For unknown reasons my nodes refuse connecting to each other. This is not only me though apprently #77. There was an attempt to fix that by @JesseAbram, however, it never really landed.
So I just went ahead and implemented @bkchr's suggestion (at least my interpretation of it): do not wait for the node to start up and just embed the keys into the chainspec.
Specifically, the config gets a new parameter for a node:
nodeKey
. This is a 32 byte hex encoded string, the same as you would put in--node-key
parameter when running a substrate node. In fact, we pass the node key with that flag upon spawning the validator nodes. In case the config does not specify node key, we just generate it. Then that nodeKey we construct a peer id, and use that to generate the boot nodes list. The boot nodes list assumes localhost/127.0.0.1.Since this PR adds new dependencies, I also updated the yarn.nix.
