It is now much easier to run an #Ercoin node for testing purposes, as:
• It doesn’t need #IPFS anymore. IPFS is an interesting technology, but it still seems to have issues with consuming too much resources: https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/issues/1482 , which makes running it on a non-dedicated hardware problematic.
• #Docker Compose can be used to start both ABCI server (written in Erlang) and ABCI client (Tendermint): https://gitlab.com/Ercoin/ercoin/blob/b8a31c2fda5b05050b661a288e6b91a331adcb33/README.md#docker-integration
