## Init refchan


1. Generate owner's keypair

```
hbs2 keyring-new > owner.key

hbs2 keyrint-list owner.key
sign-key:  Atg67E6CPMJWKvR9BvwZTTEjg3Hjz4CYCaEARGANepGP
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
``

2. Generate (or obtain) author's keys

3. Create refchan head config, like:

```
cat > refchan.cfg

(version 16) ;; version
(quorum 2)   ;; required answers to set up a quorum
(wait 15)    ;; time in seconds for round to complete

 ;; peer's key authoried to rely/subscribe messages
(peer "35gKUG1mwBTr3tQpjWwR2kBYEnDmHxesoJL5Lj7tMjq3" 1)

;; same
(peer "5GnroAC8FXNRL8rcgJj6RTu9mt1AbuNd5MZVnDBcCKzb" 1)

;; author (key, authorized to post messages)
(author "2cU7qBWpohfco4BcbHGPjF6ypGdqDwpKomp8ky6QAEBy")
(author "EoPuukyDLeaZm3vpN3CAuZfjhrYBh6fVyWXcXueCK4i8")

```

4. Make the peer "listen" the refchan

```
cat >> ~/.config/hbs2-peer/config

poll refchan 5 "5ZHZkatu1GeeHybdBms6xFFBWti1cqJtKAjiMmtDT6XQ"

```

5. Set up the head block

```
hbs2-peer refchan gen ./refchan.cfg -k owner.key | hbs2 store

merkle-root:  FJ2Lj1kB4oFf8F3rL1xv3gaG5kzrPMmE2hPm5oQziLy5
              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

hbs2-peer refchan post FJ2Lj1kB4oFf8F3rL1xv3gaG5kzrPMmE2hPm5oQziLy5

```

6. Check the head block:

```
hbs2 keyring-list owner.key
sign-key: Atg67E6CPMJWKvR9BvwZTTEjg3Hjz4CYCaEARGANepGP
          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

hbs2-peer refchan head get Atg67E6CPMJWKvR9BvwZTTEjg3Hjz4CYCaEARGANepGP
FJ2Lj1kB4oFf8F3rL1xv3gaG5kzrPMmE2hPm5oQziLy5

hbs2 cat FJ2Lj1kB4oFf8F3rL1xv3gaG5kzrPMmE2hPm5oQziLy5 | hbs2-peer refchan head dump
