On November 30th 2018 IoTeX accomplished a great milestone with the release of the "Open Testnet Phase I": now users could run their own node and give life to the first really decentralized IoTeX Network. Waiting for this moment for a long time, I configured and run a full node of the testnet, testing many configurations both on Mac and Linux, on a cloud server and in a local lan. My work also led the team to discover and fix some bugs and, eventually I made a tutorial video where I shared my experience with the community and helped many people getting started wit running the full node.
