Simple setup to test basics of parity's block reward contracts

How-to

1. install parity 1.11 (tested on 1.11.0)
2. clone repository

git clone https://github.com/phahulin/test-block-reward.git
cd test-block-reward

3. install dependencies

npm install

4. start two parity nodes for two validators in separate terminal windows

parity --config node1.toml

and

parity --config node2.toml

5. wait till you see both enode://... printed to logs, then tell nodes about each other:

$ ./mate.sh 
true
true

you should see 1/25 peers appear in each log

6. start script to track balances

node catch-all.js

7. to reset the network and remove chain files, run

./clear-all.sh

Expected result

Up until block 20 you should see validators receive 1 eth reward to their mining key in round-robin fashion. From block 20 onwards they will start receiving 10 eth reward to payout key + 5 eth will be sent to vault address.

Note that this contract cannot emit events
