* frame: Default for GenesisConfig in no_std
`Default` for `GenesisConfig` will be required for no_std in no native
runtime world. It must be possible to instantiate default GenesisConfig
for pallets and runtime.
* ".git/.scripts/commands/fmt/fmt.sh"
* hash69 in no_std reverted
* derive(DefaultNoBound) for GenesisConfig used when possible
* treasury: derive(Default)
* Cargo.lock update
* genesis_config: compiler error improved
When std feature is not enabled for pallet, the GenesisConfig will be
defined, but serde::{Serialize,Deserialize} traits will not be
implemented.
The compiler error indicates the reason of latter errors.
This is temporary and serde traits will be enabled with together with
`serde` support in frame.

Transaction Storage Pallet
Indexes transactions and manages storage proofs.
Allows storing arbitrary data on the chain. Data is automatically removed after StoragePeriod blocks, unless the storage is renewed.
Validators must submit proof of storing a random chunk of data for block N - StoragePeriod when producing block N.
Running a chain
The following describes how to set up a new storage chain.
Start with generating a chain spec.
cargo run --release -- build-spec --chain=local > sc_init.json
Edit the json chain spec file to customise the chain. The storage chain genesis params are configured in the transactionStorage section.
Note that storagePeriod is specified in blocks and changing it also requires code changes at the moment.
Build a raw spec from the init spec.
cargo run --release build-spec --chain=sc_init.json --raw > sc.json
Run a few validator nodes.
cargo run --release -- --chain=sc.json -d /tmp/alice --storage-chain --keep-blocks=100800 --ipfs-server --validator --alice
cargo run --release -- --chain=sc.json -d /tmp/bob --storage-chain --keep-blocks=100800 --ipfs-server --validator --bob
--storage-chain enables transaction indexing.
--keep-blocks=100800 enables block pruning. The value here should be greater or equal than the storage period.
--ipfs-server enables serving stored content over IPFS.
Once the network is started, any other joining nodes need to sync with --sync=fast. Regular sync will fail because block pruning removes old blocks. The chain does not keep full block history.
cargo run --release -- --chain=sc.json -d /tmp/charlie --storage-chain --keep-blocks=100800 --ipfs-server --validator --charlie --sync=fast
Making transactions
To store data use the transactionStorage.store extrinsic. And IPFS CID can be generated from the Blake2-256 hash of the data.
const util_crypto = require('@polkadot/util-crypto');
const keyring_api = require('@polkadot/keyring');
const polkadot_api = require('@polkadot/api');
const fs = require('fs');
const multihash = require('multihashes');
const CID = require('cids')
const wsProvider = new polkadot_api.WsProvider();
const api = await polkadot_api.ApiPromise.create({ provider: wsProvider });
const keyring = new keyring_api.Keyring({ type: "sr25519" });
const alice = keyring.addFromUri("//Alice");
const file = fs.readFileSync('cute_kitten.jpeg');
const hash = util_crypto.blake2AsU8a(file)
const encoded_hash = multihash.encode(hash, 'blake2b-256');
const cid = new CID(1, 'blake2b-256', encoded_hash)
console.log(cid.toString());
const txHash = await api.tx.transactionStorage.store('0x' + file.toString('hex')).signAndSend(alice);
Data can be queried over IPFS
ipfs swarm connect <substrate peer address>
ipfs block get /ipfs/<CID> > kitten.jpeg
To renew data and prevent it from being disposed after the storage period, use transactionStorage.renew(block, index)
where block is the block number of the previous store or renew transction, and index is the index of that transaction in the block.
