Week 5 Update

Following up on my Week 4 update, where I was able to run Geth + Lodestar locally, I am now working on my Lodestar fork in order to run Lodestar with ephemery as a valid network option (building on the existing work by pk910 - thanks pk!).

Status:

• Submitted my project proposal
• Able to run my Lodestar fork
• Reviewing (my) Lodestar network settings vs the Ephemery spec
• Beginning: adding the ephemery genesis into Lodestar

Goals for the next week:

• Deeper understanding of spec vs Lodestar
• Run validator service with my fork
• Better understanding of Mac OS issue
