.04 / Ubuntu 22.04
  • sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
  • sudo apt install -y docker-compose
  • sudo systemctl enable --now docker

2. Make the directory where all your downloaded files & contributions will live

mkdir trusted_setup_workspace
# Do not cd into the folder!

3. Pull the docker image.

sudo docker pull public.ecr.aws/y3w2k4v3/succinct-telepathy-trusted-setup:latest

4. Run this command to download + generate contribution + upload your contribution. Will take 1-2 hours, depending on your machine. Your entropy should not have spaces or random characters like * that will mess up the command line.

sudo docker run \\
	--name succinct \\
	-d -v trusted_setup_workspace:/workspace \\
	public.ecr.aws/y3w2k4v3/succinct-telepathy-trusted-setup:latest \\
	sh scripts/succinctTrustedSetup.sh \\
	--awsKey "AWS_ACCESS_KEY_PROVIDED_BY_SUCCINCT" \\
	--awsSecret "AWS_ACCESS_SECRET_PROVIDED_BY_SUCCINCT" \\
	--contributorHandle "TWITTER_HANDLE_WITHOUT_@" \\
	--entropy "A_RANDOM_LONG_STRING_THAT_PROVIDES_ENTROPY" \\
&& sudo docker logs -f succinct

4. After the above commands complete, tweet the provided link and you should be done!

FAQ / Troubleshooting

• Note that the docker command runs in detached mode so that you don’t have to keep your terminal alive.
• To examine the logs from the container (to know when it’s finished), run: docker logs -f --since 10m succinct
