Bogdan-Ștefan Neacşu 57df77a995 Layer selection (#664)
* mixnode: Remove layer computation from mixnode

The layer is currently computed locally. This should be moved to
the validator, and the mixnode should find this information via
a query. Until the query is actually processed, we keep the layer
field as None.

* contracts: Compute layer of bonding mixnode

Predictably compute the best layer of a bonding mixnode by putting it on
the layer with the fewest mixnodes and, in case of equality, with the
smallest index e.g. layer 1 is better then layer 3 if both have
the fewest mixnodes.

The layer received from the client app is regarded as a preferred option
and is only accepted if the number of nodes on the preferred layer is not
bigger then the one on the best layer.

* contracts: Add tests for layer selection

* mixnode: Upgrade from 0.10.2 to 0.10.3

The config file is changed so that it's only containing the layer if
the layer exists.

* contracts: Move the layer from MixNode to MixNodeBond

Remove the option of a client app to propose a preferred
layer.

* contracts: Remove Layer::Invalid as it no longer makes sense...

... because layer choice is now present only in the contract.

Nym Mixnode

A Rust mixnode implementation.

Usage

  • nym-mixnode prints a help message showing usage options
  • nym-mixnode run --help prints a help message showing usage options for the run command
  • nym-mixnode run --layer 1 --host x.x.x.x will start the mixnode in layer 1 and bind to the specified host IP address. Coordinate with other people in your network to find out which layer needs coverage.

By default, the Nym Mixnode will start on port 1789. If desired, you can change the port using the --port option.
